Kelly Clarkson’s Profession & Career

Clarkson was encouraged to pursue her musical dreams after graduating in 2000. She then used the money she saved by doing odd jobs to record a demo. She was so confident in her ability to make it big in the music industry that she turned down two recording contracts from ‘Jive Records’ and ‘Interscope Records’ at the time. In 2001, she relocated to Los Angeles in search of better opportunities. She then quit working as an extra in television shows like ‘Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and ‘Dharma & Greg.’ She eventually needs to work as a vocalist with songwriter Gerry Goffin, for whom she recorded five demo tracks.

She was devastated when most US recording studios turned her down, claiming that her voice was ‘too black.’ After a disastrous fireplace, she returned to Texas, heartbroken, and began working as a telemarketer and waitress. Kelly Clarkson learned about the upcoming talent show, ‘American Idol: The Search for a Superstar,’ from her friends, who encouraged her to audition in May 2020. She also received a ‘golden ticket,’ access to the Hollywood rounds, and won the first season of the show on September 4, 2002. Her successful run on the show earned her a million-dollar record contract with ‘RCA Records.’

On September 17, 2002, she debuted with the double-A-side singles ‘Before Your Love’ and ‘A Moment Like This.’ It was the best-selling single of 2002, and both singles topped the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ chart for a record 52 weeks. On June 22, 2007, she released her third studio album, ‘My December,’ which featured darker themes and a heavier rock sound.

More on her professional background

However, it sparked a feud with her producer and music mogul, Clive Davis, who wanted her to record songs with broader appeal. Even though the album received positive reviews, its sales numbers suffered due to a lack of promotion.

Clarkson, who began co-writing her songs on her third album, continued to do so on her fourth album, ‘All I Ever Wanted.’ It was released on March 10, 2009. She condemned darker themes for this album and collaborated with a number of well-known artists. It also contributed to its debut at number one on the ‘Billboard 200.’ Her album ‘Thankful’ was released on April 15, 2003. Critics gave the album positive reviews.

She received critical acclaim for her live performance of ‘My Country, ‘Tis of Thee’ at US President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in January 2013.

Her next album, ‘Wrapped in Red,’ was released on October 25, 2013, and featured five original songs co-written by her. ‘Piece by Piece,’ her seventh studio album, tells a single story of heartbreak through its songs. On February 27, 2015, it became her third album to top the ‘Billboard 200’ chart. Her singles ‘Love So Soft’ and ‘Move You’ were released in 2017. She co-starred with Oprah Winfrey, Steven Yeun, and Tyler Perry in the animated film ‘The Star,’ which is based on the birth of Jesus. She also appeared as a teacher on the show ‘The Voice.’ On March 27, 2019, she released ‘Broken and Beautiful,’ the lead single from the ‘Uglydolls: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.’
