Born in Portland, Oregon, Katelyn is a singer-songwriter who draws inspiration from the human experience and her many travels.
After purchasing her first guitar at the age of 16, Katelyn taught herself to play and started writing simple songs from day one.
Katelyn continued writing songs in high school and her first 2 years of college at University of Oregon, but real inspiration didn't hit un...til she traveled to Europe in 2006 to attend a study abroad program in Oviedo, Spain. "Leaving the country for the first time was like being reborn. It was like breaking free of my self-made cocoon and finally being able to see past the end of my nose. It began a period of processing my feelings and observations through song-writing. And it's never really left me since."
Since that first trip to Europe in 2006, Katelyn has lived in Oviedo, Spain, Seoul, South Korea, Barcelona, Spain, and most recently Cape Town, South Africa. She has traveled extensively in Asia and India specifically, as well as Europe. Her guitar has been a faithful friend throughout all of these travels and her songs are often little windows into the revelations she makes while being challenged by the universal human experience and by the solitude of being far from home.
Her music has been described by those close to her as "hopeful-melancholy" and is often calm and subdued with a relatable message and poetic lyrics. The effect of this type of music sang by her smooth and rich voice is immediately soothing and memorable.
Katelyn now resides in Cape Town, South Africa where she hopes to record a full-length album including her most recent songs in the next year.
