Colbie Caillat, 22-year-old singer/songwriter, made a name for herself with the debut album, Coco. Caillat grew up in the idyllic clime of Malibu, Calif. with music all around her. At the young age of 19, Caillat took up acoustic guitar playing and wrote her first song. After compiling a number of tracks, she put a few on MySpace, one of them being her smash hit, “Bubbly” which garnered more than ten million plays. “Bubbly” struck a chord and initiated the launch of Coco, named after a childhood nickname, which happened to stick. The songs are full of memories imbued with irresistible warmth, which draw on a rich array of influences including Norah Jones, Lauryn Hill, Bob Marley, John Mayer, Marvin Gaye and Jack Johnson.
