As a singer-songwriter, my mission is to create music that speaks the truth, empowers people to stand up for what they believe in.
Thank you for generously supporting Katie Ferrara in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to empower Global Citizen in their mission to eradicate extreme poverty and create a world where everyone has an equal chance to thrive.
Who or what is your musical inspiration?
My influences range from the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, and Tracy Chapman to Regina Spektor and Kacey Musgraves-artists who blend emotional honesty with social awareness. I'm also deeply inspired by my mother, a touring musician in the 1970s who taught me that music isn't just entertainment-its a vehicle for connection and change.
How would performing at the Global Citizen Festival impact your career?
Performing at Global Citizen Festival would be an opportunity to amplify my message on a global stage. I believe music has the power to mobilize communities, shift mindsets, and heal. I'm committed to using my voice ot support causes like gender equality, mental health awareness, and creative freedom. I'd be honored to bring that purpose to the Global Citizen platform.
What would you do with $50,000?
If I received $50,000, I would use it to not only build a stronger foundation for myself as an artist, but support my artistic community. I'd put part of that money on a down payment on a home---not just for stability but to create a dedicated space where artists can collaborate, record and support one another.
