Katie Rox

Katie Rox is quickly becoming one of Canada's most noticed new singer/songwriters. After international success and two albums as the lead singer of the industrial-rock band Jakalope, Katie has taken her experience writing on the band's award-nominated lyrics and melodies into softer, more personal songs. Born and raised a farm girl on the prairies of Alberta, Katie has always had a country sensibility and this is where her music is truly finding its clearest voice.
Her latest solo albums "High Standards" and "Searchlight" have seen her complete two cross-Canada tours, including her third annual appearance at both the Telus World Ski Festival and a return performance to the legendary Calgary Stampede. Most recently, Katie and Simple Plan's Sebastien Lefebvre realized their long-standing goal of working together, resulting in the release of a holiday EP titled "Christmas Etc." On her own, Katie has been working her latest material, including completion on new songs for both an independent feature film and television pilot to go alongside previous placements in "Degrassi", "Lost Girl" and "Bon Cop, Bad Cop".
From Juno nominated rock star with a top-three track on the Japanese pop charts to her profile on MTV's "Cribs", from international tours to multiple Much Music Video nominations, Katie has enjoyed success in the fast lane. Now, the country girl with soul has something new to share. And judging from the response of critics and fans alike, it seems Katie Rox has found the perfect fit.
