Catarina Aimee Dahms
- Actress
Cata.Pirata was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, and
started moving around as a teenager, following her social activist
filmmaker parents. She has lived in the Azores, the Netherlands, Ibiza
and later also in Argentina and in the UK (where she completed her
Masters in Visual Performance & Time-Based Arts), learning to speak
several new languages along the way. She then settled in Amsterdam,
where she developed multiple creative activities, working as a visual
artist, an editor-in-chief (for youth-literature mag Spunk), curator,
until her passion for music and performance eventually prevailed: she
dove headlong into songwriting & performing and started developing her
own unique style in her band SKIP&DIE, also directing and starring in
all their music videos.
