Katie Ferrara Releases Empowering New Single “Bloom” — A Song of Reclamation and Resilience
Award-winning singer/songwriter Katie Ferrara is proud to announce the release of her latest single, “Bloom”, a powerful anthem about breaking free from limiting roles and reclaiming one’s confidence and identity. The track is now available on all major streaming platforms.
“Bloom is a song about breaking free from the roles that others place on us and reclaiming the confidence to live life on our own terms,” says Ferrara. “For much of my life, I felt people tried to fit me into a version of myself that felt comfortable to them—whether it was the quiet friend who tagged along or someone who didn’t speak up. In my younger years I used to shrink. These days, I’m unlearning that conditioning and embracing my worth.”
Steeped in personal growth, “Bloom” is both intimate and expansive. With her signature blend of Pop, Folk, and Americana, Katie’s warm vocals and introspective lyrics reflect a transformative journey of self-discovery, freedom, and healing. Traveling and choosing environments that foster growth and positivity, Ferrara has used her life experience to fuel her creative expression—”Bloom” is the result.
Katie Ferrara’s path to success began on the streets of Los Angeles, where she performed as a busker in Burbank, Santa Monica, and local farmers markets. Her journey from street corners to international stages is a testament to her talent and tenacity. In fact, fans can still spot her image on a corner in Burbank—just search her name on Google Maps.
Now an internationally acclaimed artist, Ferrara has played festivals across South Korea, the UK, Europe, and New Zealand. As an independent artist, she has released several full-length albums including Dream Catcher (2016) and Break Free (2020)—both funded by her passionate fan base. Her music has also been featured on the Season 5 premiere of Hallmark’s Good Witch.
As a QSC and Yamaha-sponsored artist, Ferrara regularly performs at premier venues across Los Angeles. She is also known for using her platform to support causes close to her heart, including Whole Planet Foundation, Children’s Foundation of America, and Water.org.
With “Bloom,” Katie Ferrara continues to grow as both an artist and a voice of empowerment. The single invites listeners to stand tall, speak up, and live authentically—no matter the expectations of others.
A Song for Family, Love, and Life’s Beautiful Complexity
Acclaimed cellist, vocalist, and composer Hope Easton announces the release of her latest single, “3D Life,” a vibrant, funny, and deeply personal song written for her niece and goddaughter, Leylan, on the occasion of her wedding to David. The song is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Blending humor, sentimentality, and a rich musical palette, “3D Life” captures the spirit of a modern wedding anthem—with a wink. Easton draws from inside family jokes, generational wisdom, and musical traditions to craft a piece that feels as timeless as it is tailor-made.
“It’s her wedding song—with a little humor, it could easily be in Wedding Crashers,” says Easton with a smile. “It’s really about life, and how we go through everything together.”
The track reflects on family legacy—quoting the bride’s grandfather’s dry wit (“You can’t always be happy” after watching someone get married) and celebrating the bride’s connection to her talented maternal grandmother, Easton’s own mother. With loving candor, Hope jokes that Leylan is the only one of six nieces who can’t sing—but inherited all the other gifts. “In the end,” Easton says, “it’s about love. We’re all here to love one another, or we wouldn’t be here.”
“3D Life” concludes with a nod to the couple’s new shared last name, now known affectionately as “The Swifts.”
