Katie Armiger’s journey truly began two years ago when she entered “Houston’s Best Country Singer” contest sponsored by Radio 93Q Country. The contest, which was held over an eight week period, had over 150 boys and girls ages 9-17 in the Junior Division who were vying for the title. After several performances Katie rose to the top to grab the title of Houston’s Best Country Singer in her division with her rendition of Martina McBride’s “Whatever You Say.”
Several months later, Katie arrived in Nashville, where she began her work in the studio with veteran producer Mark Oliverius for her demo. Over the years Oliverius has worked with the likes of Trick Pony, Joe Diffie, Sammy Kershaw, and Lorrie Morgan, among others. Having completed some of the demo tracks that now appear on her debut album it was obvious to all those around Katie that the project was special and should become something more. Thus the juggling act began. At the same time Katie was going to high school and maintaining an A average, she was listening to, writing, and rehearsing music.
“At 16 years old Katie Armiger has a lot to say,” said Oliverius. “She has a huge voice and a strength for songwriting that goes well beyond her years. I believe that she really does have what it takes to make it in this business – a strong musical talent and a passion for what she does.”
"17 In Abilene," which Katie co-wrote with fellow newcomer Ashlee Hewitt, showcases her skillful songwriting ability as well as her strong vocal talent. "17 In Abilene" is the quintessential carefree road trip song about the possibilities of an open road and is the first single off Katie’s debut self-titled album, due out this summer. “I think every teenager daydreams about getting in their car and taking off so we wanted to create a song that captured that carefree feeling in a catchy way,” said Katie. “Ashlee came up with a great groove on the guitar and the song just flowed from there. I hope listeners enjoy "17 In Abilene" as much as I enjoyed writing it.”
“‘Make Me Believe’ is my ‘chick empowerment’ song,” says Katie. “It is all about standing up and saying I cannot be your everything, so if this is not going to work out then you need to leave. It is a powerful song and I hope that is relayed to listeners.” Taking on a reverse perspective than the usual break-up song Katie and her co-writer Ashlee Hewitt, made it a song of strength where the woman finally tells the man that he needs to leave.
Katie's first album, BELIEVE is due for release in May 2008 and heralds the arrival of a distinctive vocal talent with an unforgettable array of powerful and brilliant songs. Drawing musical inspiration from some of country music’s greats like Martina McBride and Sarah Evans, this 16 year old is passionate about her music, focused on her future, and exudes the talent that’s needed to become a household name.
Playin' with Fire

With my mind, but I'm already crazy and
I feel fine
As I cross this line between wrong and right
You can't put this out like a cigarette
'Cause I'm already lit and this ain't done yet
I'll just bet you're something I won't forget
With the wind and rain crashing all around me
I'm drawn like a moth to flame
Oh and after this I won't be the same
I know you're like playing with fire but I like the burn
Momma said I should cut and run
That I'm on the wrong end of this smoking gun
I'm all wrapped up, what's done is done
I could see it coming from a mile away
I could feel the heat, but there's no escape
Burn me down, I don't do things halfway
It's like being in the eye of a hurricane
With the wind and rain crashing all around me
I'm drawn like a moth to flame
Oh and after this I won't be the same
I know you're like playing with fire but I like the burn
It's like being in the eye of a hurricane
With the wind and rain crashing all around me
I'm drawn like a moth to flame
Oh and after this I won't be the same
I know you're like playing with fire but I like the burn
I know you're like playing with fire but I like the burn
Oh I know you're like playing with fire but I like the burn
Burn for me baby, yeah
Playing with fire but I like the burn
Consume me
Playing with fire but I like the burn
In the song ‘Playing with Fire’ by Katie Armiger, the lyrics depict a complicated love relationship where the singer is drawn to someone who is likely to cause her harm but cannot resist the attraction she feels. She is warned by friends and family about the danger of being involved with this person but chooses to ignore them as she feels ‘crazy and fine’. The singer compares herself to a moth being drawn to a flame and likens the feeling to being in the eye of a hurricane. Despite the warnings, she seems to be feeling alive in this destructive love affair as the lyrics state, "Burn me down, I don't do things halfway".
The line ‘playing with fire’ denotes the danger and risk associated with being in an unpredictable relationship. The singer is aware of the consequences of being with someone who is likely to hurt her yet she continues to be with him as she enjoys the intensity of the relationship. The lyrics are a representation of the addictive nature of love and when one feels like they can't resist someone or something despite the consequences.

My friends say you're messing
With my mind, but I'm already crazy and
I feel fine
My friends are warning me that you're toying with me, but I'm already unstable and content with it.
As I cross this line between wrong and right
You can't put this out like a cigarette
'Cause I'm already lit and this ain't done yet
I'll just bet you're something I won't forget
As I venture beyond the boundary of morality, you can't extinguish this passion like a cigarette because I'm already ignited and this is far from over. I have a feeling you'll be unforgettable.
It's like being in the eye of a hurricane
With the wind and rain crashing all around me
I'm drawn like a moth to flame
Oh and after this I won't be the same
I know you're like playing with fire but I like the burn
It's a chaotic situation like in the calm center of a storm; with all the turbulence, I'm still drawn to you like a moth to a flame. I am aware that you're a dangerous game, but I revel in the scorching pain and the inevitable change it will bring me.
Momma said I should cut and run
That I'm on the wrong end of this smoking gun
I'm all wrapped up, what's done is done
I could see it coming from a mile away
I could feel the heat, but there's no escape
Burn me down, I don't do things halfway
My mother advised me to flee since I'm facing the wrong way with a dangerous weapon pointed at me. I'm already too invested, it's too late to turn back. I anticipated the damage from the beginning, and though I sensed the danger, I can't resist getting destroyed completely. I thrive in absolute commitment, even if it leads to my ruin.
Burn for me baby, yeah
Playing with fire but I like the burn
Consume me
Playing with fire but I like the burn
Suffer for me, honey. I know this is a deadly game, but I enjoy the sensation of getting consumed by it.

Were I to ‘Come Back’… ‘they would not ‘be interested’ – in My offerings for their souls.
Jesus said: The whole ‘point, of the Testimony’, my children, is to show, all of Heaven, and you both here on Earth: that were I to ‘Come Back’; were I ‘to Return’ – and ‘give people My words, ‘on a Golden Platter’; and give them, ‘the recipe for Salvation’; and give them, ‘the opportunity’, to attend ‘the Wedding Feast’ – that they, ‘would not’; that ‘they would not come’!; that ‘they would not ‘be interested’ – in My offerings for their souls.
‘The enemy’ offers them ‘this world; and ‘his kingdom’… while they forfeit their souls
‘The enemy’ offers them ‘this world; and ‘his kingdom’; and, ‘the temporary comforts of it’ – while they forfeit their souls My children. The Testimony is ‘not to be received’ by man. Why did I send you Jonah? – as ‘an example’, of ‘what is about to happen’ to people – of ‘what is to befall them’. Why, did I send you Our Mother? – and the Saints? – to give people, the opportunity, to say “yes”! – to heed ‘words of warning’, and maternal wisdom’. Why did I send ‘the unborn’? – so that people would respond and turn back to me? My children, why is ‘the mark of the beast’ coming this Christmas? – if there was still hope – for them to still be able ‘to receive the Testimony’ – before then? How can I bring about ‘the Close of this Age’, if everyone was ‘to turn back’; if everyone was to repent?
The Testimony is… ‘the formula for salvation’.
The Testimony is not so much a formality’, as it is ‘the formula for salvation’. And it has been given – in ‘this time’, where ‘no one is able to receive’ (- save the two of you), save the children. They are My Faithful Remnant – the small ones – the ones who do not ‘identify with sin’; and the ones, I have preserved – through grace. Why do you think people are murdering their children? Because they want, ‘My Graces to flow to their souls? – or they want children, to bring ‘innocence and purity’ into the World? Well then, I told you before, “This place is Sodom and Gomorrah to me, and must be destroyed” in part, and fully renewed.
“All people are chaff”
Remember, I told you, “All people are chaff”. I was ‘dropping hints’ to you ‘along the way’ as to ‘how sad it really is’. People are worse, now, than they ever were, throughout ‘all of History’ – they are ‘so much worse ‘than Roman times’. For before ‘the Fall of Rome’, phallic symbols, were worshiped and idolized; ‘the form of man’ became ‘a god’ to them; wickedness and depravity, permeated – every facet – of their society. So the Empire fell, and fell hard!
It is ‘even worse than that’
You are reaching ‘that point’ now, My children, in this day and age. But it is ‘even worse than that’, because now, there are ‘child exploitations’ – rampant throughout the World. People, enjoy ‘watching pornography’, and ‘objectifying others’ – for their own sinful lusts! ‘Adultery’ is climbing. ‘The divorce rate’ has never been this high in all of History. Sexual ‘visuals’ and ‘innuendos’ are ‘everywhere’ – and children are being ‘bombarded with them’ especially; how hard it is for them, to ‘hold on to their innocence’. Mothers and fathers are ‘hating their children’ on a regular basis – giving them over to ‘demons and illusions’ at a young age.
Why should I not come to destroy this Earth?
Why should I not come to destroy this Earth? Give Me some good reasons why I shouldn’t send My Comet – of Justice? [- silence, long silence] Why should I hold it back any longer? – as these people have ‘provoked Me to Anger’. They are ‘demigods’ in their own eyes – all of them! What, shall I do, to ‘this People on Earth’? Grant them Peace? “Peace” is for ‘people of good-will’! But these people, are ‘willing evil’! So they shall receive ‘no Peace from Me’, this Christmas.
Joy, to the World?!... they are ‘only fooling themselves’
Joy, to the World?! Our Savior is Born?! People, do not ‘sing this’, from their hearts! And why? Because they do not live, as though, I was ‘their Savior’. Because ‘sin’, I will not Bless! Their pastors may tell them I do – but I don’t!! Their pastors, may reassure them of My love, for their souls. But I hate their wickedness, and their ‘depravities’ – so blind, people of the Earth have become! Because they cannot see, ‘how much they offend me’ – because they choose ‘not to’. And they bury ‘all Truth’, with ‘false externals’. I can see through ‘many masks’. And they are ‘only fooling themselves’.
They will ‘spiral into oblivion’
So if peoples’ refusal, to ‘spread my Word’, in order to help their neighbor, and themselves... (- of course, I could ‘already foresee’ – their response – a billion years ago! And I have mine ‘ready and waiting’ this Christmas Day’). The people are going to be ‘devoured by fire’. They did not like ‘the fire of Truth’ – flowing through My Testimony. And many, are already experiencing ‘the beast state’. They think they can escape ‘My Justice’. But I am ‘reaching in to all the institutions around the World’ – that ‘the mark of the beast’ may be upon them’. For as Elijah has said to you both – they have ‘beastly natures’ – without My love to guide them. They will ‘spiral into oblivion’. They can’t go deep enough! People can still repent if they choose to.
