Former 'Dream Academy' Contestant KARLEE GIRL Joins KATSEYE at Interscope

KARLEE GIRL, who competed alongside the future members of KATSEYE on "The Debut: Dream Academy," has signed with Interscope Records.

The singer announced the news on November 11, nearly three years after appearing on the HYBE and Geffen Records survival show that formed KATSEYE.

KARLEE GIRL was eliminated during the show's second mission but continued pursuing music independently. She made her solo debut in April 2025 with "Little Things" and later gained attention with her viral track "Right Back!"

She now joins Interscope, home to artists including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and KATSEYE.

In announcing the deal, KARLEE GIRL shared that she had spent the first half of 2025 drinking from an Interscope mug while joking about one day signing with the label.

She expressed her excitement at officially becoming an Interscope artist, thanked those who had supported her career and described the signing as just the beginning.

Her first single under the label, "Get 'Em Girls," is now available for pre-save.
