年22岁、来自洛杉矶的Katharine两岁时就爱哼哼唱唱，身为音乐老师的母亲在发现女儿的优秀歌唱天赋后便著手训练栽培。高中毕业后Karharine进入波士顿音乐学院求学，加强技巧的提升及对音乐敏锐度的培养。2006年参与第五届“美国偶像”选秀比赛，靠著雄厚音乐底子迷住所有观众目光累积超旺人气，初试啼声的首支单曲〈Somewhere Over The Rainbow／My Destiny〉便攻入流行单曲榜Top 12。

第五届美国偶像选秀比赛落幕后两週，Katharine便获得RCA唱片一纸合约，首张个人同名专辑《Katharine McPhee》请来Nate Hills（贾斯汀、妮莉费塔朵）、Kara DioGuardi（布兰妮、席琳狄翁）、Walter Afanasieff（玛丽亚凯莉、天命真女）、The Underdogs（克里斯小子、玛莉布莱姬）、Billy Steinberg（玛丹娜、凯莉米洛）、Babyface（唐妮布蕾斯顿、惠妮休斯顿）等黄金阵容齐力打造。带著轻快摇摆节奏蓝调之开场曲〈Love Story〉，散发淡淡Old School味觉淋上复古灵魂放克风情，衬出Katharine迎刃有馀的清柔嗓音；首波主打〈Over It〉架构在慢板节奏蓝调音符中，辅以吉他不时来回穿绕播奏，唱出一颗年轻被情感灼伤的心挥别过去、走出阴霾的勇气；Katharine认为最能展现外放野艳一面的〈Open Toes〉，强烈舞曲节奏拱出舞池辣妹们扭腰摆臀最佳配乐；敲打放克与摇滚旋律的〈Not Your Girl〉惊喜聆听Katharine多变宽广的音乐触角；感人动听的〈Each Other〉藉著层层合声交流出最为美丽的歌声风貌；由娃娃脸操刀谱写的末曲〈Everywhere I Go〉是相当具有排行榜潜力的抒情小品，十二首歌曲都是Katharine亮丽横跨等领域，展现不凡实力最佳佐证。
