Katie Tupper

Beneath the painted hues and infinite prairie skies of Saskatoon lies a soulful, creative spirit that proves there’s much more to life on the plains than grassland and grain silos. 

Katie Tupper, a 23-year old neo-soul musician, embodies that spirit and is determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing, genre-defying artists at work within the often overlooked region.

Central to that mission is her new EP Towards the End – a sultry, glittering debut that showcases Tupper’s mastery as a musician, writer and producer. With this new music, Tupper wants to connect listeners from across genres and generations. “I want everyone to be able to find a part of my music to connect to. The lyrics that I’m finding the easiest to write at the moment are very coming of age which I think a younger crowd gravitates to. That being said, the subjects I write about can appeal to all generations.” She says.

Tupper also hopes to bring a sense of warmth to listeners. “I would like my sound to be an escape and to be a colourful moment of rest,” she says.  “I’d like the lyrics to put you in a good mood, making you feel comfortable as a person who’s constantly changing and evolving.” 

That sounds perfectly in tune with a warm summer day in the park. Why not put Katie on your must-see list!
