Here’s more about Katie.
* She’s a Chicago-based singer-songwriter who has already released music.
* That includes a three-track EP, “Katie Kaden Loves Me” from 2017 and her 10-track debut album, “Katie Kaden,” which came out at the end of May.
* “Fire in Me,” “Take Me to the River” and “My Man” from the album are especially impressive. Check out the former below.
* She’s also part of a band called Doomerang that released a five-track rock EP, “Catch and Release,” in March.
* In addition to being a performer, she coaches aspiring artists at the School of Rock, according to her website.
* Her website also indicates she has held a Sunday night residency at The Underground Wonder Bar in Chicago’s River North.
* She grew up singing with her mother and sisters in church and counts Carol King, Billie Holliday and Gladys Knight among her early influences.
* On Instagram, she writes of growing confidence in herself as a performer. “I’ve doubted myself, thinking if this is the right path for me. I’ve held myself back from opportunities. I’m simply my own worst enemy. Now I look at myself in the mirror and say I’m strong, I’m smart, I’m talented and I’m as sexy as I’ve ever been. No one can tell me different anymore.”

I would love to hear Kate sing a song by Phyllis Hyman living all alone
Katie,
Your voice is so unreal… The pairing of you and Charity was awesome… Charity is great and is so talented in her own right, that being said and not to take anything away from her in any way she just seemed to have to really work hard and strain herself and voice for that performance trying to keep up with you…
In my book you have cemented yourself the WINNER of season 17 no matter what happens… Not only are you the powerhouse we have been waiting years for but your God given gift allows you to truly enjoy yourself, connect with the aduance in house and at home while making it all look so easy
to deliver flawless performances… Personally I would Love to hear you take on Janis Joplin’s “Too Hard to Handle” but that is just me…
Your Life Has Now Been Changed Forever and You Deserve It…
Best wishes and the best of luck… I am anticipating your first live tour… God Bless and Keep the Faith…
Wow Wow !! You are the Best ! You are a Super Star! I would buy a ticket today !
Is this lady doesn’t make it to the finals I’ll stop watching The voice
Among a field of very talented performers, you give me chills as soon as you open your mouth. You are my favorite and not just because of your awesome voice, but also because of the person behind the voice. You are amazing.
I would love to hear Katie sing, “His Eye is on the Sparrow”. I know her rendition would be amazing.
l really think she is over-rated. I don’t find anything special about her or her voice at all.
AMAZING !!!! WOW YOU A SEXY POWER HOUSE. I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIOCE AND STYLE. THANK YOU LAUREL
I kept trying to figure out who Katie reminded me of. Well the light just went on. Kate Smith. So good.
Please do a Grace Slick song!!!!
You are just a great person to watch and listen to. I would love to hear you sing “How Great Thou Art.”
Katie, I hope you win The Voice. Sometimes I can imagine you doing songs by Elton John. Probably because of all your fancy glasses. No matter what happens, you are one talented woman and you will have an awesome career. Terry Olin
Hi, wondered if your glasses are prescription??
Love, love, love this lady. She is so talented. I would definitely buy her music. Aretha Franklin reincarnated. She does a mean Janis Joplin as well.
Hello Katie, Your voice is like one of the seven wonders of the world.
Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin are smiling from heaven. You made them so proud. And you single handedly cured my depression.
