MEET KATINA.
Hi! I’m Katina Stone-Butler.
I live near Dallas, TX with my loving husband Jamell of 23 years and our 3 young, gifted, and Black “J Boyz.” I wear a few hats as a classically trained singer/songwriter, creative, activist, podcaster, and entrepreneur. I am the founder of The Fountain, an organization committed to centering the voices of Black and other women of color via the intersection of culture, faith, and creativity.
To learn a little more about me, check out my interviews with Voyage Dallas magazine and the We Talk Different podcast.

Katina’s first major release is Black Requiem, a justice hymn and contribution to the declaration that Black lives matter. It features her son, Jamie, whose artist name is Miztick. The song progresses through four musically diverse movements, weaving genres and rhythms from Black American musical legacies to represent lament, rage, perseverance, and hope. In Katina’s words, “Black Requiem is a lament for our lives and a demand for our dignity.”
