  • Bio

    Katrina Parker is a recovering Southern Baptist and small town escapee, a former North Carolina to Nashville girl now scraping her way through the Los Angeles music scene, striving to find beauty in the farthest corners and most hidden places. Welcome home lovers. Here's what some VERY nice people have said about Katrina's music... "...A smoky, show-stopper of a cabaret voice." -Tulsa Weekly "...Haunting and expressive...poignant and lovely..." -The Patriot News "…Listening to Katrina Parker's music is like taking a journey back to the vintage days of WWII. The payoff culminates in powerful songs that produce a connection with the present." –Music Connection "…A wonderfully talented new singer-songwriter…[Katrina Parker's] music, voice, songwriting, and production are stunning. Her debut CD stands alongside impressive major label debuts on all counts, and there is no reason her next effort will not exceed her first offering." –One Way Magazine "…Katrina Parker provide(s) moments of truth and grace…" -The Houston Chronicle "...Intelligent lyrics and vocal capability..." -Paste Magazine "…[Katrina Parker] sings love songs, but she sings them with realistic optimism and an adult perspective on her own emotional world, capturing the heart and spirit of the women of her generation in a way that other singer-songwriters often fail to accomplish." -Northeast In Tune Magazine "…Los Angeles based artist Katrina Parker will softly steal in and capture your deepest listening desires…" –Women Rising Music "…Arming herself with a haunting voice and cleverly penned lyrics, [Katrina] Parker writes poignant songs with vocal jazz underlinings and a determined pop exterior... –Smother Magazine "…Katrina Parker is definitely an artist worth watching." -The Music Edge .... "…Sultry and commanding and inviting without even the slightest hint of pretentiousness…" -1340 Mag "Only Dreaming is an EP that incorporates a dreamy intimacy into adult pop music… If Katrina Parker has more songs in her, [this] may be the start of something very, very big." -Phantom Tollbooth

    "There were always in me, two women at least, one woman desperate and bewildered, who felt she was drowning and another who would leap into a scene, as upon a stage, conceal her true emotions because they were weaknesses, helplessness, despair, and present to the world only a smile, an eagerness, curiosity, enthusiasm, interest." - Anais Nin
