Katrina Blackstone has been singing since she could speak and has not stopped! Whether, it was singing for friends and family, or performing on
stage, she had no doubt, what she wanted to do. “I feel more comfortable being on stage than walking down the street” proclaims the Tennessee-born
vocalist. Anyone who has witnessed her, on stage would agree. She takes the mic with ease, connects with the audience, naturally, and always delivers
a memorable show. Katrina studied vocal performance, with an emphasis on Jazz at the prestigious New School University in New York., Her professional
foundation draws from the teachings of such greats as Junior, Mance, Amir Ziv, Bobby Sanabria, and Kate Baker, to name a few. This widely eclectic,
group of teachers, along with numerous performance opportunities and unique life, experiences, has enabled her to cultivate her distinctive voice and
exceptional, stage presence. Living in NYC, Katrina started her diverse recording career with, Jazz and Soul legends Ron Carter, Brian Jackson, and Mike
Clark for the album, “Legba’s Light” in which she is featured on the song “Whisper” with Killah Priest., She has been featured on Bluetech’s albums, Love
Songs to the Source (Interchill), and Rainforest Reverberations (Critical Beats), dr Israel’s The Liberation Chronicles, (Dreadtone International), and Live at
Dub Mission SF which was recorded at our 14th Anniversary. Katrina has toured with a diverse group of musicians including, Shootyz Groove, the Primo
Gomez project, Bluetech, Satori Social, and dr Israel., With her debut 2010 EP, Passing Time, Katrina made a grand entry onto the futuristic, pop-soul
