Katie Nicholas Music

Award-winning singer songwriter, Katie Nicholas, quickly gained recognition through the filming, animating and designing of her own music videos and content while capturing audiences with her intricate lyrics and magnetic presence on stage. Her musical journey began with her first upload at the age of seventeen, a quaint home-made video made in her bedroom on Valentine’s Day. ‘Chemistry’ hit over 100,000 viral hits in a matter of days, landing her a Liverpool Music Award '13 in honour of Michael Molloy sponsored by the mayor of Liverpool, a No.1 in the UK & Irish Country Chart and 3rd in the European Chart. Following this, Katie went on to perform at the prestigious C2C Country to Country at the London O2 Arena, being featured as a pop-up act in the vicinity of artists like Lady Antebellum and Brandy Clark, with a feature in UK's best-selling country magazine, Country Music People, Americana-UK and more. During Katie’s short career in music she has already worked with and supported great artists including The Verve, Nina Nesbitt and Rizzle Kicks. In 2014, Katie wanted to help other independent artists create a buzz around their online presence and set up the community, Busy Bee (Unsigned & Self-sufficient). As a designer by occupation, she wanted to help other musicians enhance their personal branding and image, showing that you don’t need to be signed to be the Bees Knees. Here she used this community as a hub (or you could say, hive) to connect musicians with artists, photographers, videographers and more - to allow musicians take initiative and creative control without the aid of major companies. Reinforcing this idea, in 2015, Katie independently released her first album, Dizzy, on her 20th birthday. Aspiring to show that it’s possible to create a buzz while unsigned, self-sufficient and on low-budget, her successful campaign generated such an interest that her custom designed CD pre-orders sold out on first batch. Released both digitally and physically on 14th March, Dizzy received many good reviews and titles including ALBUM OF THE MONTH (Coast Radio), ARTIST OF THE MONTH (the Untapped Project) and VIDEO OF THE WEEK (4000 Miles to Nashville). As a thank you for the overwhelming support, Katie added personal gifts for each album pre-order. Award-winning songwriter who produces own music videos.
