As co-lead singer of critically acclaimed Brisbane band george, Katie first found public favour when their debut, double platinum album 'Polyserena' made its grand arrival at the very top of the ARIA charts and earned them the Best New Artist ARIA Award (followed nicely by the gold-selling second top ten album, 'Unity'). Displaying her rare talent and versatility, Katie effortlessly continued the trend with her accomplished jazz trio Elixir, debuting at number 24 in the ARIA charts and staying in the top 30 for five weeks in 2003.


Katie's 2005 album - a jazz gem with Paul Grabowsky called 'Before Time Could Change Us' leapt straight into the top of the jazz charts and scored Katie her second ARIA award. Her Two of a Kind project with mother Maggie was also one of the highest selling classical releases of 2004/2005.

Katie's recent solo album 'Skin' heralded an exciting new chapter in her creative output and went Gold early 2008, after debuting at #1 on the National Australian Artist ARIA Charts.
