About Me


I'M ON CDBABY. TEEHEE!
or PLAY ME ON YOUR IPOD?
"Kat DiSimone is the perfect remedy for your Sunday night hangover."
- The Rolling Stone
Just kidding. The Rolling Stone never wrote that. The Rolling Stone hasn't even heard of me, and I've reached the realization that they never will. That's okay. The intent behind all of this was to claim an identity. That was when I was 19. I am now 25 and though I don't really feel like I've been able to successfully define myself, I understand the many kids who struggle to do just that. For all of the "outcasts", the "losers", the kids that everyone calls weird: you aren't alone. I wrote these songs because I got labeled, and the labels were wrong. If your voice gets taken away, come up with whatever solution you can to get it back. Mine was talking to a piano in the basement. Afterwards, I went to New York City and back again, trying to get people to care, listening to musicians who kept repeating that I had to "sell myself". I felt like such a pansy asking for attention that finally, I dropped it and let one thing stand:

I am a basement musician.

Its not like I needed to be humbled anymore, but okay, Ill take it.

You know what's almost pathetic? Rambling about the sorrow that is celebrities, when someone who was REALLY busting her ass to change the world got killed for it. I think I feel a little more stupid n...

Response to John Mayers recent blog entry on the word Douchebag

In a blatantly "I'm going to analyze people's insults of me in order to invalidate them" tone, John Mayer recently wrote a well-contrived blog using his well-practiced, overdone sense of sarcasm. Brav...

No, Virginia, there isnt a Santa Clause. Why don't you take the role?

Just saying. All these movies out about kids believing in Santa like the tragedy we all mourn is children losing their imagination. That's not a tragedy so much as the reality. You shouldn't be worryi...
