Katie Leigh and the Infantry is a band made up of some friends who come from different musical backgrounds to make music because it comes from their hearts. Katie Leigh has been writing music since a very early age and performing since she could stand and hold anything resembling a microphone.
Katie Leigh is an artist who believes in the power of honest expression. In simple lyrics she is able to ask honest questions about life, love, and faith, only to reveal that she is very normal girl with strengths and weaknesses. It is clear that she is singing of her life's trials and tribulations. Katie Leigh, a true California girl, has traveled many roads and has been influenced by the steps she has taken along the way. Born into a family with a pattern of uprooting and seeking new things, Katie discovered a home wherever she had music.
When her home became San Diego and she felt like it was time to share her music, she looked to her friends to make that dream a reality. Mike Cendejas (aka. Mikemic) was an obvious choice for a band-mate with his mind-blowing mandolin skills. And when it came time to sing the lyrics she had been writing for years, she turned to her sister Ashley.
These three came together to hang out, laugh, and play music until it was clear that they were ready to take the show on the road! There would be others to come and go in the band (hence the “Infantry†in the title), but these three formed the core that is now playing as much as possible.
While the music industry may be a tough place to survive, Katie Leigh and the Infantry do it because they truly love music. Having just released a full-length album, they know that this is just the beginning and that the future holds limitless possibilities.
