Kelly Clarkson Career
After graduation in 2000, Kelly pursued her musical aspirations. With money earned through various odd jobs, she recorded a demo and used it for recording her demo album.
There were ups and downs along the way but these experiences helped shape Kelly into who we know her today: strong and determined.
Despite declining two recording deals with “Jive Records” and “Interscope Records,” Kelly was confident that she could make it in music; eventually moving to Los Angeles in 2001 in search of opportunities.
Kelly eventually quit serving as an extra in TV shows like “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” and “Dharma & Greg.” Eventually she collaborated vocally with lyricist Gerry Goffin and recorded five demo tracks.
In May 2002 she learned about reality talent search show ‘American Idol: The Search for a Superstar’ through friends who encouraged her to audition – from there came fame!
