Her name is Katelyn Tarver.
In the small friendly town of Glennville, Georgia, Katelyn grew up in a home filled with song. Her mother, a church choir vocalist and her father, an avid southern blues guitarist would fill Katelyns everyday life with beautiful, heartfelt music. As Katelyn tells it, "There was always music in our life, the church, the house and always the car radio." At an early age, Katelyn taught herself the feel and interpretation of pop music. It was then that Katelyn began developing her own distinctive style that has been called the heart and soul of a woman in the body of young girl.
Eager to perform for a larger audience than just family and friends, in 2003 the Tarvers traveled to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the audition of the American Idol Juniors. Her talent left the producers speechless and she was immediately given a spot on the show. Katelyn received tremendous critical praise from judges Deborah Gibson and legendary pop vocalist Gladys Knight all the while building a solid fan base as Katelyn became one of the finalist in the American Idol Juniors competition. Upon Katelyns return to Georgia, Katelyn began recording demos and performing numerous shows in the southeastern part of the United States.
One of the demos made its way to New York City and into the hands of Tom and Concett Bradley at their record label TC Music. Katelyn was signed to TC Music in late summer of 2004 and since then, Katelyn has recorded in New York City and in Los Angeles with such producers as Mattias Gustafsson (Backstreet Boys) and Kevin Savigar (Josh Gracin, Rod Stewart). Katelyn has worked with noted New York City fashion photographers Steve Azzara and Peter Brown, all the while maintaining her busy performance schedule with the likes of Sky Sweetnam and Kimberly Locke, acting appearances in commercials for VH1, MTV, BET and Conair hair products as well as being featured in the spring issue of Super Model Unlimited magazine. In addition to Katelyns music recording and performance schedule, Katelyn has signed with Wilhelmina Modeling Agency, Abrams Artist Management and Vals Artist Management for print, on-camera and commercial vocal representation.
Katelyns album entitled Wonderful Crazy not only showcases Katelyn's singing talent but also shows a smart young woman with her choice of lyric content. In the song Something In Me, Katelyn lends a voice to all young people trying to find their way in life. With the track Ill Make It Real, Katelyn sings about being strong and believing in ones self. In addition, Katelyn shines with her songs about young relationships and life - Undeniable and Rain show the happiness, fun and drama associated with teen romance. The albums title cut Wonderful Crazy gives Katelyn a chance to let her hair down and rock out. Weve had lots of fun working on the album. Now I just cant wait to continue to sing and perform the songs in front of live audiences, says Katelyn.
Katelyn Tarver - the perfect balance between innocence and attitude - finding a home with audiences everywhere.
