At just seventeen 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 – a combination that makes comparisons to the original queen of rock, Joan
Jett, inevitable – whilst still streaking enthusiastically through the same intersections that made
Avril Lavigne's 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 singlehandedly
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. Perhaps the
only act she has left to master? Kait will soon hit the national music stage as MTV’s newest
Discover < Download artist beginning July 20th, followed by a 4-track digital EP August 11th
produced by 2N2 Productions. Her new single “Sick” will be featured on E! Networks and MTV all
summer long.
Working under the fitting alias “Just Kait,” teenage pop-punk prodigy Kaitlyn DiBenedetto
crafts radio-friendly rock-n-roll that has set her on course for musical stardom
