Music fans all across the country gathered in their homes last night to watch the 59th Annual Grammy Award Ceremony. The show contained many tributes to legends including David Bowie, The Bee Gees, Prince and George Michael, performances by top artists, and was hosted by Carpool Karaoke’s own, James Corden.

Music is one of the most universal, unique and loved forms of art. All the Grammy nominees should be very proud of their accomplishments, either win or lose, because their art is special to so many different people who cherish their words, rhythm, and message.

She hails from a small town about 30 miles north of Albany, New York, where she began writing anything from poetry to short stories that express many of the things that she enjoys about life and love. Katherine began her writing career early in her high school education, first by writing for enjoyment, then challenging herself and entering different writing competitions. The American Library of Poetry has published Katherine in two of their book editions “Acclaimed” and “Discovered” in the years 2011 and 2013, which were two of her greatest writing accomplishments. For Katherine, writing is more than just a hobby, but more of a way to express her true self.
