Song of the Week
Katie Thompson started her music career like many other aspiring singers-songwriters: by participating in music competitions and performing at shows and fairs in her home country, New Zealand.
When in August 2008 she signed up on SellaBand (which does not exist any more), she started finding also international fans. Too impatient to wait till she reached her funding target, she released her debut album Tall Poppy in 2009. Soon after that, luck came her way when Rabobank in New Zealand decided to sponsor independent artists. For one month, Katie's devoted fans from all over the world voted for her every day and Katie won the prize, which was added to her recording budget on SellaBand. After that, she raised the remaining sum with rocket speed and, with $50,000, had to soon start songwriting for the second album.
Katie decided to record her new album in England, with the help of the well-known producer Greg Haver. Impossible was released in 2011, with Good As Gold, accompanied by a music video, as the first single. Katie got a special chance to promote her album when in November 2011 she got to open for Elton John in Dunedin.
In 2013 Katie Thompson released her live EP Moving On, recorded at Quicksand Studios.
