Career in Music

Early in her life, Ciara made lasting friends and connections, which led to the formation of an all-girl pop group called "Hearsay." Although the group never made it big, it convinced Ciara to pursue a future in music.

Even before she graduated from high school, Ciara wrote songs for Blu Cantrell and Fantasia Barrino among others. She then met Jazze Pha, a producer and she recorded songs with him that would later appear on her debut album.

After high school, she started to fully pursue her career in music in 2003. Jazze Pha helped her meet a record executive and she subsequently signed with LaFace Records. Soon her debut album was ready with a handful of songs like "1, 2, Step" and "Thug Style" already been recorded during her high school years. Further, the song, called "Goodies," would become one of her most successful hits, which also became the title of Ciara's debut album.

She released her first album in 2004, and it became a major success, shooting straight to number three on the US Billboard Top 200. "Goodies" went three times platinum in the U.S., and it has been compared to a female version of Usher's "Yeah."

After her debut album, Ciara collaborated with several other major artists. She featured on singles by Missy Elliott and Bow Wow and she toured with Gwen Stefani and Chris Brown.
