Katharine McPhee Biography

Katharine McPhee emerged as one of the most memorable and promising artists ever to emerge from the hit reality competition series American Idol. She was born on March 25 1984 in Los Angeles to Peisha Arten a cabaret singer and vocal coach and Daniel McPhee a television producer. McPhee began performing in musicals and plays at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks CA from which she graduated in 2002. She appeared in a number of musicals in 2005 including productions of both Annie Get Your Gun and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. In the fall of 2005 McPhee tried out for season five of American Idol where she wowed the judges with her soulful rendition of Billie Holliday's God Bless the Child and advanced to the semi-finals round in Hollywood. With her beauty queen looks and stellar voice McPhee was pegged as one of the frontrunners early on in the competition. She consistently made strong impressions through her performances including her much discussed rendition of K.T. Tunstall's hit single Black Horse and the Cherry Tree for which she sang on her knees. McPhee made it all the way to the finals but in the end she lost to the silver-haired blues singer Taylor Hicks.
