Katie Stelmanis could've quite easily been an opera singer. She spent four years studying opera; she knew opera.
Then, Nine Inch Nails came along. Her opera ambitions became sidetracked by her obsession with Trent Reznor's 'Nails and Björk, and before long she'd formed a riot grrrl punk band and appeared on Fucked Up's The Chemistry of Common Life album.
Stelmanis is now the front woman of goth-pop outfit Austra; get up to speed with all things Stelmanis & Austra by following this [link] to Noisey.com.
