Kat Von D became successful in several fields before finally turning to her first and true passion: music. Known for her work as a tattoo artist and makeup entrepreneur, the singer released the album Love Made Me Do It in September.
In an interview with The Wikimetal Happy Hour , Kat spoke about her success in various ventures. “I don’t know if I would call it luck. I think so, there are some coincidences that help you, but I don’t attribute any part of my success to luck because I had to work so hard for everything,” she said.
Celebrating her achievements, Kat Von D commented on the process of achieving sobriety, which marks 14 years. “I remember the day I got sober, that was the day my life changed and I became this workforce. I feel like while everyone else was out partying, I was working,” she said. “I sacrificed my family and love life – and I don’t want to play the victim or anything like that, but I want to say that it didn’t come for free.”.
This determination was also essential to starting her musical career. “When I decided to sing, I didn’t know how to sing. (…) I started taking singing lessons six days a week, two hours a day, to learn, and I’m still learning, I still want to improve,” she continued.
