Black Belt Eagle Scout is the musical project of Katherine Paul, a Native American musician hailing from Portland, Oregon. Drawing inspiration from her indigenous roots and personal experiences, Paul creates introspective and emotionally charged indie rock music. Her captivating vocals and poignant lyrics explore themes of identity, love, and healing. With a unique blend of dreamy melodies and raw guitar riffs, Black Belt Eagle Scout's music resonates with listeners on a deep level.
Katherine Paul's journey as an artist began at a young age when she started playing drums in her school band. Over the years, she honed her skills as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. In 2018, she released her debut album "Mother of My Children," which received critical acclaim for its intimate storytelling and powerful soundscapes.
Since then, Black Belt Eagle Scout has continued to captivate audiences with their thought-provoking music. Their sophomore album "At the Party With My Brown Friends" further showcases Paul's talent for crafting emotive songs that resonate with listeners from all walks of life. Through her artistry, Black Belt Eagle Scout invites us to reflect on our own journeys while celebrating the power of self-expression.

Katherine Paul is Black Belt Eagle Scout, and Mother of My Children is her debut album. Recorded in the middle of winter near her hometown in Northwest Washington, Paul's connection to the landscape's eerie beauty are palpable throughout as the album traces the full spectrum of confronting buried feelings and the loss of what life was supposed to look like. Heavy and heartbroken from the loss of her mentor and the breakdown of a relationship, Paul found respite in the creation of these songs that "are about grief and love for people, but also about being a native person in what is the United States today." On Mother of My Children, the songs weave together to capture both the enduring and fleeting experiences of loss, frustration, and dreaming. The structures are traditional, but the lyrics don't adhere to any format other than what feels right in the moment. It begins with lead single "Soft Stud," which Paul describes as her "queer anthem" and is followed by "Indians Never Die," a call out to colonizers and those who don't respect the Earth. Mother of My Children is a life chapter gently preserved. The access listeners have to such vulnerability feels special and generous.
