Colbie Caillat grew up with her father as a record producer, her father Ken produced two of the most popular albums of all time. Fleetwood Mac?s Rumors and Tusks. Colbie remembers as a child Mick Fleetwood and John McVie being around her house. But it wasn?t until Colbie heard the Fugees remake of Killing Me Softly did she decide she wanted to pursue a career. She entered her 6th grade talent show and sang that very song.
Colbie has a very unique sounding voice, she is quiet in her sound and she co-writes all of her music. Most of her songs were co-written by singer song writer Jason Reeves. Colbie believes that every song has it?s place on the record. The songs they have chosen to be on her debut album called Coco all have their place on the album and she believes that if one song was taken out then the entire album would fall apart.
Some of Colbie?s musical influences are Fleetwood Mac, Lauryn Hill, Beyonce, Cindy Lauper, Keith Sweat, Al Green and John Legend just to name a few. Her band members include singer, song writer Jason Reeves, Mikal Blue who co-produced the album with her father Ken. Michael Baker, Tim Meyers and Brian Carr round out the band.
The anticipation for the release of the album is building. Colbie has had over tem million hits based on the songs that she put on her MySpace Page. She is sure to do well with the release of her debut album on July 17, 2007. Colbie is very new to the music scene, there is not much information known about her life and only lyrics come up in the search engines but if Colbie does as well as everyone expects her to then you will start to learn a lot about her. This summer she is going on tour as the opening act for the Goo Goo Dolls. She will certainly get a lot of exposure.
