Katie Ferrara is a full-time working musician and award winning singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, CA. As a performing artist, her repertoire covers folk and pop music from the 60's to present and her songwriting can be best described as " honest and authentic music" with at times, an "ethereal flair". As Buzz Music puts it, she's got a "tender approach to life that bursts from her guitar and vocal chords in a way that's both charming and reassuring". Her songwriting often covers topics related to spirituality, love, and self-empowerment.

Katie began her career with humble roots, performing on weeknights and weekends for tips as a busker on the streets of Burbank, Santa Monica, and various farmers markets all over Los Angeles.

Since then, Katie has made an international name for herself playing at street festivals all over South Korea, the UK, Europe and New Zealand. “You can tell Ferrara has spent many hours honing her craft on piers, street corners, farmer’s markets and open mics. It really would be hard to walk away from a Katie Ferrara show without a smile on your face. Ferrara’s music could very easily fit into just about any equation, and is incredibly licensable. " (Music Connection Magazine)

Recently Katie placed 5th in the 2022 Buskers World Cup in Gwangju South Korea with her song "Wolf Cry" and in 2019, won first place in an online music competition called “Musicash" with her original song called "Like a Waterfall". The contest concluded with her performing with her band at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.
