Catharina Boutari aka Puder is a musician, producer and opera director from Hamburg, Germany. She runs her own feminist record label, Pussy Empire Recordings. Born in Austria, Boutari combines diverse identities with a self-possessed verve, a skill she learned from her Egyptian father and German mother.

As Puder she produces current international pop in a new way by defying the norms of traditional music recording processes and eschewing conventions. Since 2016, Catharina has been collaborating for her albums with musicians from Germany and abroad to write songs in 10-day sessions, record them live in the studio, with guests in the recording room, and accompany them with a film documentary.

Following her 2020 album "Session Tapes 4 + 5 - Tomorrowland mit Freunden" (Netherlands/Germany), Puder launched four digital/analog Europe songwritings with livestreams in 2021 and released the singles: Tunnels (UK with Jules Maxwell/Dead Can Dance), Spices (Bosnia/Germany), Airplane Dreams (Poland) and Let Us Talk (Iran). Furthermore she is a guest at the European project "European Ghosts“ performing too at Westway Lab.
