Katie Martí
"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)
Equal parts musician, poet, and storyteller, Katie prioritizes lyrics and has a real knack for tucking a universal truth or a familiar narrative into a simple melody that sticks. Her shows blend humour with humility as she engages with her audience through the shared experience of living.
Katie's latest release, Coquihalla, is the first single from YES, a collaborative project with Peer Pressure Song Club. The album was produced by Leon Power (City and Colour, Frazey Ford), and was recorded and engineered by Erik Nielsen (City and Colour, Blue Moon Marquee) at CBC Studio 2 Vancouver in 2024. Her debut EP, We're All Home, was FACTOR funded and the first single, Nickels and Dimes, was a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. She also co-wrote and recorded the soundtrack to Cabin Jams, a short film featured at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, Vancouver Mountain Film Festival, 5Point Festival (Colorado), and at the Nature Conservancy Leadership Summit in Washington, DC. Katie is in the process of completing her MFA in Creative Writing (Lyric/Songwriting) from her home in Mi'kma'ki, where she teaches, hosts workshops, and generally mucks about.
