Katie Scullin is an award-winning singer and songwriter who has captivated audiences at festivals, listening rooms, and private parties all the way from Northern Wisconsin to the heart of Texas country. Whether performing solo or backed by her band, Katie’s sound pulls from the influences of pop, rock, and soul, tied together by her signature rhythm guitar, broad vocal range, and newly infused keys.
Katie’s work has evolved beyond songwriting and performance into a multidimensional creative practice that includes production, mentorship, and design. She is committed to building a sustainable, community-supported model for releasing music and visual work—inviting listeners behind the scenes through ongoing projects and process-driven releases. Her next single premieres January 16, with a public release date to be announced.
Katie’s work is rooted in attention to detail and an instinct for how sound and image inform one another. With a foundation in visual communications, she often draws inspiration from natural forms and quiet environments—an influence shaped by a childhood spent immersed in the woods, where long stretches without electricity encouraged observation and imagination. That early sense of stillness continues to shape both her music and visual storytelling.
While on tour Katie has opened for and/or shared billing with acts such as Jay Leno, Charlie Berens, Miles Neilsen, Gwen Sebastian, Bret Michaels, Uncle Kracker, Big Sean, Bone Thugs & Harmony, and more.
In 2019 Katie Scullin was voted Best of Madison (Wisconsin) - Gold and Best Musician/Band by the Jefferson County (Wi.) Daily Readers Poll.
In 2017 she released a full-length album called Pieces, funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. The track "Porch Hangs" reached number one on the Top 41 by WSUM/Max Ink Radio, landing her on the cover of Maximum Ink Magazine. She proceeded to take home an award for BestPop/R&B Song at the Madison Area Music Awards.
Additional accolades include Best Singer Songwriter for 105.5 Project M (2014); MAMA (Madison Area Music) award for her work with the winning techno-pop group Star Persons (2011); and Emerging Artist Series Summerfest winner with band Rivalry (2009).
Katie says her recent work teaching, and producing has led to some of her most rewarding experiences yet. She continues to write, collaborate within, and explore the ever-changing world of the music business with other artists around the U.S., while also laying the groundwork for her own production studio.
