Mini bio
How it started.
Colbie loved singing before she found her way into songwriting. She told Charleston City Paper that her parents encouraged her to learn instruments and develop her own songs. After a friend put her studio demos on MySpace, listeners began finding and sharing them.
From demos to Coco.
She became MySpace’s leading unsigned artist and signed with Universal Republic. Her 2007 debut Coco reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200, with “Bubbly” introducing her easygoing acoustic pop to a much wider audience. Breakthrough followed in 2009 and debuted at No. 1.
Songs with staying power.
Her Jason Mraz duet “Lucky” earned a Grammy, and her appearance on Taylor Swift’s Fearless brought another. In 2014, “Try” and its video spoke to the pressure to change your appearance to please other people.
A country chapter.
Colbie explored country music with the quartet Gone West before releasing her first solo country album, Along the Way, in 2023. It includes “I’ll Be Here” with Sheryl Crow. On 2025’s This Time Around, she revisited familiar songs and shared new ones through a full album of duets.
