Who Is Cat Janice? DC Musician Goes Viral Over Song She Made For Son Before Entering Hospice
Singer-songwriter Cat Janice wrote a song inspired by her son and urged her TikTok followers to watch it so he may get the money once she's gone.
Cat Janice, who is entering hospice, is giving her 7-year-old son a special way to remember her.
The 31-year-old Washington, D.C. singer was diagnosed with sarcoma, a rare malignant tumor, in 2021 and has faced a difficult struggle ever since. On January 15, she revealed that her cancer had progressed to the point where she could no longer talk and that she was now in hospice at home.
Janice co-wrote the song with her seven-year-old son, for whom she has subsequently signed the rights. Janice asked TikTok users to stream Dance You Outta My Head, a song she made for her son Loren, to leave him money when she leaves. Janice is experiencing a bittersweet period as she transitions from the local DC scene to the global stage while a tumor grows in her lungs.
On Jan. 19, Janice's birthday, she released Dance You Outta My Head, a disco-pop song with love undertones, on streaming services. Days later, she learned that the tune had placed at No. 7 on iTunes globally, No. 1 in Romania, Ireland, and the Czech Republic, and No. 12 in the United States. The proceeds from song streaming will go towards her son Loren's future. On Spotify, the song has received more than 5 million streams.
