Katharine McPhee Biography
Though Taylor Hicks' quirky soulfulness made him 2006's
American Idol, runner-up Katharine McPhee's classic good looks and
voice and affinity for traditional pop made her a strong contender
throughout the season. In fact, she was one of the first semifinalists
to make it to the final 12. A native of Sherman Oaks, CA, McPhee began
singing at age two. Her mother, Patricia McPhee, is an established
singer in her own right, performing and recording as Peisha McPhee. She
helped Katharine develop as a vocalist and gave her more formal
training than many American Idol hopefuls receive. Though McPhee sang
and acted throughout her childhood and high-school years, she began
taking singing more seriously in college, attending Boston Conservatory
as a musical theater major. After three semesters, however, she left
for Los Angeles to audition for film and television work. McPhee scored
roles in the film Crazy, a musical about Hank Garland, and an MTV
series, You Are Here, which didn't make it to the air. She also
appeared in productions of Annie Get Your Gun and The Ghost and Mrs.
Muir before auditioning for American Idol in 2005.
Once McPhee made the final 12, her performances of songs such as
Someone to Watch Over Me, Come Rain or Come Shine, and Black Horse
and the Cherry Tree made her one of the favorites of American Idol
judges and viewers. After the American Idol season ended, McPhee was
signed by show creator Simon Fuller's 19 Recordings Limited label and
released her first single, Somewhere Over the Rainbow/My Destiny; it
became the second best-selling single of 2006. That summer, after bouts
with bronchitis and laryngitis, she joined the rest of the finalists
and Hicks on the American Idols LIVE! tour and also toured with Andrea
Bocelli, who appeared on American Idol as a guest judge. McPhee began
recording her self-titled debut album in the fall, working with
collaborators such as Timbaland's production partner, Nate Danja Hand
Hills, Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, and songwriter Kara DioGuardi. Over
It, which was written by the songwriting team of Billy Steinberg, Josh
Alexander, and Ruth-Anne Cunningham, arrived a few weeks before
Katharine McPhee was released in early 2007. ~ Heather Phares, All
