MySpace a place for friends

Hi! I'm Kaitee. I write songs and play a pink
5-string electric violin. I also play piano, viola,
and a little bass & guitar. I was born & raised
in a little town in upstate New York called
Loudonville, but I've also lived in Nashville,
London, Los Angeles, Vegas, & New York City.
I've traveled all over the world.

I've had a lot of crazy, not-so-normal
experiences; some good, some bad, and some
that people might not even believe are true.
I started writing songs in 2005 after randomly
meeting Matthew Bellamy of Muse at an LA
nightclub. I continued writing songs because
it's the only place I can be 100% honest.

Most of my songs start as poetry and come
from a sad, lonely place. But I find that there's
beauty in all types of emotion - especially the
extreme ones. I tend to gravitate toward
situations that induce intense emotional
responses. The highs and lows seem to be a
natural part of my brain chemistry. So I ride
them like waves. A fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants
go-with-the-flow type of girl, the soaring and
crashing are a part of my daily existence. So
I welcome it. I don't think I could survive any
other way.

At times I feel confined in a world with too
many human-made rules. I break a lot of
these rules. I take a lot of risks. I make
decisions based purely on my gut. I test a lot
of boundaries - in friendships, in love, in life,
in thought, mostly in an attempt to find what's
real (but sometimes just for a laugh). And in the
end, all these experiences, in one way or
another, become the ingredients of songs.
Sometimes there's just no better way (for me) to
express things.
