CALI's high-energy pop/r b blend and energetic live shows have been getting a lot of attention these past several months. CALI co-headlined the 2006 Camplified Tour with fellow teen act Kristy Frank (Universal/Ruffnation). Sponsored by Fender, Sonic Bids and PopStar!
Magazine, the summer tour has previously hosted such up coming acts as (Island Records), (Capitol Records), Nikki Flores (Epic Records), Katelyn Tarver (American Idol Juniors) and Rose Falcon (Columbia Records). CALI followed her first major tour with appearances at select dates of the 2006 Shoutfest Tour, sharing the stage with such artists as Jump5, Krystal Meyers, Jars of Clay, Skillet and more. Her live show includes a DJ, dancers and complex choreography, as well as pre-show "dance clinics" before many live events.
CALI has signed with Nashville-based management company Waypoint Entertainment, and together they have crafted her upcoming self-titled CD, produced by Darrell Vanzant, Ric Robbins and Mizell, with help from mixing engineer Steve Hodge - whose credits include Jackson. Insisting on not being labeled as another pre-fabricated, manufactured pop artist, CALI made songwriting with substance a priority. "I have a strong desire to reach tweens, teens and beyond with a wholesome message," says CALI.
"I wanted to get a really fun feel, but I also wanted to put a message behind it and that's where my faith comes in. This is who I am, so I don't feel like I should do it any other way.
