In 2024 Katie embarked on her 50-song video series, the “Songwriter Diaries” where she explores 10+ years of unreleased material which never saw the light of day due to industry setbacks and personal circumstances. The project explores 7 eras showing her development as an independent artist who has struggled to get her work out into the world.
