Colbie Marie Caillat (pronounced/ˈkoʊlbi kəˈleɪ/(info)) (born May 28, 1985 in Newbury Park, California) is an American pop singer-songwriter and guitarist from Malibu, California. Her father, Ken Caillat, co-produced Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Tusk albums; Caillat recalls being around the likes of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie as a child.
The popularity of Caillat's MySpace profile led her to become the number-one unsigned singer in her genre for four months.

According to her MySpace profile, Caillat was first inspired to start singing at age 11 when she first heard the Fugees 1996 version of the song "Killing Me Softly", made famous by Robert Flack in 1973. Her MySpace profile also states that, though trained at piano from an early age, Caillat did not begin playing guitar until age nineteen.
In May 2008, Caillat recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, called "Lucky," on his album, We Sing We Dance, We Steal ThingsThe same month, Caillat recorded a cover of the song "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid for Disney's DisneyMania vol. 6CD.
