From Star Charts to Stage Lights: The Remarkable Journey of Katie Dauson
Katie Dauson has never taken the obvious route. Before becoming a rising star in the indie rock scene, she studied physics and astronomy, worked in advertising, and even had a hand in video game design. But it wasn’t until she stepped up to the mic at an open mic night—armed with nothing but her song “Virtual Sky” and a quietly burning passion—that her path to music came into sharp focus.
Fast-forward to today, and Dauson is releasing Pure Katie, a genre-defying rock album that showcases the full spectrum of her creativity. It’s a project that started out as a concept album but morphed into something far more alive and immediate. “The songs took on a life of their own,” she says. “Now we’ve got this rock and roll thing—with a few surprises.”
The album plays like a musical autobiography—personal, bold, and refreshingly unpredictable. “Go Penny Go” channels punky energy and vintage swagger, while “When Will I Wake Up” taps into something more vulnerable and reflective. The throughline? Dauson’s fearless approach to storytelling.
Pure Katie isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s the sound of an artist discovering herself in real time. And for someone whose journey has always followed the road less traveled, this album feels like a thrilling new chapter.
