A native of Atlanta, Georgia (USA), Katelyn Rose King is a performer and conceptual artist working in the fields of theater, music, and everywhere in-between.

Although Katelyn is classically trained in percussion performance and theatrical music interpretation, she often creates her own works with other collaborators, and has embodied many differing roles in various artistic projects: directing, composing, compiling, performing, writing, and researching.

While Katelyn still loves performing as a classical contemporary percussionist, her own artistic creations delve into reflections on authorship, performance presence, vocal expressions, composed improvisation, explorations on sound atmospheres, and creation through curation. Her ongoing interests lie in the postdigital culture of music and theater, experimentation with vintage electronic enhancements to her percussive performance, and concepts of feminism in trans-/posthumanistic musical art. Teaching, pop culture musicking and contemporary classical performance are also parts of her musical identity. 

Katelyn is primarily based in German-speaking Europe while she works toward an artistic research doctoral degree, exploring the working and creation processes of co-creative new music theater productions. To complement her own personal research, Katelyn is part of a research team at the Hochschule der Künste Bern and funded by the national swiss foundation, to undergo a four year research project that surveys the independent new music theater scene in Switzerland. She is a proud single mother living in Vienna, Austria.
