Kitty was a clerk at Claire's in Daytona Beach.[12] She started college when she was 16[13] and signed up to attend classes at the University of Central Florida.[14]

Kitty's song "Okay Cupid" became a viral hit and was ranked number 17 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the top 50 songs of 2012.[15]
