Interview with Katie Mission

Alberta Country artist KATIE MISSION discovered that she loved to sing Country music at age 6 after performing Grandpa Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days (the Judds' classic song) for her “Gido’s” 75th birthday. When she turned 15, she showcased her talents to the public by entering her first Country Vocal Spotlight competition. Her association with Global Country’s Rising Star program began a long and impressive winning streak , including back-to-back wins at the Country Vocal Spotlight and Talent Explosion. With her powerful and compelling vocals, she took home the 2005 North American Country Music Association’s International Female Entertainer and Vocalist of the Year. In January 2012, she was a nominee for Female Artist of the Year and Fan's Choice Artist of the Year at the first annual Alberta Country Music Awards. Her new album - produced by CCMA’s 2006 Producer of the Year Gil Grand and hit Nashville songwriter Anthony Smith - is about to be released. The debut single from the project is called Jumpin' Right In which Katie wrote with Patricia Conroy & Brad Stella of The Stellas.
