Australian born singer-songwriter and touring musician with the Smashing Pumpkins, Katie Cole, shares how her emotional honesty comes from a place of determination and persistence. 

Katie is releasing her new EP, “Rivers & Roads," a love project created during the pandemic and will launch the final single along with a music video. 

In 2022, Katie did a 32-date tour with the Smashing Pumpkins and supported by Janes Addiction. She shares the excitement of playing Madison Square Garden and a sold-out performance at the Hollywood Bowl. Her grounded confidence and years of hard work are shining! 

Katie's music is dreamy and seductive. She said, "I just want to make music that makes me excited and proud, and if I'm being truthful in it that will make me really happy. If I’m not doing that, with everything I’ve sacrificed, what would be the point?”

A must listen!
