Cat Janice, a beloved singer who rose to prominence on the social media platform TikTok, has reportedly died at the age of 31 following her battle with an aggressive sarcoma cancer.
Sarcoma is a rare cancer that develop in the bones and soft tissues, including fat, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, deep skin tissues and fibrous tissues. There are only 15,000 cases of this disease each year in the United States.
Janice’s song, “Dance You Outta My Head,” eventually reached the Billboard charts. The song has over 2 million plays on TikTok, even reaching stars like Jason Derulo, who encouraged the singer during her battle with cancer.
The New York Times reports on her tragic death,
The singer and multi-instrumentalist, whose legal name was Catherine Ipsan, started writing music as a teenager and released it throughout her 20s. But “Dance You Outta My Head,” which she shared on social media alongside candid discussion of her grueling cancer treatments, quickly became the biggest hit of her career. Over disco-inflected guitar and exuberant strings, she sang about “dancing on the edge of disaster.”
Ms. Ipsan released the song on Jan. 19, a few days after entering hospice care. The song caught fire as her health outlook darkened, with social media users — including celebrities like Jason Derulo — leaving messages of support.

Users can still support Janice’s son, who received the rights to her most famous song, by sharing the hit across social media. One of the last things the late singer did before her death is transfer the rights of this song to her son.
News of Janice’s death has been circulated by many outlets following her death, highlighting how popular the singer really was. It’s inspiring to know that she was committed to her craft of singing and songwriting until the very end of her life.
May she rest in peace, and may God watch over her son.
