Born on May 16, 1958, Gitane Demone is best known for her contributions to the gloomy rock group Pompeii 99 which subsequently merged with cult death rock group Christian Death. Besides the obvious influences of punk and gothic rock, her vocal work is also inspired by jazz, particularly singer Billie Holiday. Her visual appearance was marked by bold presentations of S&M and fetish aesthetics, which also featured in her lyrics and music, e.g. on 'Demonix', a project she realised in collaboration with Mark Ickx of Dutch group A Split Second.
After her involvement in Christian Death, Gitane produced several solo works, including the albums 'Am I Wrong?' and 'Dream Home Heartache' (with former bandmate and Christian Death founder Rozz Williams), as well as collaborations with deathrockers Dreadful Shadows and experimental noise outfit +DOG+.
