This week on Diving In Deep, Sara is joined by Grammy-winning musician, Colbie Caillat! In this candid conversation, Colbie shares her experiences on the road, the challenges of touring, and her evolving relationship with music.

Listen to Unbroke: (https://ffm.to/seunbroke)

About Colbie Caillat:

Colbie Caillat is a singer-songwriter born under the California sun. When she wasn't busy taking voice lessons or studying piano, she spent her youth hanging with Fleetwood Mac as her father coproduced their landmark “Rumours” album. When she grew up, Caillat began posting her impeccably crafted tunes to MySpace and became one of the social media network's most popular unsigned talents. Zipping up the charts in 2007, her breezy pop hit “Bubbly” placed her smack in the middle of a new generation of singer/songwriters creating modern beach music rich in feel-good hooks and warm acoustic tones. To date, Caillat has earned two GRAMMY Awards, five nominations, and more than 15 billion streams. Yet Caillat—whose instantly recognizable voice is as versatile as it is heartfelt—wasn't about to be pigeonholed. In the late 2010s, Caillat made a bold decision to relocate to Nashville, where she dove headfirst into the world of country pop. Its gloriously sunny harmonies were proof that this artist would always have California in her soul.
