CAA has signed American singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, who has sold more than six million albums and 10 million singles worldwide and has over four billion streams. Her breakthrough hit "Bubbly" remains one of the best-selling digital tracks in history.

Caillat was previously represented by WME.

Caillat is a two-time Grammy winner -- receiving a best pop collaboration with vocals award for the song "Lucky," with CAA client Jason Mraz, and an album of the year nod for Taylor Swift’s Fearless, on which she is a featured songwriter and vocalist on the original and recent re-recording of "Breathe."

Caillat's career journey was recently profiled in the Disney Plus original docuseries, Becoming. Throughout her career, Caillat has been a spokesperson and supporter for ASPCA, the Surfrider Foundation, Save The Music, Farm Sanctuary, and The Humane Society of the United States.

She is managed by Chad Jensen at Jensen Artist Management.

London four piece Keo are on course to land their first UK Number 1 album with Put A Smile On For Me. After building a loyal audience over the past two years, the London band now lead this week’s Official Albums Chart update. Their debut record explores love, guilt, and self destruction.

Nothing But Thieves are close behind at Number 2 with their fifth album, Stray Dogs. The Southend band are hoping for a second straight Number 1 after Dead Club City reached the top in 2023. Taylor Swift is at Number 3 with The Life Of A Showgirl, helped by the expanded The Encore edition. Olivia Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In sits at Number 4, while Soft Cell’s Danceteria opens at Number 5.
