Californian singer songwriter Colbie Caillat music run in the family for 23 years old, who currently scored her first US number one album.
Her father Ken co-produced one of the best selling releases of the 1970s, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, and has produced many of the songs on his daughter's latest album Breakthrough.
COLBIE CAILLAT
Colbie and Ken Caillat would "butt heads" while making her new album When I was four or five, I remember my family having parties. We'd be blasting music all day long it was all about music and it was always fun.
It was all classic rock the Steve Miller Band, Tom Petty, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac.
The first concert I ever went to was Fleetwood Mac at the Hollywood Bowl and we were allowed to go backstage.
My parents have stayed friends with Fleetwood Mac over the years. The first time I ever went out on a boat, we went out on John McVie's yacht in southern California and I threw up off the side.
Dad would take me, my sister and my mom into the studio all the time. We'd be at the console and watch him. When he had his record label, I'd go into the offices.
Sometimes we'd sit in on meetings. My sister and I helped them name one of their record labels. We were brainstorming with them on what a cool name would be for a label. We ended up with Silverline.
My parents are so proud now seriously, they wanted to take another tour bus and follow my tour
When Steely Dan's song Hey Nineteen would come on at home, I'd rock out and sing all the words to it. That's when my parents saw the interest. My dad started teaching me what song structure was. That's how it started.
Working with my dad now, we can be honest with each other and I'm not nervous to tell him if I don't like one of his ideas and he's not nervous to tell me if I need to re-do a vocal. Of course there are times when we butt heads and argue but we end up compromising. It's all about the music and not about ego.
My parents are so proud now. Seriously, they wanted to take another tour bus and follow my tour. They knew I've been wanting to be a singer since I was 11 years old when I sang my first talent show with my two best friends in sixth grade.
