Kat DeLuna Whines Me Up

Rising pop star Kat DeLuna works the TRL wall like nobody’s business on Thursday’s TRL (taped Tuesday).

The 19-year-old bilingual sensation was born in the Bronx but raised in the Dominica Republic. She currently hails from Hoboken, New Jersey and is said to have a 5 octave vocal range, comparable to Mariah Carey.

Kat even has opera training and gave a little sample during TRL. She also performed her hit single “Whine Up.” Kat‘s debut album, 9 Lives is set for a August 7 release.
