Who’s the real Chica Bomb?

That’s what club-goers and dance music junkies wanted to know when Katie DiCicco’s voice dominated the dance charts in the #1 hit song “Chica Bomb”, with European sensation Dan Balan. The scantily clad music video, directed by the legendary Hype Williams, went viral with over 40M views on YouTube, and the rest is history in the making. Their follow up single, “Justify Sex”, also charted #1.

Music, though a lifelong passion (she had a band called Under the Sink while in middle school), is actually a third career for this recent Cornell grad.  Born in New York City into a showbiz family, Katie began acting at six, appearing on stage at Lincoln Center, the Workhouse Theater, Ensemble Studio Theater, Nuyorican Poets Café, and the Blue Heron Arts Center and on MTV, Nickelodeon, NBC, and Live with Regis & Kathy Lee. As a member of the Starfish Theater Works Repertory Company and Writing Program, she had two plays produced, one at Lincoln Center.

She nevertheless decided to major in Apparel Design and Fiber Science at Cornell (causing a commotion on campus with one creation, the Condom Dress) and was pursuing a promising career in fashion when one day she underwent an epiphany that involved “a dream, a scream, and a sewing machine” (don’t ask) and decided to refocus on her music.

Though inspired by a multitude of musical genres, she’s “fashioned” her own unique style, one that incorporates pop, R&B, and electronica.  Her sultry tone, jazzy flow, and catchy melodies have captivated a wide variety of audiences.

With her newest venture, a marketing, branding and promotions company called Pinky Up Productions, Katie’s snagging all of her talents, and restyling herself once again, this time as a singing-dancing-songwriting-acting-designing-producing powerhouse!
