"With the online assistance of MySpace, Colbie Caillat went from aspiring musician to pop success in the blink of an eye. The California native's sound resembles a blend of Norah Jones and Jack Johnson with her laid back style and soft voice.The daughter of an audio engineer, Caillat grew up in a house in which the halls were constantly echoing the sounds of music. Her first true musical inspiration came when she was eleven years old and heard the incredible voice of Lauren Hill. She began taking vocal lessons and by a twist of fate made the acquaintance of producer Mikal Blue.With the help of Blue and Jason Reeves, Caillat went to work on material for her first album. Before completing a record, she posted several songs to her profile on MySpace and the popularity of the song ""Bubbly"" spread quickly. Before she knew it, she was being mentioned in Rolling Stone and was the hottest unsigned artist on the market. She signed with Universal Republic and released her debut album, Coco.With sweet melodies aplenty and her soft voice invoking images of California sunsets, Coco was an instant hit. The album, equipped with an easy-going feel, garnered her more fans that she could have dreamed of gaining through MySpace and solidified her as a bonafide artist to be reckoned with. The record experienced significant mainstream success throughout a number of demographics and has made Caillat an artist to keep an eye on.Fans are readily awaiting a follow-up to her much-heralded debut and it's likely that Caillat will capitalize on her new-found popularity in spreading more of the sweet-sounding music that she's become so popular for. Having a parent in the music business surely hasn't hurt her chances to become a star and she seems to be well on her way after just one release."
