Katie Amaral has always had a deep passion for music. At age seven she picked up the guitar and began playing her first live gigs at the age of twelve. Throughout her youth, she was known to be a very skilled instrumentalist and impressive performer. Determined to follow her heart, she decided to attend Berklee College of Music.

At Berklee she greatly expanded upon her artistic repertoire while studying business. Then, she took a strong interest in music technology and got a work-study job at the Berklee Learning Center computer lab as a supervisor and software tutor.

Infatuated with artistic technology, she began making music with computers and infused her guitar styles with electronics. Later, she was accepted into the Music Synthesis major to study sound design engineering. Extensive study of computers also lead her to branch out to do some non-music related work as an IT consultant and mac technical support specialist.

Her hard work and dedication certainly paid off. In 2007, she was generously awarded the Newbury Comics Music Business Scholarship for $10,000. That same year she got a job at a music software company working as a soundware engineer and marketing strategist.

In 2008 Katie graduated from Berklee College of Music with a dual degree in Music Business/Management and Music Synthesis. She continues to produce music and performs periodically, doing live sets with original music and interactive visuals.

Aside from music and technology, Katie thoroughly enjoys traveling, socializing and spending time outdoors. Her favorite activities include yoga, snowboarding, whitewater rafting, hiking and mountain biking. Overall, she is a well-rounded professional with a devotion to music and a positive outlook on life.
