Life
Sketch was born in Canada.
Sketch's early musical career included singing for a brief time in an indie/new wave band called The Ewoks, and was the drummer of another band called Full Sketch.
The Organ was formed in 2001 and split up in December 2006. Through their live appearances, Sketch was discovered by the international fashion world and has since been seen in a variety of magazine spreads, including twelve pages in the UK edition of Vogue, September 2006 issue and a Marc Jacob's campaign shot by famed fashion photographer Juergen Teller.
Sketch is known for her enigmatic stage persona, which has been described as androgynous. She is also renowned for being a perfectionist; The Organ's debut album, Grab That Gun, took several years to produce.
Sketch's post-Organ musical project was entitled Mermaids.
In November, 2008, Sketch and fellow Organ member Jenny Smyth opened a restaurant/bar in Toronto called The Henhouse. It was sold in February 2012.
Katie Sketch was married in 2010 to actress/performance artist Vanessa Dunn.
Sketch and Dunn formed the feminist art rock band VAG HALEN. Fellow members include Susan Gale, Stephanie Markowitz, Aimee Bessada and Heather Kirby.

“There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study the laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a successful life knows no law.”
