Katie Quick Singer Guitarist from Chicago, IL

Katie Quick (she/her) is an award-winning singer/songwriter and on-stage storyteller based in Chicago. Crossing genres of acoustic, folk, pop, rock and country, she is a melting pot of extraordinary talent and genuine likability. With the songwriting prowess of Taylor Swift and the crystal clear vocals of Sara Bareilles, infused with the soul of Norah Jones and the courage of Alanis Morissette, Katie Quick is easy to love yet hard to define (and she likes it that way). Katie spent the early part of her career as a self-made independent artist in Nashville. She is the writer and producer of three, award-winning, full-length studio albums and an EP, and has appeared on numerous television and radio stations across the globe, including ABC’s Katie Couric Show with the legendary Clive Davis. Famously known for discovering and cultivating such legendary artists as Whitney Houston, Clive Davis celebrated Katie live on national television. “You radiate,” he said. “You’re a natural performer and I applaud what you are doing.” (And we couldn’t agree more.) Katie made her Broadway debut in Rock of Ages and is winner of such prestigious awards as The John Lennon Songwriting Competition for her song "The Exit'' which gives hope to LGBTQ+ youth and Album of the Year nomination in the Independent Music Awards for her self-produced sophomore album, Valley Between Love. Katie is also the founder of the Five Fingertips, a motivational live concert experience rooted in social-emotional learning, inspiring kids and teens to find their passion and follow their dreams. Since 2011, Fingertips has inspired nearly half a million students and teachers across the country. Katie is available to perform as a solo, duo/trio or with a full band.
