Kelly Clarkson is best known for her music career, which got started when she was on the TV show “American Idol.” Clarkson’s impressive net worth is due to both her success in the entertainment world and a series of smart financial moves she has made. She was also a successful writer, especially when it came to writing books for kids.
Kelly Clarkson Early Life
Kelly Brianne Clarkson was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 24, 1982. She is the youngest of three children, and when her parents split up, she was separated from her two older siblings. Kelly stayed with her mother, while her brother and sister moved in with other relatives. Clarkson’s early life was shaped a lot by the church, and she was raised as a Southern Baptist.
In middle school, she joined the choir, which was the first time she ever sang. Clarkson took part in many of the school’s musicals and talent shows when she was in high school. Kelly Clarkson could sing well enough to get scholarships to a few universities, but she turned them all down. She wanted to give her full attention to her music career, and she was eager to get started right away.
Kelly Clarkson Career
After she graduated from high school in 2000, Clarkson’s first goal was to record a demo reel. She worked a lot of jobs to pay for the recording sessions, and some record labels were interested. She had a few offers, but she turned them all down because she thought she would be pigeonholed and used for profit.
In 2001, she went to Los Angeles because she thought she would have more chances there. Even though she was able to record a 5-track demo reel, every record label she approached turned her down. Later, she had to go back home because she couldn’t pay her bills. During this hard time, she worked as a hostess at a movie theater and as a waitress for cocktails.
Kelly Clarkson’s friends told her to try out for “American Idol” soon after she got back home. It was the show’s first season, and the producers were still figuring things out as they went along. Clarkson made it to the final round and won the whole contest. This was the start of her real career.
As the winner of “American Idol,” Clarkson was signed to RCA Records by the show’s creator, Simon Fuller. “A Moment Like This,” her first single, eventually went to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. It was the single that sold the most copies in the United States in 2002.
