notes

Hello, I’m Katie Drake. I was born on June 5, 1982 in Chico, CA. When I was 7 my family moved to a farm just outside of town, and that’s where I spent the rest of my growing up years. I loved living on a farm, especially during the month of October when my family had a huge pumpkin patch. I was a daddy’s girl and I loved following my dad around on the farm, learning to drive tractor, shooting targets and fishing along the creek.

What I’ve always loved doing the most though is singing. I started singing at church when I was about 7 and loved every chance I had to sing for people. I took four years of piano lessons but never was good enough to sing along with my playing, which frustrated me. When I was in high school I learned how to play the trombone so I could go to Disneyland with the band. However, I obviously couldn’t sing along with that either.

When I was a junior in high school, my Young Life leader taught me a few lessons on the guitar and I was hooked. I quickly got good enough to sing along with my playing and I was delighted to have an instrument I could take anywhere with me and sing. I started by learning basic worship songs, and began helping lead music at Young Life clubs in high school. By the time I was a sophomore in college I was leading worship at our church.

Although I always knew I loved singing, I had never tried writing my own songs. I never really liked poetry in school, so I imagined I’d never be very good at writing songs. However one day I decided to give it a try and I wrote a simple worship song. It was an amazing feeling, and I knew then that I had found my new passion. Although I was still unconfident in my songwriting skills, I slowly started writing more. The second song I wrote was “Bless this Man”, a love song to my husband which we danced to on our wedding day. I had written the song as a surprise for Brian and I had it recorded (because I knew I’d never make it through without crying my eyes out!) and when it came on during our first dance he was shocked. I also wrote a song for my dad, which we danced to for our father daughter dance. Surprising both of them with those songs was the most special memory I have from that day.

I really feel like each song I have written has been an incredible gift from God. I’m still amazed every time I finish a song, because I know that without God’s help, I wouldn’t have written a single one. My constant prayer is that each song I write be God breathed and inspired, because if God can use me to touch people through my voice and my songs, then I never want to stop singing.

    Katie, I'm from the Chico area and my grdaughter goes to the Book Family Farm every year. You have the voice of an angel. Thank you for sharing your blessings with the rest of us. I first heard "In Your Shoes" on your Uncle Pat's website and cried during the song. The words mean alot to me and I'm sure Linda appreciated the song also. I purchased several of your CD's and am sharing them with family & friends. God has given you a very special talent. I can't wait for your next album. God Bless You & your family.

    I first heard Katie on the Parelli Savvy Club DVD (In Your Shoes). That song stuck with me and I found myself singing it all day - I think that's the mark of a really good song. It is awesome. I'm getting the CD as a gift for my friend and her fiance.
