Catherine Ochoa, or mononymously known as Cáthia is a Salvadoran American singer from Bronx, New York.
She rose to fame when she came in 13-16th place on the fourth season of the American version of reality television singing competition The Voice.[1]
Cáthia released her first single "Without You" produced by "Dante Lattanzi" of Caelum Music Production 47 days after her elimination on The Voice on June 24, 2013. Cáthia was the second Salvadoran American to participate on The Voice, after Adriana Louise who was on season three. Cáthia later participated in a reality television singing competition called "Yo Soy El Artista" (I Am The Artist) on Telemundo, where Cathia achieved a fourth-place finish, becoming the second Salvadoran American ever to advance to the final stages of a Telemundo singing competition production after Allison Iraheta.
Early life (before The Voice)
Cáthia was born in The Bronx in New York City to parents who immigrated from El Salvador. She attended high school at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, in New York City's Manhattan borough, where she learned opera.[2] She competed in an Apollo Theater Amateur Night, advancing to the semi-finals. Cáthia's mother created her own business, which fueled Cáthia's interest in singing.
The Voice

In the battle round, Cáthia lost to Mary Miranda but was stolen by Usher. She advanced through the knockouts beating Ryan Innes. In the Top 16 Cáthia was eliminated.
