Katie Costello

来自美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的金发姑娘Katie Costello
 
Katie started writing music at the age of 13 when she learned her first piano chord and has not stopped for a moment since. She began her performance career playing an extensive catalogue of original songs in the school library, during her snack break in the school drama room, and after school at an assisted living home. At 16 she started playing at various venues around Los Angeles and along the Sunset Strip, and with her usual precocious sophistication managed to talk her parents into getting her a fake ID so she wouldn’t have to be thrown out after playing her set. The day after her eighteenth birthday she was on a plane to New York City, where she would finish her last year of high school online and continue pursuing her dreams. The now 22 year old songstress has released two full-length albums “Kaleidoscope Machine” (2008), “Lamplight” (2011), and three 5-song EPs, “The City In Me” (2010), “Follow Your Every Beat” (2012), and &Impossible Things& (2012).
 
The self-proclaimed “song-doodler,” interweb philosopher, absurdist, and music farmer very fittingly describes her music with a word she’s also made up: Kitsch-Edge… A fusion of kitschy and edgy. She now lives in Brooklyn, New York where she is attempting to live the dream, finding unique creative expression in everything she does. She believes the world is her oyster.
 
Katie's songs have been featured on the TV shows, “90210,” “One Tree Hill,” “Private Practice,” “Switched At Birth,” and many more. Katie’s music has been on KCRW (89.9 Santa Monica) “Morning Becomes Eclectic” and was chosen as their “KCRW Top Tune of the Day” free iTunes download. All of Katie’s music has been featured on iTunes in various capacities. Her song “Isn’t It Lovely” was the grand-prize winner of Sennheiser’s “My Song Contest.” Paste Magazine has featured her song “Inside Out” in their “New Music Sampler,” as well as Katie’s latest album “Lamplight” in their “Best Of What’s Next” piece. Katie’s music has been featured in Teen Vogue, Marie Claire, Blackbook Magazine, and on Vogue.com.
 
Katie is currently working on her third full-length album and it's going to be SO GOOD.
