Caitlyn Hessell's love affair with music began at an early age with her introduction to The Beatles, whose albums quickly helped her realize the power of music. Wanting to create her own sounds, she took up the piano at age 7, and realizing her passion for music, she shortly thereafter began classical training on the cello.At age 12 she attended a Jonny Lang concert where she discovered the rebellious nature of the blues, and tired of being limited by classical scales, she took up the electric guitar. The rest of her childhood was spent developing her song-writing craft, and by college she had settled into her place as an acoustic singer-songwriter.After graduating from Boston University in May 2007, Caitlyn embarked on a string of successful collaborations with more down tempo and trip-hop artists. Caitlyn now lives in Boston and spends all of her spare time working on new songs and pursuing a career in music, and has most recently been described as "the lovechild of Jeff Buckley and Norah Jones", as well as being compared to the likes of Missy Higgins, Sia, and other great female singer/song writers.2008 is promising to be a successful year for Caitlyn with her first EP, Always There, scheduled for release in February 2008 on Summer Rain Recordings, with a string of new tracks and collaborations set to follow.Devoted to the idea of giving something back to the world via her music, Caitlyn will be donating a portion of her royalties from her Always there EP to NextAid.org, a non-profit organization that provide help and support to children in Africa who have been orphaned by Aids.
