Kat Cunning Facts

1. They started learning classical ballet at the age of 3 and trained with the premier dance company Joffrey Ballet at the age of 14. Kat’s initial aspiration was to work for the American Ballet company. However, they lost interest in classical dance when their figure developed curves that made them realize that their body was not lean enough to become one of the best ballet dancers. Hence, during their undergraduate program, they focused on learning modern and contemporary dance.
2. Kat choreographed their first song at the age of 12. Around the same time, their parents got divorced and their mother came out gay. Kat, on the other hand, stayed in denial of their sexuality throughout their teens immersing themself in ballet and bible study. They came out to their family in college.

This incident also initiated the beginning of their music career.
