Biography

Hoop was raised by strict Mormon parents in Sonoma County, California Her mother trained her to sing opera and choral music from a young age. She worked as a counselor at a rehabilitation program for children in the mountains of Arizona before getting a job as a nanny for the children of Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan.

Waits got a demo of Hoop's song "Seed of Wonder" to DJ Nic Harcourt at Los Angeles' KCRW radio station, which in turn launched Hoop's career. After releasing the EP Silverscreen Demos, Hoop signed a record deal with Columbia and recorded her full-length debut, Kismet, in 2007. She has since toured the country, playing shows with The Polyphonic Spree and other bands.
