Interview with Katrina Weidman

Growing up in haunted houses, Katrina has always had a passion for the paranormal. This passion became reality when Katrina joined the Paranormal Research Society at Penn State and began interviewing thousands of eyewitnesses about the unknown.

Weidman went on to co-host A & E’s doc series, “Paranormal State” , ‘Real Fear: The Truth Behind The Movies”, “Paranormal Lockdown” with Nick Groff, and more recently seen with Jack Osborne on “Portals to Hell “ (Discovery Channel), where Jack and Katrina teamed up to investigate the world’s most sinister and haunted locations.

Alongside Weidman’s paranormal career, she has sustained a successful music career, most recently as the lead singer songwriter of Alt Rock band Away From 30. Katrina released her debut solo project, launching with the sultry pop song “Suffer Me”, produced by Barb Morrison (Blondie, Rufus Wainwright, Franz Ferdinand ). “Suffer Me” was released in 2023.

Do you enjoy recording and production?

I do, I get nervous sometimes (I always kind of get stage fright) but I LOVE hearing the songs really come to life.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I am someone who has moments of absorption where I’m not writing and it flips to moments of producing where it’s multiple songs at once. I don’t try and fight writer’s block I lean into it.

Where was your last song recorded?

The last song I recorded was in NYC

Where was your current project recorded?

Suffer Me was recorded in Frenchtown NJ. My EP was recorded in Frenchtown NJ and NYC.

What are your ambitions as a songwriter and musician from here?

After this single is released I’ll release an EP, and after that I’d love to finish an album. When I was in high school and college I used to write a lot of instrumental pieces. I want to go back to those, tighten them up, and get them placed in film/TV.

What was the last TV series you watched on TV?

The last one I finished was Cabinet of Curiosities.

As a kid were you ever frightened of a monster under the bed or in the cupboard?

I was frightened by the ghost in my house!

Which are cooler? Dinosaurs or Dragons?

Dragons! 100% dragons!

What’s your favorite children’s story?

I have multiple! Anything from Berenstain Bears, James and the Giant Peach, Stone Soup, and Where the sidewalk ends.

If you were talking to a younger version of you, what advice would you give yourself?

Stop being so scared and stop letting people talk you out of what you want to do.
