Katie Schecter

BIOGRAPHY

Katie Schecter, born and raised in New York City and currently based in Nashville, defies the limitations of any single genre with her distinctive musical fusion. With the upcoming release of her highly anticipated third studio album Empress, Schecter envisioned creating “one unified listening experience in a time of consistent polarity. I wanted to focus on what we all share as human beings – that we all dream, love, fear, have control, and lose it entirely.” While imagining Doris Troy, John Lennon, Amy Winehouse and Bill Withers all collaborating on an album at The Black Ark, Schecter describes her new record as “dubbed-out Supremes.”

Recorded at The Diamond Mine in NYC while pregnant with her daughter Only, Empress is a testament to Schecter's evolution as an artist while stepping into her divine feminine power as a mother. Produced by her husband Nick Bockrath, the album features the powerhouse rhythm section of Nick Movshon and Homer Steinweiss, with additional contributions from Russ Pahl on pedal steel and Leon Michels on piano, informing the record’s soulful core temperature.

Katie Schecter's journey as a solo artist began with a self-titled EP in 2017, followed by her second full-length release Bad For Business in 2020, solidifying her place on the map as a boundary-pushing musician. Recent career highlights include performing at a sold-out show opening for Beck in Nashville while 8 months pregnant and opening for The Zombies at SXSW Bloody Mary Morning in 2023. Additionally, her vocal talents are featured on Cage the Elephant’s most recent Grammy nominated album Neon Pill as well as the 2020 Best Rock Album winner Social Cues.
