[edit] Biography

Partlow grew up singing gospel and country songs in her native town. While still in her early teens, a demo she and her family had self-produced, made its way to an aunt working as a songwriter in Nashville. Eventually, the recording found the ear of producer and Virgin CEO, Matt Serletic, and by the time Partlow was 14, she had signed her first contract.

Her first album, titled Who We Are, was released September 6, 2005. Her first on-screen national exposure was performing a song from the album on the September 9, 2005 edition of The Tonight Show with the song "Sick Inside".

Prior to the release of her album, her song, Whatever Comes Our Way, was the theme to the The WB comedy Living With Fran, starring Fran Drescher. In the summer of 2005, she toured with Jesse McCartney, acting as his open act. Unlike the many other teen pop artists of her time, she was not involved in the acting scene that spawned the likes of Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan. Instead, she comes from more of a singer-songwriter perspective, writing her own songs - such as her debut single "Who We Are".

In November of 2005, as part of the label's restructuring, Virgin had made the decision to drop Partlow's contract.

In February of 2007, Hope announced on her myspace blog that she has given up waiting for a record label to sign her. Prior to that, she announced an upcoming acoustic album and a tour, which is set to start in April of 2007.
