America took notice of Cheyenne Kimball in 2003 when she took top honors on NBC's America's Most Talented Kid. Epic signed her that same year. From there, Kimball began writing and recording her debut. Bassist Brad Smith and guitarist Christopher Thorn, formerly of Blind Melon, joined in on Kimball's recording sessions. This was a dream come true, for Blind Melon was a major inspiration. As Kimball worked on balancing her life as a normal teenage girl with the responsibilities that come with being a recording artist, MTV chronicled such transitions for the Cheyenne show. The reality program aired in 2006, generating more buzz around Kimball's debut album, The Day Has Come. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
