A contestant on #American Idol's second season, Kimberly Caldwell ended up placing seventh in that year's competition, but parlayed her exposure into other opportunities. Born in Katy, TX, in 1982, Caldwell started singing at age five, performing in pageants and working her way up to ~the Grand Ole Opry and #Star Search (where she was a five-time junior vocalist winner) while still a young teen. After taking a break for a few years, Caldwell resumed singing, starting with local venues and eventually appearing on the WB Television Network's #Popstars: USA talent program in 2001. She was dismissed from the show's group because the judges believed she would do better as a solo artist.
