Because Von D’s love life is typically what the tabloids focus on, her talents and art are unfortunately frequently looked over.
As you might or might not know, 29-year-old Von D has a pretty successful makeup line with Sephora, which debuted back in 2008, and also has a much-anticipated clothing line that will be launched sometime this fall. Along with being a well-established tattoo artist and painter, she has always had a passion for music, and was actually a classically trained pianist starting at age 6.
With all of these creative qualities, Sephora made a smart choice by including Miss Von D in their 3rd official “Fashion Night Out” last night, a kickoff to New York’s Fashion Week, which included appearances from celebrities such as actress Kate Walsh and True Blood’sKristin Bauer. Musical performances from Linda Perry and Miss Kat Von D were also on the bill.
If you follow Kat Von D’s Twitter, you might have recently seen her tweets telling Twitterverse about her upcoming performance at Sephora’s Time Square, with one of her musical idols Maja Ivarsson of the Swedish band The Sounds.
On September 6, Von D excitedly tweeted:
BEYOND EXCITED! In 2 days I perform a song w Maja Ivarsson -the singer of one of my favorite bands: @TheSounds !!! At @Sephora TimeSquare!
Well the moment arrived last night for eager fans, which got to see Von D performing Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain” on the piano, alongside Ivarsson who sang a pretty good rendition of the famous song.
I remember when “November Rain” was first released in 1992, and oh my freaking goodness, what an impact that song and band made on my 12-year-old brain. From that point on, I was a lifelong GNR fan, and it formed in my mind, an eternal love for music, especially rock.
Ahhh, nostalgia.
Anyway, check out Kat and Maja performing “November Rain” below!
i’m sorry, but i’ve heard 3 years that can sing better than that. very weak
