I’m part California,
part Carolina girl

A good southern girl from North Carolina, Katelyn Clampett is a 22-year-old Pop/Rock/Country singer/songwriter who is making a name for herself on both the East and West coasts. Katelyn has been referred to as “a more soulful, edgier version of Taylor Swift.”

At just the age of 16, Katelyn scored her first theme song to the CBS show “From Fairways to Airways,” featuring her father, PGA tour player Bobby Clampett. In 2008, she won the “Performer/Songwriter Showcase” and the “Songwriting Competition” at Berklee College of Music, and was even nominated by the Berklee Songwriting Faculty to work with Paul Simon.

After graduating from Berklee in ‘09, she began composing for numerous companies, as well as with other artists (including American Idol Contestant Justin Williams and Seth Bolt from the band Needtobreathe). Her music has also been heard on the Golf Channel for the Nationwide Tour Coverage. Not only does Clampett write Pop/Country, but her songs expand to genres such as Rock, Dance, Electronica, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Contemporary Christian and Comedy.

Miss Clampett’s “Strictly Business” EP was released on April 1st, 2011, debuting at #27 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. “This was a pivotal moment in my career,” says Clampett. “The promotion of this record was a complete grassroots effort, and I’m so humbled by everyone that has been supporting me on iTunes.” The record can be purchased HERE on iTunes for only $4.95.

Katelyn was most recently seen as a contestant on Season 9 of American Idol, winning a golden ticket to Hollywood, after Kara Dioguardi told her that she “has the full package.” She was also a winner of Boston’s FOX 25 American Idol contest, and chosen as one of the 10 best singer/songwriters in the country for a new music reality series on Bravo. She has recently moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue her career in writing and performing. Katelyn is also now on tour with Selena Gomez and The Scene, as a backup singer for their national tour. You can find tour dates at www.selenagomez.com.
