Biography |
Colbie Caillat is an American pop singer-songwriter and
guitarist from Malibu, California. Her father, Ken Caillat,
co-produced Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Tusk albums; Caillat
recalls being around the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John
McVie as a child.
The popularity of Caillat's MySpace profile led her to
become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four
months. Her popularity on the social network was partially
due to her song "Bubbly," and the songs on her profile have
been played more than forty-two million times (as of May 31,
2008). For the week of July 17, 2007, "Bubbly" was featured
on the iTunes Store as the free "Single of the Week". The
promotion coincided with the release of Coco, her debut
studio album. Caillat was also spotlighted by Rhapsody
during the 2007 Black Friday Sale at Best Buy.
According to her MySpace profile, Caillat was first inspired
to start singing at age 11 when she first heard the Fugees'
1996 version of the song "Killing Me Softly", made famous by
Roberta Flack in 1973. Her MySpace profile also states that,
though trained at piano from an early age, Caillat did not
begin playing guitar until age nineteen.
In May 2008, Caillat recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, called
"Lucky," on his album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.
The same month, Caillat recorded a cover of the song "Kiss
the Girl" from The Little Mermaid for Disney's DisneyMania
vol. 6 CD.
Caillat is currently shooting another music video in Hawaii
for her song "The Little Things." |
