Cat Janice continued performing shows after her sarcoma diagnosis
American singer Cat Janice, who rose to fame on TikTok, died of cancer at age 31.
Janice, who released the song Dance You Outta My Head from hospice care, was diagnosed with sarcoma, a rare bone or soft tissue cancer, in March 2022.
During treatment, he revealed that he had transferred the rights to his music to his seven-year-old son Loren.
Her family said they were “eternally grateful for the outpouring of love” they had received.
“Cat saw her music go places she never expected and rests in peace knowing that she will continue to support her son through music,” they said.
“This would not have been possible without all of you.”

Janice, whose real name is Catherine Ipsan, began writing and producing music as a teenager, which she released when she was 20 years old.

Four months later, after surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, Janice was told she was cancer-free, but the disease returned to her lungs in June 2023.

“I want my last song to bring joy and fun.
“It’s everything I’ve ever wanted during my battle with cancer.”
In another video update, she told her followers that “tumors basically tripled overnight.”

He said he was leaving his songs “for my son” and encouraged his followers to download his music to help secure his financial future.
Janice, who was from Washington, D.C., spent her final weeks at home baking and making music when she felt strong enough, according to the New York Times.
Her husband, Kyle Higginbotham, said he hoped her music career would be remembered as more than a “sad story.”
“It’s not just that a girl made a song because she’s dying of cancer,” he said.
“Cat is a true artist and dedicated every minute of her life to it, until the end.”
