My latest find on the web, is 17 year old Katie Gavin. First she entered and won the Sara Bareilles karaoke contest, Then I watched her cover of Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” and instantly my ears shot up! Stripping the song down to acoustic, changing the arrangement, and adding her unique vocals and personality making the song her own. Now, a couple weeks later finally getting much deserved notice with over 120,000 views!
The video posted here is called “Hungry Heart”, one of Katie’s originals. As soon as I heard this song, I thought this would have been a great score for the movie 500 Days Of Summer. The song basically describes a person’s relentless pursuit for love. At 17 years old, Katie Gavin paints these vivid pictures with her lyrics that would make you think she has been writing hits in the music biz for years.You can download all of her music here for FREE! Katie definitely has potential, and you should be on the look out for her!
