'Stacie Joy Orrico' (born March 3, 1986 in Seattle, Washington) is a female American singer who was discovered at a Christian talent contest when she was in her early teens and has since released two successful albums.
Music career
Stacie got her start in 1998 at the age of 12 by attending a Christian music festival, Praise in the Rockies, held in her home state of Colorado. Stacie inadvertently entered a high-stakes talent competition, and won. A ForeFront Records executive was on hand and approached her for a record deal (she eventually did sign with them).
Since then, she has released two albums, Genuine in 2000 when she was 14 years of age which produced the hit single "Don't Look At Me" which topped Christian Charts for 10 consecutive weeks, and the more mainstream and self-titled Stacie Orrico in 2003, which charted in the US Billboard Top 200, Australian ARIAnet and the United Kingdom albums charts. The first single from this album was "Stuck" and became a worldwide hit making it into the Top 5 or Top 10 of the majority of the world's charts. This was followed by the single "(There's Gotta Be) More To Life", which also charted and went top 20 in Australia and the UK. "More To Life" failed to do as well as "Stuck" but still became a hit in many countries. This was then followed by "I Promise" (top 30 in the UK), and the last single "I Could Be The One" (top 40 in the UK on June 2004). Both singles were given limited releases and limited promotion so it was understandable why they didn't fare as well as the first 2 singles did.
Genuine sold over 13,000 copies the first week making her the First New Female Christian artist with the highest debut week sales ever. Genuine has sold 500,000 copies thus far, giving the album Gold certification. Her sophomore effort, Stacie Orrico, debuted at #67 on the Billboard 200 and has sold over 500,000 copies so far in the U.S. and is also certified Gold. "Stacie Orrico" has also sold 600,000 in Japan and an estimated 2.5 million copies worldwide.
