## Life and career

[edit]

### 1985–2006: Early life

[edit]

Caillat was born in Malibu, California,[6] and grew up in Newbury Park, California. Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac's Rumours (1977), Tusk (1979), and Mirage (1982) albums. When she was an infant, her parents gave her the nickname "Coco", which she would later name her debut album.[7]

Caillat took piano lessons as a child, but lacked significant inspiration until she turned 11 years old, when she became enthralled with Lauryn Hill's performance in Sister Act 2.[8] She realized that she wanted to be a singer, and began taking vocal lessons, performing onstage for the first time in sixth grade.[9] Since then she has covered the Roberta Flack song "Killing Me Softly", which had previously been covered by Lauryn Hill, and Hill's own "Tell Him".

Caillat soon met producer Mikal Blue, who hired her to sing on techno songs used at fashion shows. Caillat began playing the acoustic guitar at age 19, and Blue helped her record her first song.[8]

She auditioned for American Idol but was rejected at the pre-audition stage and was unable to sing for the judges.[10] The second time she auditioned for the show, she sang her own original song, "Bubbly", and was rejected once again. However, Caillat expressed gratitude at the judges' decision, saying "I was shy. I was nervous. I didn't look the greatest. I wasn't ready for it yet. I was glad, when I auditioned, that they said no."[11]

The popularity of Caillat's MySpace profile led her to become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four consecutive months.[12]

### 2007–2008: Coco

[edit]

Caillat's debut album, Coco, was released on July 10, 2007, in Australia and Asia and a week later in North America. Its deluxe edition was released on September 3, 2008, in Japan and November 11, 2008, worldwide. The album was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA with shipments to U.S. retailers of 2,000,000 units.[13] The album's first single, "Bubbly", peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Pop 100. It also topped the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks and Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks charts for 19 and 14 weeks, respectively.[14] The single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on December 13, 2007, with sales of more than 2.6 million downloads in the US.[15] On November, 20, she released the Christmas song "Mistletoe" and peaked at number 75 at Billboard Hot 100. The song was the most downloaded holiday song of 2007.[16] It was also featured in the film Baby Mama.[17] The second single from Coco, "Realize", was released on January 23, 2008, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming her second Top 20 hit in the United States.[18]

"The Little Things", was released as the third single in Germany on March 7, 2008, and in United States in October 2008. The single did not chart well in the US, and was her weakest charting single from the album, peaking at number seven on US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100. She also recorded a French translated version of this song. The original music video was released only in Europe and was shot in San Francisco. Another music video for the song was shot in Hawaii and was a prequel to "Bubbly". The fourth and final single from the album in the United States was, "Somethin' Special (Beijing Olympic Mix)", released on July 29, 2008.[19] The song was included only in the deluxe edition. It was released to give support to the American athletes participating in the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, in China, and also was included on the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack.[20] Caillat also sings on "You" by Schiller and appears in the music video. She has been involved in the soundtrack of the movie Imagine That; she and Mikal Blue cover the Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun". She is also featured in Colombian singer Juanes' album La vida... es un ratico (en vivo) in the song "Hoy Me Voy". In October, the song "Midnight Bottle" was included in the soundtrack of Brazilian soap opera Três Irmãs. She also played herself in this soap opera and performed the song. Caillat provided background vocals for and co-wrote Taylor Swift's song "Breathe", on her album, Fearless.

### 2009–2012: Breakthrough and All of You

[edit]

On January 13, 2009, Caillat also released a duet with Jason Mraz, called "Lucky", on his album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.[21] Caillat's second album, Breakthrough, was released in August 2009. Most of the album was co-written by Jason Reeves and features guitarist David Becker on two tracks. Becker has worked with Caillat's father Ken.[22] Caillat had writer's block during the recording sessions, so she enlisted her friends Kara DioGuardi and Jason Reeves, and they went to Hawaii for three weeks, rented a beach house and wrote songs. Breakthrough debuted at number-one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 106,000 copies, becoming her first album to debut at the top and an improvement of the first week sales of her debut album Coco (2007), which started at number five with only 51,000 copies.[23] It was also Universal Music Group's sixth consecutive number-one album to debut at the top.[24] It was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[25] The first single, "Fallin' for You", was released on June 29, 2009. The "lilting" mid-tempo ballad "features an instantly catchy chorus and toe tapping melody," as defined by Melinda Newman of HitFix.[26] It achieved chart success in the United States, reaching number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100, her second highest-charting single and her highest debut with 118,000 first-week downloads,[27] spending fourteen weeks at number two on the Adult Pop Songs and topping the Adult Contemporary chart. Elsewhere, it reached the top-twenty in four other countries and top-forty in the remaining territories.[28]

Initially "Begin Again" and "You Got Me" were under consideration to be the album's second single,[29] however "I Never Told You" was released instead on February 16, 2010.[30] It reached number forty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and was more successful on the Adult Pop Songs, where it peaked at number three, and on the Adult Contemporary, reaching number eleven.[31][32] Caillat was recognized as BMI's songwriter of the year. In July 2010, Caillat performed "God Bless America" during the seventh inning stretch at the 2010 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. In September 2010, Caillat performed the national anthem in the season opener game of the National Football League in New Orleans and a Monday Night Football game in Chicago. In December 2010, Caillat performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway. In 2010, Caillat visited the Watkins Glen, New York shelter of Farm Sanctuary, an organization she supports.[33] Caillat's third album, All of You, was released on July 6, 2011.[34][35] The set, largely produced by Greg Wells, features one guest appearance by rapper/actor Common, who graces "Favorite Song", while her songwriting collaborators include Ryan Tedder, Toby Gad, Jason Reeves and Rick Nowels.[36] All of You debuted at number six on the US Billboard 200 with first week sales of 70,000 copies.[37] However, it managed to top the Digital Albums Chart.[38] As of June 2014 the album has sold 331,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.[39]

The album's lead single, "I Do", was released on February 7, 2011, and was a success, debuting at number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song gathered positive reviews from music critics. The second single "Brighter Than the Sun" was released on May 17, 2011, and reached number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[40] Caillat promoted the album on Today on July 12, 2011, and appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 14, 2011.[41] The song "What If" debuted at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100, due to strong digital downloads on the week of the album release.[42] Potential singles cited in the future include "Shadow" and "Before I Let You Go".[43] Fans chose the next single of the album via an online poll on Caillat's website, with "Favorite Song" receiving the most votes.[44] The song was released as the third single on May 8, 2012, peaking at number 21 on the Hot Adult Pop Songs chart.[45][46] Caillat appeared in the third episode of the cancelled NBC television series The Playboy Club as 1960s singer Lesley Gore. In the episode broadcast on October 3, 2011, Caillat sang Gore's 1963 hit, "It's My Party".[47] Cast for the part in August 2011,[48] Caillat taped her portion of the episode in Chicago.[49]

### 2012–2015: Christmas in the Sand and Gypsy Heart

[edit]

Caillat completed a Christmas album titled Christmas in the Sand that was released on October 23, 2012. The album features collaborations with Brad Paisley, Gavin DeGraw, Justin Young and Jason Reeves. She also began working on her fourth album, set to be released after her Christmas album. In mid-2012, it was announced that Universal Republic Records was going defunct; all other artists including Caillat moved from the label to Republic Records, thus reviving that label.[50] Caillat and Gavin DeGraw wrote the song "We Both Know" together for the soundtrack of the 2013 film Safe Haven.[51][52] The song was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2014 Grammys. Caillat sang the national anthem at the 3rd game of the 2013 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals on October 26, 2013. Caillat's new single, "Hold On" was released to digital retailers on November 19, 2013. The song would be released as the lead single from the new album, but for uncertain reasons wasn't included in the domestic version, included only in international release.[53] In United States the song was a non-album single.[54]

"Try" was released as the Gypsy Heart album's second single worldwide and lead single in United States on June 9, 2014. It was written by Caillat, Babyface and Jason Reeves and was produced by Babyface. Caillat says about "Try", "It's this song I've had in my head my entire life about personal insecurities, imperfections, self-confidence issue." The song hit number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August of that year and later went platinum in the USA. A lyric video was released June 10, 2014, featuring fans, as well as female celebrities such as Hoda Kotb, Miranda Lambert, Sara Bareilles, Katharine McPhee and the members of Fifth Harmony without makeup.[55] The official video shows Caillat along with other women with makeup, which they remove later on in the video.

On July 2 she released a lyric-video for "Live It Up". The official lyric-video for "Never Gonna Let You Down" was released on October 25. The fourth album, Gypsy Heart, was released only on September 30, and was produced by American record producer Babyface.[56] It features songwriting collaborations with past co-writer, Jason Reeves, as well as new co-writers and producers Max Martin, Julian Bunetta, and Johan Carlsson.[39] The album debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 for chart dated October 18, 2014,[57] with 16,000 copies sold in the first week.

During the fall of 2016, Caillat undertook an acoustic world tour for The Malibu Sessions.[65][66] The tour continued into the summer of 2017.[67] In 2017, Caillat also released her first-ever campaign with White House Black Market titled "Women to Women".

On August 12, 2020, Caillat announced on Instagram the band had broken up.

In September 2020, Caillat was featured on the Disney+ series Becoming.

### 2021–present: Return to solo career and Along the Way

[edit]

In 2021, Caillat rerecorded her vocals for her 2008 Taylor Swift collaboration, "Breathe," from Fearless (Taylor's Version).[70] The rerecording was released on April 9, 2021, along with a "meditative" lyric video.[71] Upon its release, "Breathe (Taylor's Version)" appeared on several Billboard charts.

On July 28, 2021, Caillat signed with Creative Artists Agency.[72] In September 2021, Caillat released a cover of the song, "White Christmas", which was a collaboration with country singer Brett Young.

## Artistry

[edit]

Caillat has a contralto vocal range.[83][84] According to Apple Music, Caillat is best known for offering the folk-pop genre a 21st-century sound,[85] although her music has also been described as pop soul.[86] Jill Renae Hicks of the Columbia Daily Tribune describer her music as "sunny", frequently characterized by "beachy, ray-soaked tunes filled with bouncy guitars and upbeat percussion ... fronted by the singer’s California-drawl alto".[87] Reuters found her style to be reminiscent of female musicians from the late-1970s, namely Karla Bonoff and Nicolette Larson, and considers her timbre and tone to be similar to that of Sheryl Crow.[88] She has experimented with genres such as rock, hip-hop, country, R&B, and dance music, particularly on her fifth studio album Gypsy Heart.[84] A writer for The Plain Dealer theorized that jazz influences are evident in the singer's "proclivity for pseudo-scatting".[83]

According to several publications, Caillat was arguably the first successful music artist to be discovered on MySpace.[89] Some journalists nicknamed her the "Queen of Myspace" due to her popularity on the platform.[90][91][86] Caillat considers herself a songwriter first and foremost.[92] She described songwriting as "this amazing therapy that you can do on your own, and people can relate to the songs that you write".[93] She has said she enjoys writing in bathrooms due to their echoey acoustics, which allow her to sing softer than she would otherwise.[94] She called Jason Reeves her favorite person to write with, and has frequently co-written with Kara DioGuardi, Toby Gad and Jason Mraz.[92] The singer's lyrics have discussed themes such as self-empowerment, with the writer mentioning that her lyrics "all have a level of deftness ... that goes light years beyond the typical fare of I love you, and such".[83] Reviewing a 2008 concert, a writer for Reuters called her songwriting underwhelming and generic.[88]

Caillat has spoken about suffering from stage fright earlier in her career,[95][96][97] an experience she wrote about in her song "One Fine Line".[94] She was promoted in the press as a shy "an online sensation who suffered from a fair share of stage fright".[95] Critics such as Brian Passey of The Spectrum noticed she had overcome her stage fright by 2017.[98]

## Personal life

[edit]

Caillat was in a relationship with singer Justin Young from 2009 to 2020. The two were engaged in May 2015.[99] They announced that they had ended their engagement in April 2020.[100]

In 2010, Caillat posed nude for the May issue of Allure magazine, alongside Emmanuelle Chriqui, Regina Hall, Kara DioGuardi, and Jessica Capshaw.[101]

Caillat supports various charities including Farm Sanctuary, United Service Organizations, Wish Upon A Hero, MusiCares, Earth's Call Fund, the Humane Society of the United States, and WE Charity.[102][103][104][105]
