Although born and bred in Austin, Texas, she travelled around the world during her childhood, and finally ended up in Atlanta, Georgia where she met the renowned music producer, Jazze Pha. With his help, she was signed to LaFace Records, where she rose to become a successful artist, having sold more than seven million albums worldwide and had numerous top ten hits since then.
In 2004 she released her debut album Goodies that spawned the number one hits 'Goodies' and '1, 2 Step', selling over five million copies worldwide and certified triple platinum in the United States. The album earned her four nominations at the 2004 Grammy Awards. In 2006, she released her second album, “Ciara: The Evolution” which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and included the hits 'Get Up' and 'Promise'. Her third album Fantasy Ride released in May 2009, included the worldwide top ten hit single 'Love Sex Magic' with Justin Timberlake which earned her a nomination at the 52nd Grammy Awards for 'Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals'. Since making her musical debut in 2004, Ciara has attained five Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles including a number one. Prior to the release of her third album, Ciara has sold over seven million albums worldwide, and as of June 2010, she has also sold more than 4.3 million albums and 6.9 million digital tracks in the United States alone.
Ciara was born in Austin, Texas on October 25, 1985 as the only child of Jackie and Carlton Harris. Her father being in the U.S. Army, Ciara grew up in the Germany, New York, Utah, and California, Arizona, and Nevada military bases. In the light of this, Ciara stated that while she hated to lose good friends, this would help her in her career where she has to travel all over the world. In her teenage years, Ciara and her family settled in Atlanta. She said that watching Destiny's Child and superstar siblings Michael and Janet Jackson as her biggest inspirations to pursue a career in music
In her mid-teens, Ciara formed the all girl group Hearsay with two friends. The group recorded demos, but difference within the group eventually split them up. Despite this setback, Ciara managed to sign a publishing deal as a songwriter. It was in the course of writing songs that she met music producer, Jazze Pha, whom she called her 'music soulmate'. In 2002, the duo recorded four demos, '1, 2 Step', 'Thug Style', 'Pick Up the Phone', and 'Lookin' at You', which all appeared on her debut album which was released two years later. After graduating from Riverdale High School in Georgia in 2003, she was signed by LaFace Records executive, L.A. Reid, whom she was introduced to by Jazze Pha. She began production on her debut album later that year. In early 2004, Ciara wrote a demo with record producer, Sean Garrett. The demo was later brought to the attention of Lil Jon and this became her debut single 'Goodies'. Lil Jon stated later that he knew it would be big seeing how it sounded similar to Usher's international hit, 'Yeah!'
Ciara released her debut album Goodies on September 28, 2004 after which she was hailed as the 'Princess or First Lady of Crunk&B'. She worked with several writers and producers on the album, including Jazze Pha (who discovered her), Lil Jon, Bangladesh, R. Kelly, Johntá Austin, Sean Garrett, and Keri Hilson, among others. The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, selling 124,750 copies in its initial week and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Goodies itself had a seventy-one week stint on the Billboard 200, and certified three times-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on October 10, 2006, and has sold around 2.7 million copies in the United States as of June 2010. Charting at twenty-two on the Canadian Albums Chart, it was certified Platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association. The album charted at twenty-six on the UK Albums Chart, and spent twenty weeks on the chart. It was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry and remains her sole certified album in the UK.
Goodies' lead single, the title track, featuring Petey Pablo, was released on June 8, 2004. Conceived as a crunk female counterpart to Usher's 'Yeah', the lyrical content goes against the grain, speaking of abstinence, rejecting advances because 'the goodies will stay in the jar.' Critics hailed it as an 'anthem of the summer' and one of the best singles of the year, complementing its dance-feel and beat, and the irony of the 'clever' lyrics. The single performed well worldwide, topping the charts in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, and charting in the top ten of other charts, receiving Platinum certification in the United States.
'1, 2 Step' featuring Missy Elliott was released, as the albums second single. While topping the charts in Canada, it appeared in the top ten of six other countries, and was certified Platinum or Gold in multiple regions. The song was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 48th Grammy Awards. 'Oh' featuring Ludacris was released as the third single on March 5, 2005. The song performed well worldwide, appearing in the top ten of seven charts, and certified either Platinum or Gold in multiple regions.
Following the success of the album, Ciara released a CD/DVD entitled Goodies: The Videos & More in the United States on July 12, 2005 which featured remixes to '1, 2 Step' and 'Oh', including two new songs. The release was certified platinum in the United States. Ciara also served as an opening act for Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005 and went on tour with Chris Brown and Bow Wow on the Holiday Jam Tour in December 2005. She made a guest appearance on Missy Elliott's single 'Lose Control' and also on Bow Wow's single 'Like You', which both peaked at number three in the United States and obtained worldwide success. At the 48th Grammy Awards, Ciara received four nominations including a Grammy award for 'Best New Artist', 'Best Rap/Sung Collaboration' for '1, 2 Step', and 'Best Rap Song' for 'Lose Control' in Elliot's single. She also won 'Best Short Form Music Video' with Elliott for the single.
On December 5, 2006, Ciara released her second studio album, Ciara: The Evolution. According to the singer, the title of the album is 'about so much more than just my personal growth, it's about the evolution of music, the evolution of dance, the evolution of fashion'. The source of the album's creativity such as the sound and edge comes from Ciara in general, though Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna were influences on the album. Ciara worked with a new line of producers including Rodney Jerkins, Pharrell, Bryan-Michael Cox, Will.i.am and many others, as well as working with producers Jazze Pha and Lil Jon who previously worked with the singer on her debut album.
