Ciara decided at the age of 14 to pursue a career in music. She auditioned for and joined a vocal group called Hearsay. After differences with the group emerged, she left and at age 15 signed a music publishing deal. Soon after she met producer Jazze Pha, the man Ciara refers to as her "musical soul mate."One Thing Leading To Another: Jazze Pha signed Ciara to his Sho' Nuff record label. After 5 days in the studio they had already put together 5 solid tracks. She co-wrote a song called "Goodies" with Sean Garrett, co-writer of Usher's hit "Yeah!" "Goodies" found its way to the ears of crunk star Lil' Jon, and he agreed to produce the record for release on the LaFace label."Goodies": Released in the summer of 2004, "Goodies" was soon everywhere in pop and r&b music circles. It climbed to the top of both the pop and r&b singles charts. It is a simple, grinding, breathy answer song to Petey Pablo's male posturing on "Freek-a-Leek."Stardom: The success of Ciara's first single prompted quick production of a debut album. Jazze Pha hooked Ciara up with Missy Elliott for collaboration on "1,2 Step." Her record label brought in R. Kelly, and soon the album looked like a who's who of hip hop and r&b. Goodies, the album version, reached #2 on the pop chart as did the single "1,2 Step." A third single, "Oh," climbed the charts to #2 as well.Soon Ciara had to pay a price for the sudden exposure to the glaring spotlights of pop stardom. Rumors began to circulate that Ciara was born male and had sexual reassignment surgery. Additional rumors also circulated that she was lesbian. All of these rumors are believed to be false and have been debunked.In the spring of 2005 Ciara collaborated once again with Missy Elliott on "Lose Control," the first single off Elliott's The Cookbook album. She also contributed vocals to "Like You," a single off the album Wanted by Bow Wow. By late summer "And I," a 4th single from Goodies had been released.In December, 2006, Ciara released her second solo album The Evolution. It included the single "Promise."
