Biography

1995-2006: Early life

Pruitt was born in Loganville, Georgia and raised in Franklin, Tennessee.^[1][3] She began singing in church with her father at age four and started writing songs at nine.^[1][3][4] In 2006, she recorded a demo album that was eventually discovered by producer Keith Thomas. Shortly after, Pruitt was signed to Hollywood Records.^[1][4]

In June 2006, Pruitt's debut single, "Outside Looking In," was released to promote the Disney Channel TV film Read It and Weep. Her debut studio album, No Ordinary Girl, was released on February 6, 2007^[5] and peaked at number sixty-four on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.^[6] Pruitt toured with the High School Musical cast, as their opening act in 2007.

2008-2009: Permission to Fly

Pruitt's second studio album, Permission to Fly, was released on August 26, 2008.^[5] The album was essentially a commercial failure; both it and its singles failed to appear on any chart probably due to the fact that the first release of the album was released only at Limited Too stores before finally being given a more expanded release one month after.

2009-present

Pruitt's third studio album is set to be released in Spring, 2010. "Don't Lose Yourself", written by Jonas Brothers^[7], is expected to be a track. She also recorded the song "Take to the Sky" for Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure soundtrack and covered "This Christmas" for All Wrapped Up Vol. 2.
