about
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
