BIO

With deep roots in Durham, North Carolina, southern americana artist Katie Basden grew up immersed in a home full of diverse musical influences. Her journey as a solo artist began at 15 and she moved to Nashville, TN at 18 to hone her craft. Proving to be a pivotal decision that would lead her to the biggest stage of her career, Katie emerged in front of a global audience as a Top 20 finalist on NBC’s The Voice with her coach Blake Shelton, after working with Adam Levine. 

Beyond the show, Katie Basden showcased her versatility and passion through her sophomore project, "Release the Sound." The track "Gypsy Prophet" earned recognition as the "Best Country Video Performance" in American Songwriter Magazine's 30th Anniversary Song Contest by esteemed singer-songwriters Chris Stapleton and Charlie Worsham for American Songwriter Magazine's 30th Anniversary Song Contest. Caine O’Rear, former Editor in Chief of American Songwriter, aptly described Katie's music as a captivating fusion of country, soul, rock, and blues, echoing the rich tapestry of her North Carolinian roots.

In 2020, Katie brought her music to the digital forefront with weekly virtual concerts and delved into her visual creative side. Inspired by the eerie aesthetics of American Horror Story, she self-produced a music video for her latest single "It Kills Me," embodying her spiritual journey with ghostly folklore elements.

Since then, Katie has sung on albums for the likes of Celine Dion and Iam Tongi, and is even preparing for her own set of new releases. Her upcoming tracklist is not only full of original, genre-bending songs written by a traveled female artist, but Katie's powerful voice is honest and effortless.
