I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Kaci - Paradise
24 February 2001 | 0:00:00 GMT/UTC

Kaci is only thirteen years old but she has an impressive CV; she has sung the American national anthem to the New York Yankees; she's appeared in a movie, Camp Tanglefoot; she's worked with Disney on commercials and presented a Disney Christmas TV special.

When she was eleven she met entertainment entrepreneur Joel Diamond who said: "When I first heard Kaci's demo CD, I couldnĂ­t believe the voice coming from my speakers was that of an eleven year old, so I had to see for myself." He produced this, her first single, Paradise.

Paradise is a latin-flavoured track, she does have a good voice, which sounds a lot older than she actually is.

The track is surprisingly good, if you like pop music.


3/5
