A Puerto Rican-born singer-songwriter who was classically trained, Garcia had just successfully auditioned for the first season of <I>Objetivo Fama</I> (a Spanish-language version of <i>American Idol</i>) when she fell asleep behind the wheel while driving and got into a near-fatal accident. Her condition cost her a spot on the show, but she'd already gained the attention of music labels, and she signed with Sony a few years later. Garcia's not an obvious pop singer -- her voice is huskier and a bit more knowing than the average ingenue, but that's what has made her stand out in a crowded field. Her songwriting skills are not in question, either: she penned three tracks for <I>Objetivo Fama</I> winner Janina; she's also written for sister duo Ha*Ash and others. She released her solo debut, <I>Cualquier Dia</i> (on which she wrote all the songs), in 2007. - Sarah BardeenLatin Popen720Fri, 25 Dec 2009 12:29:10 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15291284&rws=%2Fkany-garcia%2Fmusic-videos.rss Kany Garcia's nascent success story almost didn't happen.
