Colbie Caillat
Twenty-two year old Colbie Caillat has struck it big in the musical arena. With a
passion for music, this young woman's instrumental career has sky
rocketed thanks to her pre-fame days on Myspace. As an 11-year-old girl,
Caillat knew she wanted to spend her life singing after hearing Lauryn
Hill's version of "Killing Me Softly." Caillat entered herself
in several talent shows and as her talent
and musical interest grew, Caillat's father, owner of a record producing
company, offered her one piece of helpful advice: those who play their
own instruments and write their own songs command respect in the music
industry.
At the age of 19, Caillat picked up the acoustic guitar and started
penning her own music. After she wrote several songs, Colbie started to
post them on Myspace, hoping to cause a chain reaction of admiration and
enthusiasm for her music. It wasn't until Caillat posted the song
"Bubbly" that started the aforementioned reaction. Because of
the simplicity and melody of the song, millions of fans were drawn to
her website to get a glimpse of this undiscovered talented artist. Four
months later, Caillat became the number one unsigned artist online. Soon
after, record deals flew her way and she eventually signed with
Universal Republic who gave her total creative freedom.
Her debut album Coco representative of a past nickname that stuck,
features similar acoustic style folk melodies with Caillat's passionate
voice shining through. With a sweet folk sound coupled with a bit of old
soul, Caillat successfully sets herself apart from other pop artists and
one hit wonders.
