About Katie Dwyer


I'm an independent singer-songwriter, music producer, and arts advocate.

Since childhood, doodling, journaling, and songwriting have been my go-to forms of creative expression, but it wasn't until the end of high school that I was comfortable enough to perform my songs. Almost a decade later, I began studying recording and music production techniques, finally giving myself the ability to release my songs from my home studio without agents or record labels.

In addition to writing and producing my own music, I am the Head Coach and Community Manager for Produce Like a Boss, board member and past president of Short Grass Arts Council, a custom songwriter, and owner of Heartbeat Kick Productions, where I offer all sorts of audio-enhancing services for others. From a young age I mistakenly concluded that music was a hobby, not a job. It took me a long time to unlearn that, and I'm now doing what it feels like I'm meant to do. A big goal of mine is to be an example for other people who may be in that same mentality. I want to be a living example that it's possible to continue living a music-centered life, or doing whatever you are passionate about, through all of life's chapters.

Lastly, I'm a mom who uses music to process this world, the ups and downs of life, and all the emotions that come with it. I hope that in sharing my songs, other people will relate, feel less alone, and maybe even access a feeling of hope that they didn't notice before.
