When Shania Twain’s biggest fan grows up and becomes a country artist, you get Katrina Burgoyne.

Originally from small-town Australia, Katrina landed in the USA nine years ago with three suitcases, a guitar, and just enough money to buy a salvaged-title car. Now based in Nashville, she’s building a family, a home, and a life in music — proof that the American Dream is still alive.

After nearly two decades of making a full-time living playing cover gigs, Katrina made a deliberate shift toward her own original music, blending her fearless onstage personality with songs that speak directly to women’s experiences. Over the last five years, she’s been road-testing new material across Tennessee and Kentucky, gradually transforming bar sets into original shows and building a loyal fanbase one singalong at a time.

That momentum exploded online in 2026 when Katrina began making waves on TikTok, carving out a lane by saying the things women in country music aren’t always allowed to say — adding spice to her lyrics and writing songs that unapologetically represent women. Her unreleased track “Back Up” went viral, racking up 3.8 million views and introducing her voice to a global audience practically overnight.

Katrina is a 4x CMAA (Country Music Association of Australia) Golden Guitar nominee. Her songs have been recorded by Australian stars Amber Lawrence and Travis Collins, Scottish country favorite Lisa McHugh, and American country legend Lorrie Morgan.
