No newcomer to the musical arena, Katie is a classically trained musician and got her professional start in 2014 when she was cast to sing the role of Anna in the world stage-premiere of the music from Disney's "Frozen" with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
However, it wasn't until 2018 that she began pursuing a Karen Carpenter tribute show. "Growing up, my parents gave me The Carpenters cassette tapes when I was about 9 years old at Christmas. I listened to Karen sing over and over again. I remember sitting with my eyes closed, focusing on the way Karen would sing and that she never missed a note. She taught me how to sing."
When Katie is not singing her Karen Carpenter tribute show, she is a vocalist for Walt Disney. She has been featured on songs as a Disney Princess sound-alike at Disneyland California, Walt Disney World Orlando, and has been a featured vocalist at Disneyland Paris and Disneyland Tokyo. Katie has been a SAG-AFTRA member since 2017 and has sung background vocals for country music icon, Dolly Parton, for Seth MacFarlane, as well as, Katy Perry.
Katie's latest project, "We've Only Just Begun, A Tribute Karen To Carpenter", released February 7, 2020. Katie and her husband, Donnie, live in Nashville, TN.
