New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Award-winning public relations and marketing firm PLA Media is pleased to announce the addition of former American Idol contestant Kaitlyn Jackson to its roster. She is joined alongside PLA's many accomplished clients including legendary Lynn Anderson, Billboard Songwriter of the Year Phil Vassar, Grammy award-winner Bryan White, chart-topping country artist Ashton Shepherd, and the world-renowned
Johnny Cash Museum.
The vivacious teen, with a voice and maturity way beyond her age, will be releasing her self-titled new album on Tuesday, January 27th. The upcoming album was produced by critically-acclaimed Grammy-nominee Kent Wells and will feature 8 original songs all co-written by Jackson.
This New York native's talent began garnering attention long before she appeared on Season 13 of American Idol, where she wowed all three judges with an original song dedicated to her grandfather and made it to the final Hollywood solo rounds. At the age of only 13, Jackson received the Horizon Award for promising new artists by the New York
State Country
Music Hall of Fame and then won Disney World's American Idol
Experience at Hollywood Studios the following year.
"We are thrilled to have such a bright young talent join our roster," said PLA Media President Pam Lewis. "Kaitlyn has already accomplished so much for being 16 and we are excited to be a part of her journey."
On the heels of acts like
Danielle Bradbery and Lucy Hale, the singer-songwriter has opened for major country artists including Cole Swindell, Kristian Bush, Joe Nichols,
Jamie O'Neal and Bryan White. Singing, however, isn't the only means of entertaining Jackson has. The multi-faceted teen also stars in plays and musicals and has won national awards in both dance and choreography.
