ABOUT
Meet Katrina Burgoyne, an Australian singer-songwriter from Gunnedah, NSW. Her musical journey began at age 9, sparked by a childhood adventure living and traveling through the vast Australian outback. Driven by a dream to play guitar and sing around the campfire, she quickly progressed to writing her own songs, eventually leading her to take a one-way ticket to Nashville, USA.
Now a proud resident of Nashville, USA, moving stateside in 2017, Katrina continues to shine brightly in the country music scene. With over 70 published works and a history of hitting milestones such as four top 10 singles, 4 CMAA nominations and having a writer's share in Australian & UK top 10 charting albums, she stands as a testament to her enduring talent and unwavering dedication. Her songs, embraced by audiences across three continents and four countries, showcase the universal appeal of her music.
Katrina spent the past year (2023) in Nashville, crafting a sound that draws inspiration from her early musical passions. Here, she meticulously shaped a sound inspired by her early musical passions. Collaborating with her producer husband, Steve Kinney, they discovered a shared influence in the renowned producer Mutt Lange. Steve's love for 80's rock and Katrina's admiration for her childhood idol, Shania Twain, converged seamlessly. Together, their mission is unequivocal: to craft positive, uptempo, feel-good songs destined to resonate in stadiums. Reflecting on this transformative artistic journey, Katrina expresses, "I feel like I'm right back at the beginning but finally arrived, if that makes sense. For so long, I've chased trends and tried to anticipate what people want me to write. However, by testing all my new songs live and witnessing people smiling, singing along, and connecting with my quirks, I've become the most fulfilled artist I've ever been."
As Katrina looks toward the future, her goal remains steadfast: to leave an indelible legacy as the first Australian female artist to make a significant impact in the American country music genre over the past three decades.
