Career highlights
The Pussycat Dolls era (2002–2009)
In 2002, Kimberly Wyatt started as a dancer on a TV comedy show. The next year, she was asked to join a new pop group called The Pussycat Dolls. The group included Nicole Scherzinger, Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, and Jessica Sutta.
The Pussycat Dolls became very famous around the world. They had hit songs like "Don't Cha", "Stickwitu", and "Buttons". Their first album, PCD (2005), sold millions of copies. Kimberly was known for her amazing "standing oversplit" dance move in their music videos.
Later, they released their second album, Doll Domination (2008). This album featured more hits like "When I Grow Up". Even though they were very successful, the group faced some challenges. Because of these issues, Kimberly and other members left the group in 2010, and The Pussycat Dolls broke up for a while.
New projects and TV shows (2009–2018)
After leaving The Pussycat Dolls, Kimberly started new projects. From 2009 to 2014, she was a judge on the British dance competition show Got to Dance. In 2010, she was featured on the hit song "Candy" by Aggro Santos, which reached number five in the UK.
Also in 2010, Kimberly formed a pop duo called Her Majesty & the Wolves. She created this group with Spencer Nezey. They released their first album, 111, in 2011. The duo performed together for four years. In 2011, Kimberly also judged the American dance show Live to Dance.
