One More Girl

They're called One More Girl. Except, actually, they're two.

Britt and Carly McKillip, collectively known as One More Girl – are twenty and twenty-two respectively. They've been making music together since they were little girls and are already seasoned vets of the entertainment business. Music is the heartbeat of the McKillip home – both parents are songwriters, and dad, Tom is an award-winning producer and musician. The girls have grown up immersed in the country music scene, both in Canada and Nashville and cite many diverse artists as both influences and favorites – from music legends Patty Loveless, Rodney Crowell, Radney Foster and Patty Griffin to Michelle Branch, Gavin DeGraw and Lady Gaga.

One More Girl call Vancouver, BC home and have accumulated an impressive list of performance credits in spite of their ages: they've opened for artists such as Keith Urban and Darius Rucker at various showcases and festivals, and toured with Terri Clark, Johnny Reid and Toby Keith. In addition, the girls have performed with Lady Antebellum as part of a CMT video, filmed in Jamaica last year.

The first thing audiences notice about One More Girl is their pristine blend of voices, the sort of effortless harmonies only ever delivered by siblings. Their poise and presence is something not often seen in such young performers. Their debut CD, titled "Big Sky" was produced by dad, Tom McKillip and is a collection of powerfully engaging songs that have resonated with the One More Girl audience. From the Stones-infused "Misery Loves Company," to the defiant first single, "I Can Love Anyone," to the bittersweet lilt of "When It Ain't Raining", there's something truly compelling about the One More Girl sound.

Over the past three years, Britt and Carly have been steadily winning over fans with youthful, cutting-edge performances and their signature knock-out vocals. In March 2010 One More Girl took home the prestigious Canadian Radio Music Award for 'Best New Country Artist'. The girls continued their awards sweep in October 2010, picking up the BCCMA awards for 'Single of the Year', 'Group or Duo', 'Album of the Year' and 'Entertainer of the Year'. Their most treasured accolade to date, however, would have to be their September 2010 win for 'Rising Star', on the CBC-televised Canadian Country Music Awards.

In addition to flourishing music careers, Britt and Carly have been acting for over ten years. Riding the wave of a booming west-coast film industry, their resumes reflect not only the scope of their talent, but a genuine commitment to entertainment culture. As well as being featured in a number of movies, Britt has appeared as the lead in two seasons of the critically-acclaimed series 'Dead Like Me'. She's also lent her voice to a number of animation series including 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' as Sabrina, Disney's 'Baby Loonytoons', and 'Strawberry Shortcake'. Carly's credits include a recurring role on the ABC series 'Life As We Know It' with Kelly Osbourne; and a guest-starring role on the NBC hit 'Bionic Woman'. Her most impressive acting coupe to date has been playing the role of quirky teen Alice McLeod, on the CTV comedy series "Alice, I Think".

To family, friends and fans who have watched Britt and Carly's developing careers, it came as no surprise when the girls were signed to EMI Music Canada in 2008. Actor, entertainer and Order-of-Canada recipient Tom Jackson was so impressed after seeing the girls perform one evening in their living room, that he brought them to the attention of Deane Cameron and Fraser Hill at EMI. Mr. Jackson commented: "When I first heard One More Girl, I was overwhelmed by their pure passion and conviction...as I watched them sing I was drawn into the love and trust that only sisters can have for one another...I bear witness to the changing face and the beautiful future of country music."

Leading up to the release of "Big Sky" in October 2009, One More Girl saw their first three radio releases reach as high as #6 on the Canadian country charts, with "When It Ain't Raining" hitting the #1 spot at CMT. Their fourth (and highest charting) single "Tumblin' Tears" enjoyed the distinction of being the most added single in Canada (including U.S. artists) in all formats, in January 2010.

Fast forward to February of 2011 for the newest – and undeniably most impressive – twist in the evolving One More Girl story, when Britt and Carly were invited by Interscope Records to perform at a series of auditions for Aimee Nadeau, Jolene Cherry (Senior VP of A&R Universal Music), Vince Herbert (A&R / Manager Lady Gaga), and ultimately, Jimmy Iovine himself. In August of 2011, the press release was issued announcing One More Girl as the most recent signing with Interscope Records in Los Angeles. The girls are currently splitting time between LA and Nashville, co-writing with Billy Steinberg, Rick Knowles, and Jeff Trott, as well as a select group of hit songwriters based in Nashville. The last batch of songs for the new album are coming fast and furious, with production currently underway and a planned CD release date of June 2012.

While Britt and Carly are deeply involved with writing and recording their Interscope album, the One More Girl love affair with Canadian radio continues...on the heels of the heady string of successes from 'Big Sky', the girls released 'Fall Like That' in the spring of 2011, resulting in impressive reviews, solid charting and a swell of anticipation from their fans for new One More Girl music. Their newest single – 'Maybe' – is a passionate love song that clearly speaks to a new level of maturity and confidence for the McKillip sisters, and gives their fans another taste of what to expect from One More Girl in the coming months.
