Renowned multi-talented artist, Kat Von D, celebrated for her pioneering tattoos, hit TV series, bestselling books, and beauty brand dominance, is going back to her beginnings with her enthralling new track, ‘Vampire Love’ – the leading single from her upcoming album set to launch next year. The song, a collaboration with famed songwriters Shep Solomon (known for his work with Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion) and Fernando Garibay (who has worked with Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Kylie Minogue), explores the profound human yearning for unending love.
Before catapulting to prominence in the world of tattoos and cosmetics, music was Kat Von D’s initial passion, serving as her primary creative medium. Her deep-rooted appreciation for diverse musical genres shaped her artistic path. Now, her tunes, echoing the goth/synthwave vibes, have earned rave reviews from notable outlets like Billboard, Loudwire, Consequence, Flaunt Magazine, and Revolver Magazine. Following the rave reception of her first album, ‘Love Made Me Do It’ (KVD/Kartel Music Group) and the ‘Exorcisms EP’, ‘Vampire Love’ underscores her formidable presence in the music realm. Sharing insights on ‘Vampire Love’, Kat Von D says, “It’s a mood-setting goth-disco anthem about yearning for timeless love. Collaborating with the iconic Shep Solomon was a joy. The music video vision emerged during our songwriting session, and watching it materialize was surreal.”
Her musical trajectory changed gears when she trained her vocals under the esteemed Ken Tamplin, committing herself to regular voice training sessions. In 2012, she embarked on a productive partnership with GRAMMY® Award nominee Linda Perry, which saw her songwriting flourish. At her piano, Kat delved deep into her emotions, crafting resonant songs.
Even under the unrelenting public eye, music has been the focal point of Kat Von D’s life. As quoted by Music Connection, “Kat Von D is undoubtedly an artist to watch, with love being her genuine inspiration.”
