Dream Catcher

As a little girl, Kathryn dreamed of being a songwriter. But that desire would be dormant within her for decades until, as a grown woman, she decided to stop being scared and start being herself. With determination and a focus on purposeful fulfillment, she emerged in the music industry in 2015. Since then, she has released five KC albums. Kathryn has also released three children’s albums for her award-winning Kathryn the Grape® series. Always remaining true to herself and trusting divine timing, Kathryn’s music continues to expand with her sixth KC album, Lighthouse, releasing 8/8/2025 in stereo and Dolby Atmos immersive sound.
