Young Atlanta-based pop artist Erin Kirby auditioned for American Idol Season 18

American Idol returns for Season 18 with its first audition episode on Sunday, Feb. 16.

Erin Kirby is among the talented singers who have announced they auditioned for the show.

Here’s more about Erin.

* She’s a young pop singer from Atlanta with music already released and a debut EP on the way.

* On her Facebook bio, Erin says she’s been performing since age 9, entering pageants at a young age and singing for the talent portion.

* “I stepped on stage and I knew this was what I wanted to do forever,” the teenager said in a September interview with Music All Access. “It has not been a difficult choice for me; it is really all I have wanted to do.”

* This summer, she performed prior to a game between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago White Sox. She’s also performed at Showtime at the Apollo at the 2018 inauguration of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

* Erin released a song called “Have Mercy” when she was very young and it was used in an independent film called “Breathe.”

* She’s released four singles much more recently, including “Boomerang” (2018), “Ours Tonight,” “Steal Your Heart” and “Right Man” (all 2019). You can check out the impressive “Right Man” below.

* According to her website, she plans to released a debut EP in early 2020. Of course, Idol could affect those plans.

* However, Erin did release a new single, “Lying,” on Feb. 21 and you can head here to check it out.

* She told All Access her major influences include Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Gavin James, and Jessie J.

* She’s also been involved with a number of charities as a result of her music and her pageant experience. She was part of an anti-bullying campaign and has participated in a number of cancer awareness events. Her mother, grandmother and aunt are all cancer survivors.
