GLITTER: Can you describe your sound to us?

KATELYN: My sound? I’m like an old soul, so I love some old soul. I grew up on Whitney, Christina, Mariah; that’s all my mom listened to, so I would say I’m very soulful. I love like urban, R&B music mixed with pop. So I’m a little bit of everything, you know what I mean? I would hate to pick one genre.

GLITTER: When did you know you could sing and when did you get into it and how?

KATELYN: Well, when I was little, I think I was like three-years-old, I got my first karaoke machine. I used to carry it around the house, so I love singing, but no one ever took me serious. It wasn’t until I was like in the 6th grade, I tried out for solos and my choir teacher was like “Get her some voice lessons” and my mom was like she can sing? I was like I don’t know, I didn’t even know you could get voice lessons. So um, then I just started singing. (laughter)

GLITTER: What’s been the best part of touring this summer? What’s been a couple highlights?

KATELYN: I would have to say, meeting the people. We’ve all become such a family, we’re together 24/7, and so everybody’s like brothers and sisters. And definitely seeing the country. I mean, I saw everything and some people don’t ever get to do that, so I’m very blessed.

GLITTER: Any favorite places that you were just like “Wow, this is beautiful?”

KATELYN: Colorado was beautiful. I’ve been to LA, New York, Atlanta, Philly – major cities, they’re awesome, but to really see nature was amazing!

GLITTER: Awesome! What can fans expect from you this fall or what projects do you have coming up?

KATELYN: This fall, my single’s coming out at the end of the summer called “Perfect” and then my album will be out this fall.

GLITTER: We have a self-love campaign where Cody Simpson and tons of stars have chimed in – I’m just going to video tape you on this one – if you could tell us what self-love means to you.

KATELYN: Self-love means to me believing in yourself and having confidence and being a good person, for sure. Making a difference.
