A former "competitive artistic roller skater," Kimberly Cole first entered the music industry as a host for MTV and the X Music Network before blazing her own trail as a dance-pop starlet. Although she focused on theater while attending UCLA, music became Cole's chief passion during her early twenties, when she scored spots on several movie soundtracks and began to ready her full-length studio debut. ~ Andrew Leahey
