notes
Born and raised in Milwaukee, Katy Pfaffl grew up as a classical musician. She began studying Suzuki violin at age 6, piano at age 12 and by the age of 13 she was competing as a serious classical pianist throughout the Midwest. By the time college came around, she had taken a strong interest in composition for orchestra and choir, in addition to becoming a Downbeat Award winning jazz vocalist. Katy attended the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music for two years and then moved to New York to begin her life dream of becoming a professional performer.
She took her first steps by working all over Manhattan as a singer/pianist/violinist performing regularly with the band SWIM, all the while earning a reputation locally as the therapeutic voice teacher and vocal coach she is to this day. Striving for musical freedom and in search of her own voice, she taught herself the guitar which began her journey into the local singer/songwriter scene.
It has only been 2 and half years since Katy began performing her music in New York, and within that time, she has proven to be a shining, confident performer who sings and feels each story as if it was the first time ever told. Although she was an unknown solo singer/songwriter to start, she quickly made her way into the New York scene and her performances began to attract amazingly talented musicians throughout the East Coast. It was her true devotion and musical unity with these close friends/musicians that brought her debut album to life in less than a month.
Self sufficient from the age of 18, Katy Pfaffl has been working hard to follow her dreams and goals toward sharing her music with the world. Her strength and conviction along with her passion is what fuels her and ignites the fire that burns within her band-mates as well as her fans. Defying all odds and obstacles, Katy achieves musical feats with the greatest of ease, as each instrument becomes her voice, and her voice becomes each instrument. Her youth and beauty are only additions to her immense talent and musicianship which is impossible to ignore.
Truth, hope and trust create the core of Katy Pfaffl and her music, and it is that core which touches the heart of every listener and everyone she meets. By existing without boundaries, she is quickly expanding and becoming a new voice and inspiration for the young female artists of today.

Awsome, soul-touching lyrics and a vocal range that's phenomenal!
author: Robin CastaniaWhat an outstanding mix of styles and soul-touching lyrics all rolled into one unbelievable CD!! Not only does Katy have a tremendous vocal range, but the power within that range is such that has not been heard in a very long time!!
The next Norah Jones?
author: Johnny BlantonVery original. It's like an eclectic compilation of different styles all rolled up into one. Could Katy Pfaffl be the next Norah Jones or Dana Glover. Look out Telluride here she comes.

Truth Passion Determination Real music
author: Eddie KamenitzerSOLID REPRESENTATION OF THE REAL THING, THIS CD IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF TRUE MUSICIANSHIP - NO GLITTER - JUST REAL MUSIC. KATY is able to present her powerfully chillin' voice as she does when she is playing in a small venue. This reviewer gives it a solid 8 hands (in a 1-10 hand rating). Katy is absolutly stunning...something the music industry hasn't done...stunning.
Too funky for folk, too smart for pop, too smooth for rock!
author: DeanWhen you listen to Katy Pfaffl's self titled CD, you will hear accomplished guitar work, rhythmic and intense percussion, and a voice that has the perfect elemental blend of trumpet and flute. It's filled with knowing lyrics, told with the spaciousness and beauty of a wide-open field of blossoms! There is a yearning sound, especially heard on "So Far Away." There is a joyful sound as in "My Favorite Place." There is a magnificent sound, as heard on every one of the eleven tracks. A breathtaking album that will astonish you. Brilliant.

Finally a cd that gives female musicians the justice they deserve! Katy has put together such a personal moving cd that is more than music but a journey sung by the voice of an angel. My Favorite Place and Walk Away are two of the most powerful songs and the rest of the cd is not far behind. BUY THIS CD, you won't be dissapointed

Katy's music shakes me, wakes me, wiggles me, transends me, and grounds me. A perfect, sensual, hip, and honest cd.
Start to finish, this CD is amazing
