About Katie. Music is her lifelong passion for this recent Cornell grad. Born in New York City into a showbiz family (her dad, Bobby DiCicco, achieved screen popularity in the 70s and 80s and her sister is Emmy-nominated actress Jessica DiCicco), Katie began acting at six, appearing on stage at Lincoln Center, the Workhouse Theater, Ensemble Studio Theater, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, and the Blue Heron Arts Center and on MTV, Nickelodeon, NBC, and Live with Regis & Kathie Lee. As a member of the Starfish Theater Works Repertory Company and Writing Program, she had two plays produced, one at Lincoln Center. She nevertheless decided to major in Apparel Design and Fiber Science at Cornell (causing a commotion on campus with one creation, the Condom Dress) and was pursuing a promising career in fashion (most oxymoronic gig: styling a fashion shoot for Geek Magazine) when one day she underwent an epiphany that involved "a dream, a scream, and a sewing machine" (don't ask) and decided to refocus on her music. Though inspired by a multitude of musical genres, she's "fashioned" her own unique style, one that incorporates pop, R&B, and electronica. Her jazzy flow, catchy melodies, and funky dance moves have captivated a wide variety of audiences at New York night spots including Corio, Tillman's, Snitch, Fat Baby, Luke & Leroy (Le Royale), and more.
