Kimberley Dawn Locke (born January 3, 1978) is an American singer-songwriter, most know for appearing on the second season of American Idol, in which she placed third.

A year after appearing on the show, Locke released her debut studio album titled One Love. The album produced her biggest hit to date, “8th World Wonder”. The song went on to peak at number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it her only song to peak on the Hot 100.

Following the release of One Love in 2004, Locke released her second studio album Based on a True Story in 2007, and her third and first Christmas album, aptly titled Christmas, released the same year.

Though Locke has not released a full length studio album since Christmas, she has released singles throughout the years following, such as “Strobelight” (2010), “Silver Bells” (2011), “Finally Free” (2012), and “Feel the Love” (2013) with Cahill. “Feel the Love” was a massive success in the United Kingdom, peaking at number one on the UK charts.
