I'd love to host your next party! I've performed hundreds of events. I know how to adapt to any crowd. Some crowds want a party, and some want to be left alone. Some crowds want top 40, and some want oldies. My first priority is making sure everyone has a good time!
Katie was great. She dressed in a nice Christmas dress and She listen to what I wanted at my event and provided it. She surprised me with singing my favorite song and the guest loved it.
Everyone at our party enjoyed singing along with Katie…
She was amazing! Everyone commented on how she made the party. We loved her and would hire her again.
Professional and kind.
Thank you for the great performance on our special day! The music was beautiful and the memories will never be forgotten. I appreciate the whole process of picking out what music to play and the phone call consultations to make sure everything was to our liking. I highly recommend Katie for your next event!
Katie was great! She’s an amazing singer and was a lot of fun to interact with. My friends and I had such a great time dancing and singing along.
I booked Katie hours before my event and she did an amazing job. She asked what I wanted and she delivered. I will definitely book her again!
Katie was professional, super accommodating to our needs for our conference. She was sweet, friendly, humble, communicative, overall we are so pleased with having her at our event.

Response from Katie Louise:
Erin thank you so much! I really enjoyed playing at your party!!
Katie showed up prompt and ready to GO! She had the cutest holiday outfit on topped with sparkly red heels and even a Santa hat! Katie played so well that our residents who were not attending the party were still coming down to just sit and listen to her play! Towards the end Katie even invited one of her friends who she found out coincidentally lived next-door to our community and she sang a few songs while Katie played the piano. Our residents started to sing along and everyone commented on how much fun they had the next day! We will be hiring Katie again for future events and you should too! :) Thank you Katie!!!
Katie is everything we have been looking for. From learning the music, to singing the music. She was on time and very professional. I highly Recommend her to anyone who is in need of a Singer, Piano Player, Organ Player. She is great
Response from Katie Louise:
Thank you so much! I had a great time!
In short, Katie Louise was amazing! She came to our house to help celebrate a 70th and 40th birthday. She told us this was her first 'gig' since the COVID shutdown, so she was excited to play for an audience. At her request, we had provided her in advance with a selection of songs that would appeal to the small audience, so that she could learn how to play all the songs she wasn't as familiar with. She went above and beyond and sang all the songs requested. Her voice is amazing, and her piano and guitar skills are flawless, and she helped to make the evening one that everyone present will remember for a long time. Thanks Katie Louise for a wonderful evening!
Katie Louise was absolutely Fantastic!!!! So talented and very interactive with the guests. I will hire her again.
Saw Katie a few weeks ago in Clifton Park and every song told a story. They were sung with strength and emotion. If you get an opportunity to see her, don'tSteve hesitate.

SINGING PIANIST/GUITARIST
This is my most experienced area of expertise. My most common gigs have been setting up a piano bar style setting. I'll sing songs from the 80s all the way to top 40 today. I play with tracks so you get the full experience of a live singer/pianist, but also have it sounding pretty close to the original song. (I can also play without tracks if you're looking fo a more stripped-acoustic feel). My goal has been to take as many requests as I can, so I am constantly learning new music, from all different decades. In piano bar settings, I am very experienced in reading a crowd. I can rev up a crowd and get them dancing, I can make them laugh all night, but I also know when a crowd wants to talk to their family and just have background music. I can also provide up-lighting or dance floor lighting.
I also have performed many ceremonies, if you're looking for someone to sing a love song as you walk down the aisle or propose to the love of your life. With enough notice, I can play anything you ask me to. I am also well-versed in Catholic weddings and funerals and all the mass parts.
COCKTAIL PIANIST
If you're looking for background piano, I am your girl! There's lots of ways to go with this. If you aren't picky, I throw in a mix of classical and jazz. But do you have a specific theme to your event? I can play Disney piano all night! Or a honky-tonk old folk feel? I can play Scott Joplin and other Ragtime blues for you! For specific requests, I need at least a 2 week notice.
DJ SERVICES
As a DJ, there are subtleties to making everyone happy. At my wedding, I told my DJ all the songs I love. He played all of them and my friends and I were on the dance floor all night! But, the older generation was not dancing. There weren't any songs for them. I started to get so tired I just needed a break from dancing but every song the DJ played was a blast! (to me, not to my parents and my aunts and uncles). This is why it is SO important for a DJ to rotate the dance floor! Everyone wants to have a good time, and after you've been dancing for a while you need a break! And when you need a break, it's the perfect time to cater to another generation.
Ever had a DJ that wouldn't shut up? Gosh they are so annoying. Ever had someone yell, "Everyone having a good time tonight?" and crickets? Yikes. Years ago I learned the trick to how to rev up an audience; don't ever ask a crowd to do something they don't already want to do. You need a DJ who knows how to work with all types of crowds. Some families love to dance, and some like to have conversations with family. I am in tune with how to read a crowd and give them exactly what they want.
I prioritize making your event run smoothly. I will show up early, so your guests walk in and it's set up! I also can bring small uplighting or dance floor lighting for your event, if desired.
My name is Katie. I started my love for music as a classical pianist. I studied under the best teachers my mother could find. I started piano lessons at age 10, I started accompanying my school choir my age 12, and started teaching my own piano lessons at age 14. By age 16, I had entered several piano competitions and was performing with the Empire State Youth Orchestra in several concert venues including Carnegie Hall.
As I was finding my love for music, I started to fall in love with songwriting and found my love for pop music and singing. At 18, I decided to skip college and moved out of my parents' house to pursue songwriting. After 1 year of being a barista, I was able to fully supported myself playing gigs, teaching piano lessons, and doing anything music-related that I could find.
I am now 24, have released an original album, two singles, performed hundreds of shows, and am continuing to songwrite and perform in Los Angeles, CA. Every day is a new day filled with music, learning more, and pursuing my dreams.
I come with my own PA system, mics, and instruments that are good for most restaurants and venues. All I need is power :)
I can also offer up-lighting and dance-floor lighting for any event. You are welcome to use my microphone for any announcements, toasts, etc. that are needed for your event.
These are some of the artists I sing when I play live!
