Katie
No newcomer to the musical arena, Katie is a classically trained vocalist who got her professional start in 2014 when she was featured in the role of Anna alongside Broadway’s Ben Crawford as Hans in the world stage-premiere of the music from Disney’s Frozen with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for a six-week run.
Katie began performing her Karen Carpenter Tribute show in 2020 and has been keeping the music of the Carpenters alive for the last 6 years all over the country through her show We’ve Only Just Begun: An Evening with the Music of the Carpenters.
Additionally, Katie’s voice has been featured on songs at Disneyland California, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Disneyland Paris, and most recently, Disneyland Tokyo, where Katie can be heard singing When Will My Life Begin? from Tangled in the Harmony of Color parade that opened in Spring 2023.
Katie has been a vocal SAG-AFTRA member since 2017. She has also sung background vocals on projects for numerous artists, arrangers, and studios including Seth MacFarlane, Katy Perry, Dolly Parton, Hans Zimmer, EA Sports, Warner Brothers, Walt Disney Studios, and more.
Katie’s latest project, Over the Rainbow (The Someday Project), was recorded and released in video and streaming format on April 27, 2023, to raise money for children to receive counseling in the wake of The Covenant School shooting.
