Forrest Amber Lipton was born and raised in Houston, TX and from a very young age, had a knack for entertaining. She began singing on her own and then added piano to the mix, but Forrest was not content just playing someone else's music: she experimented with writing her own songs and actively promoted herself to become quite the local sensation.
At the age of eleven Forrest appeared on Star Search and won the first round in the junior singing competition with "Proud Mary." Later that year, Forrest begged her parents to let her audition for Showtime at the Apollo on Tour, whichresulted in her winning the competition and appearing on-stage at the Apollo Theatre in New York.
When record execs got word of Forrest's genuine talent, they setup a meeting and the entertainers immediately hit it off. Not only impressed by Forrest's voice, record exes were also impressed with her personality and character. Indeed, Forrest's altruistic values keep her humble and she consistently reinforces her motto, "stay in school, say no to drugs, listen to your parents, and don't be in a rush to grow up! It's okay to be a kid!"
Shortly after the meeting, she began crafting her teen-pop sound with the help of producers and songwriters such as E Poppi, Erin Stevenson, Chip for Mohitz Ent., Kiotti, Myke Diesel, and Drumma Boy.
Forrest first collaborated with teen-rapper Romeo (formerly Lil' Romeo) on the set of her DVD movie, Crush On U. In the film, Forrest develops a crush on her de-facto babysitter (Romeo) and tries all sorts of tricks and tactics to win him over.
