Baby Dee (born 1953) is best known in New York as the badly angelic, Shirley Temple obsessed, high riding cat that ruled the streets of lower Manhattan in the nineties. Her quest for adventure and little fishies led her to become the bilateral hermaphrodite of The Coney Island Side Show and The Kamikaze Freak Show in Europe.
Michael Musto calls her «a fabulous accordionist» and «ingenious harpist». Time Out calls her «the nightclub sensation». The LA Times calls her «hilariously bawdy».
She now lives in seclusion, having taken vows as a novitiate of the Little Sisters of Crabby Doom (a Cleveland based order dedicated to the care of smelly old men).
She has worked with Marc Almond, Will Oldham, Andrew W.K., Robbie Lee, Max Moston (Antony and the Johnsons), Bill Breeze (Psychic TV), John Contreras (Current 93), James Lo (Chavez), and Lia Kessel. She has also toured extensively with Current 93, playing piano and harp, and has opened a few concerts for The Dresden Dolls. Baby Dee is signed to TinAngelRecords and will be releasing her new album 'book of songs' in March 2010.
