Katie Toupin is a platinum-awarded songwriter and performer, recognized for her impactful contributions to the alt-country band Houndmouth and her subsequent successful solo career. As a co-writer and key performer in Houndmouth, Toupin notably co-wrote the international hit ‘Sedona,’ which has since amassed over 100,000,000 streams on Spotify. Following her departure from Houndmouth in 2016, Toupin immediately embarked on her solo artistic path, commencing with the release of the live EP entitled ‘Moroccan Ballroom.’ This was followed by her critically acclaimed, self-produced debut full-length album, ‘Magnetic Moves,’ released in 2019, which garnered extensive radio play across the United States. ‘Magnetic Moves’ showcased Toupin’s distinctive creative vision, with Paste Magazine commending her for displaying ‘more range and greater depth on her solo debut.’ Toupin not only wrote and arranged the album but also took on its production, recording it in Austin, Texas.
Her musical philosophy centers on authenticity and a dedication to exploring diverse sounds rather than adhering to a single genre, a principle she views as essential to her creative process. Beyond her releases and performances, Toupin actively nurtures and develops artist resources through her vibrant Patreon community, ‘Camp KT.’ She also shares her insights and experiences with a broader audience via her podcast, ‘Toupin Talks,’ solidifying her role as a multifaceted artist and advocate within the music industry.
