Alt Pop Artist Cat Janice - Fighting Cancer Through Music

Alt Pop artist, Cat Janice’s story is truly inspiring. Between her battle with Cancer and passion for music, she has been able to tell her story through an artistic lens. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, Cat’s love for music began at the ripe age of six and just kept on growing as she got involved in playing instruments and joining different musical groups. After being diagnosed with cancer, she felt like her life was completely falling apart and she began to lose focus on what she loves most, music. However, she realized that music was her outlet and decided to use it to raise awareness and express her self. Her new single, ‘Chill the fck out’ represents her way of relieving stress after her cancer diagnosis and sending the positive message of normalizing anxiety and finding ways to work through it. Besides music, Cat is involved in several nonprofits that focus on a variety of different, important causes.
