Tapestry Promotions are proud to present:Kat Von D – EU / UK Tour 2025 – with Special Guests: PRAYERS
Long before the history-making tattoos, ubiquitous television shows, best-selling books, and influential
beauty empire, Kat Von D sat down at a piano for nearly two hours a day and played. In essence, music
became her first creative language and most trusted outlet. Classical training and a deep appreciation for
music of all genres essentially underscored her life. This passion was funneled into her long-awaited
full-length debut album, 2021’s Love Made Me Do It. A pastiche of shapeshifting analog synths,
post-punk dreamscapes, gothic hues, and shy pop magnetism, her debut echoes the eternal will of the
perennially brokenhearted to love until death. It also fulfilled a lifelong ambition.
Later, in 2021, Kat Von D unveiled her follow-up effort, the Exorcisms EP , featuring the “Exorcism” single
and remix with Gunship, one of the world’s top synthwave artists. Soon after, she dropped an incredible
cover of The Cure’s iconic hit “Lovesong,” which was recorded in Spanish. In late 2024, Kat released hernew album ‘My Side Of The Mountain”, which includes the singles, “Truth In Reverse” “Dead” and “Por Ti”.
For 2025, Kat is putting the final touches on new music and preparing for a busy year of touring and
high profile music festivals.
“More than any other medium, music has always been at the core of who I am, even before drawing
and tattooing,” she exclaims.
“I’ve never pursued it publicly until now—which will hopefully be a pleasant surprise.”
Born in Montemorelos, Mexico, and growing up in the Inland Empire of Southern California, Kat honed
her chops on the piano at just five years old. Her grandmother, now 98 years old, presided over
marathon practice sessions daily while Mom ran a timer. Between the tears and resentment, Kat learned
how to read music as she became fascinated with Mozart and her favorite, Beethoven. This continued
until high school when she left home.
Kat Von D studied voice under Ken Tamplin six days per week, strengthening her vocals and overall
songwriting abilities leading up to her public unveiling as a singer/songwriter/producer. As a lifelong
learner, she sought additional musical guidance from GRAMMY® Award-nominated legend Linda Perry,
whom she studied with in sessions leading up to her debut album. Kat has continued to write
independently, sitting at the piano and summoning songs from raw emotion and daily inspiration from
her family, faith, and the awe-inspiring environment surrounding her home in Indiana.
