Thiroux carries on the hard swinging tradition of such exemplary bass masters as Ray Brown and John Clayton. Her incredible voice channels the legendary jazz singers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Anita O’Day. Thiroux’s debut album, Introducing Katie Thiroux, was released in 2015 and received international praise including “Debut Album of the Year” from The Huffington Post, All About Jazz, Jazz Journalists Association and "Top 5 Debut Records of the Year" from NPR Jazz Critics Poll.

"All she had to do was say the name "Ray Brown" and I was convinced she knew how to do her thang! Anybody who understands Ray's skills on the bass gets it QUICK, and Katie Thiroux sure knows what's up! And it doesn't hurt that she has got the toe tapping choreography down when she plays...This girl is IT! I couldn't be happier to have such a talented young bassist and singer keeping the music playing in Palazzo Versace Dubai!” – Quincy Jones
