NEWS: Katelyn Benton's music video for Impossible Love WINS the Just Plain Folks Award for BEST MUSIC VIDEO!! See the video below!
In the past, Katelyn Benton’s background in classical piano combined with exceptional songwriting and rock influence has shaped her music into something unique in a world of pop clones. The 2009 release of Broke You, a 5 song EP, proves to be no different.
Growing up between Colorado and Louisiana, Katelyn developed a wide variety of musical taste and performance experience, gigging regularly by age 12. Almost ten years ago, Katelyn’s song for Columbine High School got her noticed by Denver music producer, Bob Tyler and vocal coach Celeste Krenz. Together they released the Columbine inspired song, which eventually lead to the recording and release of Katelyn’s first full-length album “Sycamore Street” in 2001.
During Katelyn’s time at Berklee College of Music in Boston, she and her band practiced and gigged throughout Boston and New York, quickly expanding Katelyn’s reputation and fan base. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2007, Katelyn began working on Broke You, a new EP of all new original songs.
Now that Katelyn has conquered the Mountains, the South, and the East Coast, she travels to Los Angeles for the next stage of her music career to pursue new venues, new music fans, and a change of scenery to inspire new material.
Playing with the full band or on her own; Katelyn’s piano playing, singing and songwriting combined with influence from rock, jazz, zydeco, folk, and classical, creates a sound that is refreshing, original, and unforgettable.
