Katrien’s singer/songwriter and country influences balance well with her passion for a good lyric and she is able to tell a story that will send any cowboy home to his family.

Katrien's style embodies that of a Caffeinated Ashley McBride, with emotional lyrics with a pop flair and a melody that is classic country. Her songs are very personal and typically are written about her day to day life. Katrien has a passion for all music and writes for a variety of styles and artists.
