Kimberly Caldwell - Singer, 'American Idol' (Vanguard Capitol Records)

Kimberly Caldwell is an independent Southern gal from a small town in Texas who has made her own way to where she is today. The songstress, who finished in the top seven in the second season of American Idol, is set to release her debut album titled Without Regret on Vanguard/Capitol Records and in the process is ready to continue to write her music career the way she intended, without regret. Way before American Idol hit the television airwaves on FOX, Kimberly was already taking to the stage and infront of television cameras on a show called Star Search. A show which first showcased the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and many other of today’s hottest pop and country music stars. Caldwell had much success on that show winning a total of five times. At the age of 12, it was off to Branson, MO for a gig called Country Tonite, where she performed live on a nightly basis for 3 years. Back home in Texas she got the performing bug again after several years and entered auditions for the second season of American Idol. Though she didn't win, she did capture the hearts of many. She became a corespondent on Fox Sports, MTV, CBS, and even hosted a show on TV Guide Network which eventually led to her signing with Vanguard/Capitol Records. In her bio Kimberly is quoted as saying, "I've been a performer my entire life and everything I've done has led up to this moment." A moment she is set to prove with her debut album Without Regret and it's first single Desperate Girls & Stupid Boys. The video for the single was shot at a nightclub in Los Angeles and even features a cameo of her younger sister who is near and dear to Kimberly's heart. Her sister keeps her grounded and travels with her when she is on the road. Kimberly is far from slowing down. (She has been on a national stage twice so far in her life.) Something tells us the third time will be a charm. That charm is her, and it’s happening now.
