KRISTY LEE COOK

Kristy Lee Cook (stage name, Kristy Lee) is not your typical young lady. Until Kristy moved to Texas several years ago to pursue her music career, she was living in a log-cabin style home, surrounded by pine trees, in Oregon, and riding her horse, Midnight, almost every day. Putting Midnight, an Arabian, through her paces usually meant jumping, racing, and swimming in the river...most of which Kristy did bareback.

David MacKechnie, a songwriter from Cave Junction, Oregon, heard Kristy sing and suggested that she send her material to Marty Rendleman in Dallas, Texas. It seems that Marty discovered and managed LeAnn Rimes for the first three years of her career. Kristy was 15 years old when the family flew Marty in to see Kristy perform at a local fair, but she immediately recognized the talent and agreed to sign her.

Marty had met Joe Galante, Chairman, RCA Label Group, while she was managing LeAnn, so it seemed only natural for Marty to introduce him to her latest country prodigy. Kristy was signed by RCA and put on their Arista label. A promotion deal with Britney Spears was put in place, and it seemed that 'stardom' was imminent. Kristy was 17 when the label put some of their young acts, including Kristy, on hold and then dropped them. RMG subsequently terminated the contract with B & L Productions.

Not about to give up her dreams, Kristy moved to Dallas to pursue her career and gain the experience offered by the many venues in the area. Kristy worked with the Kim Dawson Agency for modeling and commercials, she released her first CD entitled, "Devoted", and she has headlined at Cowboys in Arlington, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas, for two years.

In 2007, Kristy moved back home to Oregon to rest and prepare to try out for American Idol. She is a very talented young lady who has her own unique sound and style.

At 5'8", Kristy Lee looks like a blonde, blue-eyed Brook Shields, has an incredible voice and is the wholesome, All-American 'girl next door'. The entertainment world is in for a treat! Here's the REAL American Idol!!! Rendleman Management Group, Inc. is proud to have had Kristy Lee Cook as a client, and we wish her great success in her career.

  • Great pre-Idol effort
    author: Logan Bloom

    This CD is top-notch. It's great that Kristy had some experience with music prior to her "Idol" days. They always say that the show should strictly be an amateurs-only contest, but what do they know? My favorite cuts on this album are the title track and the cover of "Unchained Melody". She's got a very wide range in her voice. She can hit the high notes very well and stay in tune no matter how tough the song may be. She is a very talented and beautiful woman. I look forward to seeing her on the Idols Live! tour this summer and can't wait for her next album to come out. And hopefully she can get signed with another major label. She can definitely do a lot for the world of country music.

    5 Stars + If you had sung these songs on American Idol you may have gone even further. (One never knows). Devoted is an especially good song. Your vocal range and voice quality in Unchained Melody is brill!!

  • Major Talent!
    author: Gary Stanley

    Unfortunately, I hadn't even heard of Kristy Lee until she auditioned on American Idol, where she sang a powerful rendition of Amazing Grace. This is an excellent album all the way through and the video for 'Devoted' is available on YouTube! She won't need to win American Idol to be noticed by Nashville, I'm sure.

  • Beautiful voice

    Kristy Lee Cook has a beautiful voice and is lovely to watch (AI).

    author: Bopalot Music (Bob Boyce)

    This is a powerful country singer! In time I feel she'll leave the rest behind. She seems to takes a lyric and makes it her own while putting on much more melodic spunk to boot. I'm a devoted fan and just one listen will win you over.

  • wonderful tonight
