Katy Erin is a television writer, actor, filmmaker, and musical artist.

She was born and raised in a small town in central Texas, which perhaps contributed to her early passion for the art of escapism. After spending her formative years taking drama club and marching band much too seriously, she moved to Austin to study filmmaking at the University of Texas before graduating and relocating to Los Angeles.

Most notably, she has been a member of the writing staff for Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer for seasons two, three, and four, after appearing as Lara Elliot, AKA “The Girl in the Game,” in season one. She also stars in the indie feature Millennium Bugs, in which her performance was described in reviews as “raw, honest,” and “captivating.” Other on-screen credits include Shameless (Showtime), Wisdom of the Crowd (CBS), and the starring role of it-girl Edison in all three seasons of the cult queer comedy webseries Gal Pals. As a screenwriter and filmmaker, she has collected accolades from some of the most prestigious competitions and festivals including Launchpad, Austin Film Festival, WeScreenplay Shorts Lab, aGLIFF, Etheria, Boston SciFi, and many more. Her years of television experience include assisting in the development and production of shows for CBS, SyFy, The CW, Netflix, and Disney.

In 2023, she released her first single Monster, establishing herself as an upcoming voice in indie pop-rock through powerful vocals and poetic lyrics. The song serves as a pre-release single for her debut EP, Coffee and Cigarettes, to be released September 20th of this year.
