artist bio
Introducing Katie Mavis, an emerging artist from the lush forests of northern British Columbia, Canada. With a sound that seamlessly melds dreamy folk acoustics, effervescent pop hooks, and intricate storytelling, Mavis has quickly established herself as a unique voice in the indie-pop songwriter space. Drawing influence from artists like Taylor Swift, Hozier, and Gracie Abrams, Mavis sets herself apart through her expansive vocabulary, diary-like honesty, and evocative lyricism that lingers in the mind of her listeners
*
Although currently based in Boston, MA, Mavis is still deeply connected to the landscapes of her pacific northwestern roots- the towering forests, misty mornings, and rustic charm of the pine trees remain ever-present in her artistry. These natural elements shape both her sonic identity and visual aesthetic, provding a rich, discernible backdrop to the intimate narratives she crafts in her music. With her sound expertly blending pop contexts with a literary-esque usage of the English language, Mavis harmonizes the simple with the smart. Her style is often referred to as "thought-pop" as it is both profound, as well as incredibly approachable and emotionally resonant.

At the heart of Mavis's writing lies a unflinching, introspective exploration of critical self-reflection, youthful yearning and trauma recovery. Showcasing her ability to fuse depth with relatability. Since 2019, she has been building her professional writing credential, contributing to various co-writing projects and collaborating with a wide network of artists. Her keen sense of narrative and affinity for language and lyricism has positioned her as a prominent voice in the Boston singer-songwriter scene.

On November 8, 2024 Mavis made a bold debut with her highly anticipated single, "lover body mother." This feisty, emotionally charged track confronts the fallout of having boundaries violated after striving to embody the idealized “chill girl” persona. With a poignant mix of vulnerability and vindictiveness, she breaks free from that mold, offering listeners a cathartic experience wrapped in a shouty, glossy, unshakeable chorus.

Stay tuned to Katie Mavis as she warmly welcomes you into her world—a vulnerable diary of clever quips,
remarkable openness, and whimsy.
