Growing up in Frisco, Texas, in a tight-knit family, Cheyenne Kimball's natural music ability was harnessed to her determined personality. When she was nine she entered herself into a talent night at a club without her parent's permission. Much to her parent's surprise, Cheyenne blossomed under the spotlight.
By the time Cheyenne was 12, she had developed into a musical prodigy, writing nearly 200 songs and performing anywhere her mother would drive her. The same year, in 2003, Cheyenne gained national attention when she won the title of "America's Most Talented Kid" on the NBC show of the same name. Later that year, Sony/Epic Records signed her to a multi-record deal.
For more than three years after signing with Epic Records, Cheyenne nurtured her passion for songwriting by traveling to different cities to work with and learn from some of rock's most successful songsmiths. Her debut album, The Day Has Come, was completed in 2006 and features bassist Brad Smith and guitarist Christopher Thorn - both former members of Cheyenne's favorite band, Blind Melon. It was the quintet's self-titled debut that first inspired a seven-year old Cheyenne to pick up a guitar. "I remember very clearly the first time I heard 'No Rain.' It came on the radio - it had to be a few years after the record was out - and I was hooked," she says. "I just had to learn how to make those sounds. A friend gave me a guitar a few months later and I was on my way."
After finishing The Day Has Come,Cheyenne and her family left behind their longtime home in Frisco and moved to Los Angeles to make it easier for Cheyenne to rehearse. To capture the surreal reality behind Cheyenne's drive to succeed as a singer and songwriter, MTV cameras began documenting her life for a program called Cheyenne. The series opens as the Kimball family prepares to relocate to L.A.
