KATELANN MAREE
Miles QLD
Country

A small-town girl with a big voice and story to tell Katelann Maree is a country music singer songwriter based in Miles on the Western Downs in Queensland Australia. Katelann Maree grew up in a very musical family where it laid prominent on both sides.She discovered her own passion for writing and performing music from a young age when she was handed down her Grandad’s Guitar after he sadly passed away.

Katelann always knew that music was what she wanted to pursue, thus, as a child, she played passionately and with so much vibrancy in many of Qlds and NSWs country music festivals covering songs from the likes of Kasey Chambers, Taylor Swift and The Chicks to name a few. In her younger years she won the Telstra Road to Tamworth which gave her the determination to want to further her career and become even more recognised for her talents.

In 2020 Katelann was handpicked alongside 29 other amazing artists from around the world to take part in the renowned County Music Academy of Australia, located in Tamworth the Country Music capital of Australia. Taking part in the academy gained her the knowledge and experience she needed into the business side of the industry. Katelann describes this experience as purely invaluable.

Katelann is very passionate about inspiring other people through her music and telling stories that her fans can relate to which are elements that make her music so appealing to listen to. When she’s not composing new music or playing her ever-present guitar at home, Katelann enjoys teaching music, and gratifying her passions for fitness as a professional fitness trainer. While we’re yet to see much from Katelann Maree, we can’t go wrong by stating that her future in the country music industry is foreseeably great!
