This
special edition celebrates her earliest songs, remade 10+ years on as the
producer she is today
UK
Songwriter and producer Katie Nicholas returns with her long-awaited
“Chemistry” EP.
Released
on 11th July, this 4-track collection of country-pop bops and ballads are
songs the artist herself has reworked and produced, celebrating the music that
kickstarted her career.
Written
between ages 16,17,18 and 19, these are her earliest and most cherished tracks
by fans.
In
a bid to not leave them behind as she charges forward with her prolific
catalogue of music, Katie vows that this is “the record my younger self
would have dreamt of making”.
Likened
to a UK’s very own Kacey Musgraves or Dolly Parton, this Liverpool witty
songbird arrived on the British Country Music scene with a bang over a decade
ago before a long period of radio-silence. In 2025 she revisits her title-track
“Chemistry” alongside an entourage of award-winning AMA instrumentalists.
Originally, the song had become a viral hit overnight after producing a DIY
valentines music video and posting it on YouTube in 2013.

Celebrating
the history which led this prolific songwriter to premiere at the C2C London
pop-up, support The Shires and Ward Thomas at Bush Hall, “Chemistry” also
landed her a no.1 and no.3 in the UK/IRE Country Hotdisc chart…
“Everything
Katie creates is meticulously crafted” HOTVOX
The
artist’s music was later taken down from digital stores under the guidance of a
“mentor” in a bid to “start fresh” and develop as an artist. With a tumultuous
journey with labels and the music industry - her story can be found on her
prolific 50-song video-series “Songwriter Diaries” on YouTube - after her long
silence, Katie has returned and reclaimed this music: this time self-produced
and released via her independent record label, “Ladybird Records” - little but
bold.
Despite
all bumps in the road, Katie has gone on to showcase and record in Nashville as
part of Whispering Bob Harris’s ‘Under The Apple Tree’ event, starred on the
SSL Audio advert, and has performed at festivals such as Buckle & Boots
and BBC Introducing Highest Point.
Despite
little musical release online, Katie has gone on to consistently sell out live
shows supported by a wonderful and loyal community of fans - most recently
selling out her headline show at the Liverpool Philharmonic Music Room.
“Katie’s
visual skills meant the creation of her unique music videos alongside her
country cross-picking and quick-witted lyricism quickly began to turn heads.”
