The ShowBuzz’s Caitlin A. Johnson wrote the following article on Kat:
When Kat De Luna was just an infant, her father said she would become the family’s little artist.
She has more than proved him right. De Luna’s first single off her “9 Lives” album “Whine Up,” is screeching up the charts; it’s currently No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100.
De Luna was born in the Bronx but moved to Dominican Republic as a young girl before returning to the United States. Her mother was a singer and a dancer, but her father, she said, has an incredible voice. Because they were poor, they never had the opportunity to see where their talent could take them. Instead, their daughter would have to be the one to make it big.
De Luna’s destiny was sealed when at 3 years old, she cried her way into a singing competition in the Dominican Republic for ages 5 and up. She won.
Now the 19-year-old from New Jersey is eagerly anticipating the Aug. 7 release date of her album with both optimism and anxiety.
“Little nervous, I’m like ‘Oh my God, my first week,’ but I’m very, very — at the same time I’m positive that it’s gonna do well,” she told The ShowBuzz. “I did a worldly appealing album, international … I don’t care if you’re from Australia, if you’re from Africa, if you’re from South America, you’re gonna relate to this album.”
