She was the original lead singer of Jakalope. She was asked to be a part of the band when she met Dave "Rave" Ogilvie at The Warehouse Studio (recording studio owned by Bryan Adams) where she was working reception. After singing just one song, she was hired on to be the lead vocalist, as well as writing lyrics and melodies on the first two albums.

Also known for singing the opening credits theme for Degrassi: The Next Generation in season 4 and 5.

Katie later left the band in early 2007.

In 2007, Katie left Jakalope to pursue her own musical interests. She summarizes her experience with Jakalope as a time where she "grew as a songwriter, a performer, an artist, and learned many a valuable lesson". Nonetheless, she felt that it was time to follow her heart and go back to her roots.
