Katie Collins

Katie Collins is a young acoustic singer-songwriter hailing from London/Essex but is currently a University student in Gloucestershire. Influenced by artists such as Newton Faulkner and Bastille, her original music is upbeat with quirky lyrics, such as [5am Alarm Clock] and the popular song that is [Singapore], one that is sure to get your foot tapping. With vocals that emphasise her accent and rhythmic guitar playing she creates a unique sound which is enough to silence a crowd and draw attention to this pint-sized musician.

Recently she’s been finding her feet as a gigging musician in Cheltenham, playing at Student Union bars, Jigsaw (high street shop) and many gigs at the popular venue that is The Frog and Fiddle, including supporting the likes of Beans on Toast. On top of these she also got the chance to do a one-off gig in January playing in Barcelona. In a recent review by a local blogger she was described as “not just a musician but a story teller”, and her performance is sure to get you singing along and your feet moving.
