About Kait
At just eighteen years old, Kaitlyn DiBenedetto has already mastered each of rock-n-roll’s staple instruments: power-driven electric guitar, driving bass and hard-hitting drums. Recording under the alias “Just Kait,” this extraordinary multi-instrumentalist is also an accomplished songwriter who crafts edgy pop songs that capture all the ups and downs of being a teenager. The youthful, perpetually rebellious energy of both teenage life and rock-n-roll culture electrifies each of Kait’s performances. She simultaneously delivers memorable vocal melodies and powerful rock riffs while still streaking enthusiastically through the same intersections that made modern pop-rock so vibrant.
Kait’s rock journey began as a toddler, watching her father practice on his drum kit in their family’s spare room. By the age of five – still too small to reach the kick drum pedals – Kait began banging out booming grooves of her own and even garnered her first standing ovation from a live audience at a local New Jersey talent show. On the verge of becoming a teenager, Kait picked up the guitar and discovered a full-ranging world of music and melody ready to be explored. She began to develop her talents as a songwriter and vocalist, and rounded out her rock repertoire by picking up the bass. Kait started performing local gigs with friends, fronting bands, and honed a natural stage presence.
At the age of sixteen, Kait reached beyond her mounting New Jersey following and single-handedly caught the ear of MTV by winning a contest which had invited artists to create a new theme song for the popular reality show “Parental Control.” Kait performed every instrument on the winning track and was featured in the opening titles playing guitar and drums. Soon after, Kait hit the national stage as a featured artist on MTV’s Discover & Download in summer of 2009 followed by the release of her EP, BEING ON TV and wrapping up the year with a summer music feature on E! Networks. With that and much more under her belt Kait is ready to jump into the spotlight with her new single and music video for SICK and a 32 date national tour.
