Check out this epic 20-questions interview by the lovely JamSphere Magazine with Katie Garibaldi, now published!

Read about Katie’s reflections on production and the musical visions she’s still pursuing, plus why she plays “by no rules when it comes to songwriting.”

You can also watch her acclaimed music video “Safe and Warm (Lullaby for Jesus)” and read more about her creative writing process:

“I never really intend for a song to be about something when I get inspired to write, but I follow the muse where it takes me. If I end up speaking about God in the song then I just let it flow and try to allow the message to come through. I believe there’s always a spiritual element to my songwriting because I let the creativity come from somewhere beyond the walls of just little old me.”
