Kaitlyn’s dreams began on a stage in Texas, where as a natural performer, she took over the show as she shuffled across the dusty floorboards in her tailored Statue of Liberty costume. Her blonde hair shone in the spotlights, while her piercing blue eyes and the tremendous passion of this three year old girl stole the hearts of the crowd. Little did the audience know that they were watching Kaitlyn Anderson, a girl who was destined to rise to fame as “America’s Pop Rock Sweetheart.”

Kaitlyn immersed herself in anything where she could exercise her love for the arts. At ten years of age, Kaitlyn began taking piano and vocal lessons. Soon after, she starred in her first musical, “Bye Bye Birdie.” As a child, she was inspired by the powerful vocals of Bette Midler, the moving lyrics of Amy Grant, and the catchy tunes of The Beach Boys.

As a teenager, Kaitlyn continued to pursue her love for music and theatre. She attended Chaparral high school in Scottsdale, Arizona, but soon after was moved to Huntington Beach her junior year and attended the magnet program at The Academy for the Performing Arts. After graduating, Kaitlyn briefly attended the University of Arizona. She then transferred to the University of Southern California, where she minored in dance and majored in theatre. In order to take things up a notch, she also started voice lessons with a Seth Riggs Speech Level Singing Certified instructor.

Even though Kaitlyn never let go of her dreams of becoming a performer, after graduation, she started working as a wedding planner to pay the bills. Since she knew where her dreams were vested, she continued taking voice lessons. One day, on a whim, she recorded a song in her studio and immediately realized that becoming a recording artist was her destiny. She decided from that moment on she would pursue her aspirations of being a recording artist and not let anything get in her way. She quit her job and began pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter almost immediately.

Kaitlyn shares, “My life has changed drastically in the past two years. Difficult life decisions have led me to where I am today. I have always had the dream to pursue music, but I struggled with confidence issues and had to learn to believe in myself. Now, I have so much support and encouragement from my family and the professional team around me, it makes my dreams more accessible. It has given me all the confidence in the world.”

Kaitlyn’s immediate goal is to be recognized as a great performer. Sure, she would love to tour all over the country, record new music and ultimately get signed to a recording contract—but she also realizes she has to pay her dues. She has perfected her addicting sound on her debut EP “A New Word For Over” as rock blended with a kiss of pop. She notes that her musical influences came from the sounds of Paramore, The Foo Fighters, Carrie Underwood, and Mandy Moore. As a passionate, romantic, and positive person, Kaitlyn has said that her lyrics are emotional-- a direct result of her wearing her heart on her sleeve. Many of her lyrics have come from her past tumultuous relationships, and the journey through making difficult life decisions when following your dreams.

As a woman who is designing her fate and planning on making big waves in the music industry, Kaitlyn Anderson is truly is on her way to becoming America’s next pop rock sweetheart. Kaitlyn’s debut EP will be released March 2008. You don't know what this girl can do until you hear her LIVE!
