Kaitlin is best known for her work as an actress and is thrilled to be releasing her debut CD "Make Me Sweat". Kaitlin comes from a long line of theater royalty: mother, actress Shirley Knight; father, producer Gene Persson; and stepfather, playwright John R. Hopkins. Kaitlin was raised in New York and London and currently lives in New York with composer boyfriend Jim Price.
"Jim Price wrote all of the songs for my album and they are wonderful-I love singing them. Some of them have a real bluesy element to them, others are more pop and rock oriented, with a few heart-wrenching ballads thrown in for good measure. Our band is made up of some of the best, most exciting musicians in New York: Adam Countryman, Kevin Rice, Kyle Smith and Dave Madden(you can hear them on the cast recording of "Bare" as well), with guest appearances by Dave Phillips and Timothy Mueller. They are all the real deal and bring an original, exciting energy to the music. Whether you're stuck in traffic or going that extra mile on the treadmill, this album was designed to keep your feet moving and a smile on your face." --Kaitlin Hopkins
