About Katie

With her vivid ability to weave between airy and operatic vocals while delivering lyrics that are painted with messages of hope, it isn’t any wonder that California-based singer/songwriter/guitarist Katie Garibaldi continues to blur genre walls and have a stirring impact on listeners with each project she releases. John Apice of No Depression roots music magazine says, “There is a special place in the music industry for songs like this and Katie Garibaldi – this is Grammy Award-winning stuff.”

Katie’s strong guitar work and sincere vocal facility provide the foundation of her ethereal and memorable songs. Her songwriting tends to focus on self‐discovery and faith, and sonically her music combines the artist’s folk‐driven roots with her trademark, soulfully vibrato-smitten and sometimes operatic voice.

The Daily Country says, “Garibaldi’s light as a feather vocals exude a strength that makes you want to believe in yourself and pursue your dreams and most importantly, gives you the courage, and clarity, to be yourself, trust yourself and allow yourself to fly.”

From her pop/country excursion Next Ride Out, to the country-infused release Follow Your Heart (featuring the Magik*Magik Orchestra), to orchestral-folk collection Rooted Clarity, to her original holiday album Home Sweet Christmas, and many more releases, Katie Garibaldi delivers an effective and effortless mesmerizing musical experience rooted in gentle strength.

Guitar Player magazine praises Katie as “a gifted songwriter with a gorgeous voice,” and Music Connection magazine writes, “Garibaldi is blessed with a sweet and pure soprano, and we hear a sincerity in this artist that is real.”

Katie has released several original music albums, as she traveled through America as a performing artist for many years. Achievements include various songwriting and production accolades, as well as over 160 winning music video awards from international film festivals.

The indie artist has also been featured on Acoustic Guitar magazine's "Acoustic Guitar Sessions" with a live performance video sharing her songs and the stories behind them.

Katie’s international success with her acclaimed music videos in the film festival circuit, and her passion for music and creative expression has resulted in many successful collaborations driven by her understanding of how music can play a vital role in all forms of storytelling.

Having written and directed her own films, Katie is brilliantly positioned to understand the language of film and music, and skillfully bridges the gap of communication between the two mediums.

While continuing to release original music, Katie is also a freelance music supervisor as well as serving as the in-house music supervisor for Sum Of All Music, a production company and music library, where Katie matches filmmakers with the right composers/songwriters for their project, handles all aspects of song licensing, and advises in making sure every production gets the music it needs. 

Katie Garibaldi is active in the Guild of Music Supervisors community, and is a Women In Film and Recording Academy voting member.

Katie has also earned course certificates in both film directing and script supervision & continuity in 2021 from the Raindance intensive filmmaking programs.

In addition to recording her own music and her music supervision career, the multi-passionate creative has written and directed various short films with more new projects in pre-production (see IMDb).
