How it all started:
Ciara Harris (Ciara pronounces as "Sierra") was born on October
25, 1985 as the only daughter to the military household of
Carlton (army) and Jackie (air force) Harris. Due to the migrant
nature of her parents' army careers, she moved about quite a lot
when young - born in Austin, Texas, she was growing up in
Germany, New York, California and Nevada before finally settling
down in Atlanta.
Initially she thought about modelling as a career but towards
the end of her high school, watching Destiny's Child performing
on TV, she decided this is what she wanted to do - be a
professional singer - and unlike so many others merely keeping
the unfulfilled dream, she set about to actually make it come
true. With a determination not commonly associated with her age,
she wrote down her goals on a piece of paper and decided to go
for it full steam. Allegedly, she dropped everything not
associated with singing career, even broke up with her
boyfriend, and briefly joined a girl group Hearsay.
Soon however she realized it was a solo career that attracted
her and keeping her original optimism and determination for a
bright future, as she puts it:
"I was like, 'I
don't know about y'all, but I'm about to do something good with
myself.'"
she kept working, writing songs and finally meeting her "musical
soul mate" Jazze Pha who signed her into his Sho' Nuff label.
Through him, she released her first "crunk
&
B" styled single (crunk = crazy and funk), and consequently
same-titled album, Goodies - which started up her fame.
