Early life

Katja Glieson was born Katja-Angelique Glieson in Melbourne, Australia by German immigrants.

She suffered more than her fair share of ridicule and bullying in elementary school and finally she turned to music. Singing gave her a positive outlet. "I used to sing to myself to kind of feel better and fill the void of having friends. It made me feel better," Glieson said.[9]
