Early life

Katja Glieson Katja Glieson YouTube

Katja Glieson was born Katja-Angelique Glieson in Melbourne, Australia. According to Beat 100, The Australian-born singer made a "difficult decision to move away from family and friends to pursue a career in music; she worked three jobs and saved every penny to make the move to Los Angeles in order to live out her dreams". Glieson talked about struggling with shyness and bullying growing up, made worse by being an overweight kid (at one point, she was at 200 pounds). Suffering more than her fair share of ridicule and bullying in elementary school she turned to music. Singing gave her a positive outlet. "I used to sing to myself to kind of feel better and fill the void of having friends. It made me feel better," Glieson said.
