Her voice is sweet!

About Me

Katie Murphys mellifluous pop with shades of roots and soul has struck a chord with her growing audience. Returned to her Winnipeg roots, Katie released her anticipated solo debut, A Nest in a Box in February 2006 to adoring reviews;"the quality of the voice and its spirit make it worthwhile." The Uniter. “Lucky for us, she’s decided to stay, so we’ll get to hear the breezy vocalist do these charming songs live.” The Winnipeg SunWhen living in Toronto in 2004, Katie's collaboration with CKLN radio host/producers earned her song number 1 on CBC Galaxie Radio top 10 Canadian spins.Currently, Katie busily continues to promote her debut, while raising her 2 daughters with her husband (Winnipeg's rock darling Sean Brown) and pursuing her French degree. If that is not enough, she is hatching a second album due in 2008.

Influences: I've been thinking of my early influences - how lucky I was that we had 8-tracks when I was little!! At three years old, my chubby little fingers could manage to pop in the Blondie so I could rock out. And vinyl!!! I spent hours and hours lying on the living room floor listening to and staring at John Lennon and Leon Redbone and the beautiful 'lady' in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the (then beautiful) fold-out Michael Jackson and Olivia Newton-John (I paid homage to this photo on the back cover of my record). And then I discovered Prince..... I became his devoted subject until I was about 18. I am incessantly inspired by everyone I know who continues to make music. Thank you for bringing it into my life!these days - Joni Mitchell, de Beauvoir and whatever I call it it will be cheesy - my truth, my creative well however you want to describe listening to yourself.
