"When Katie Martí makes music, every ear in the room perks up. Her songs are stripped down and every word, every lyric, is essential. You feel what she feels, you see what she sees. She takes you on a journey and you re-emerge all the better for it."

(Nicole Gagnon, Sofar Sounds)

Katie finds stages in the most ordinary of places: a cafe, a backyard, a living room near you. Her live shows blend humour with humility as she engages with her audience through storytelling and simple, honest music.

Katie's latest single, Not A Love Song, was released to critical acclaim in 2017 and marks a moody departure from her roots. Or maybe it's a strengthening, as she digs deeper than she has before, tapping into a sound that echoes early influences like Margot Timmins, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant and Rose Cousins. But while she gives a sonic nod to her past, she also looks squarely to a future bright with promise. She is currently working on a new EP set for release in 2021, and can't wait to share it with you. In the meantime, snuggle up and stay tuned...
