Kelly Clarkson Biography

Kelly Clarkson is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on April 24, 1982 in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. Pop singer who gained recognition for winning the first American Idol competition in 2002. Her debut single “A Moment Like This” became the song of the year, as well. In 2018, she became the judge on The Voice

She and Carrie Underwood both gained fame after winning American Idol.

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter, actress, author, and television personality. She rose to fame in 2002, after winning the first season of American Idol, which earned her a record deal with RCA Records. Clarkson’s debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and became the country’s best-selling single of 2002. It was followed by the release of her debut studio album, Thankful (2003), which debuted atop the US Billboard 200. Trying to reinvent her image, Clarkson parted ways with Idol management and shifted to pop rock music for her second album, Breakaway (2004). After numerous top 40 radio number-one singles, such as “Since U Been Gone” and “Because of You”, the album sold over 12 million copies worldwide and earned Clarkson two Grammy Awards.

Jon Lisi from PopMatters cited Clarkson as one of the forces of female domination in pop music of the 2000s. He explained that “Clarkson’s anti-sexual image appealed to those who were uncomfortable with Britney Spears’ overt exhibitionism. When Clarkson performed “Since U Been Gone” at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, for instance, she only showed her midriff, and it was clear that she was marketing herself to an alternative group of young females who liked pop music’s conventional sound but didn’t want to be confronted with sexual imagery.” Mickey Rapkin of Billboard magazine, who called Clarkson a role model and compared her vocals to golden-era Aretha Franklin, stated that “[Clarkson] has never shied away from speaking her mind, whether in her propulsive pop anthems or on her filter-free Twitter feed.” Clarkson has also been an influence on numerous other singer-songwriters. Singer Demi Lovato, who cited Clarkson as her musical inspiration, said “[Clarkson] stays out of the tabloids. You hear about her through how talented her music is, not what’s going on in her personal life.” Country music singer Kelsea Ballerini cites Clarkson as her inspiration and her most favorite female artist of all time, calling her “the best vocalist in the whole world.”

She was born to Jeanne and Joseph Clarkson, and has a stepfather named Jimmy Taylor as well as a brother named Jason and sister named Alyssa. She married Brandon Blackstock in 2013, but filed for divorce in 2020. The couple had a daughter named River Rose in June of 2014 and a son named Remington Alexander in April of 2016.

Clarkson was educated at Pauline Hughes Middle School and in the seventh grade, the school’s choir teacher, Cynthia Glenn, overheard her singing in a hallway and asked her to audition for the school choir. Clarkson told her she had never received any professional vocal training. Clarkson graduated from Burleson High School in 2000, where she performed in several musicals, such as Annie Get Your Gun, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Brigadoon. She sang at her high school talent show, after which an audience member shared some inspiring words with her: “God has given you this gift. You’ve got to sing. You’re destined to sing.” Clarkson continued singing and soon started classical training, hoping music would be her ticket to a college scholarship. Upon graduating from high school, Clarkson was offered full scholarships to University of Texas at Austin, University of North Texas, and Berklee College of Music, but later declined them, explaining: “I’ve already written so much music and wanted to try a career on my own” adding, “you’re never too old to go to college.”

Kelly Clarkson is one of the richest Pop Singer from United States. According to our analysis, Wikipedia, Forbes & Business Insider, Kelly Clarkson's net worth $45 Million. (Last Update: December 11, 2023)

She turned down two full-ride scholarships to the University of Texas and the Berklee College of Music, and later turned down two record deals before winning American Idol.

In 2006, she won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the hit song “Since U Been Gone.” She went on to rank on VH1’s list of 100 Greatest Women in Music.

Piece by Piece spawned three singles. The first one, “Heartbeat Song”, peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became a top-ten hit in the UK, Austria, Poland and South Africa. However Clarkson failed to achieve a similar success with the second single, “Invincible”. The third and final single, “Piece by Piece”, debuted and peaked at number eight on the Hot 100 chart, following Clarkson’s emotional performance on the fifteenth season of American Idol. It became her eleventh U.S. top-ten hit and matched “Never Again” as her highest debut on the chart. At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, the album and “Heartbeat Song” was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance, respectively. The following year, the title track also received a nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance.

After graduation, Clarkson worked several jobs to finance a demo, recording material and trying to market it to record labels, but received little response. Clarkson turned down two recording contracts from Jive Records and Interscope Records, stating “They would have completely pigeonholed me as a bubblegum act. I was confident enough that something better would come along.” In 2001, she traveled to Los Angeles, trying to pursue a career in music. She appeared as an extra in a few television series such as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Dharma & Greg and briefly worked with musician Gerry Goffin to record five demo tracks in trying to secure a record deal. According to Clarkson, her early attempts to launch her music career floundered when she was turned down by almost every US record label for sounding ‘too black’. Lack of other career opportunities and a fire incident in her apartment forced Clarkson to return to Burleson, where she worked at a movie theater, promoted Red Bull energy drinks, and worked as a telemarketer and as a co*cktail waitress in a comedy club.

Immediately after winning American Idol, Clarkson was signed to a record deal with RCA Records, 19 Recordings, and S Records by talent manager Simon Fuller, who created American Idol; and music mogul Clive Davis, who was slated to executive-produce her debut album. On September 17, 2002, her debut double-A-side single, “Before Your Love”/”A Moment Like This”, was released. Both songs were performed by Clarkson during the season finale of American Idol. After debuting at number 60 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the single climbed to number 52 the following week, and subsequently ascended to number one. It broke a 38-year-old record set by the British band The Beatles for the biggest leap to number one. It eventually went on to become the best-selling single of 2002 in the United States.

Trying to distance herself from her American Idol image, Clarkson decided to part ways with Fuller and 19 Management and hired the services of talent manager Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm. She reinvented her musical direction by developing a more rock-oriented sound with her second studio album, Breakaway. Davis served as the executive producer for the record, while Clarkson co-wrote six of the tracks with pop and rock songwriters such as former Evanescence band members Ben Moody and David Hodges, Kara DioGuardi, Dr. Luke and Max Martin. Breakaway received critical acclaim, with Erlewine of AllMusic remarking: “What gives Breakaway its spine are the driving, anthemic pop tunes, numbers that sound simultaneously mainstream and youthful, which is a hard trick to pull off, and they are the tracks that illustrate Clarkson is a rare thing in the 2000s: a pop singer who’s neither hip nor square, just solidly and enjoyably in the mainstream.”

Clarkson made her film debut with Guarini with the release of the musical romantic comedy film From Justin to Kelly in June 2003. The film was poorly received by critics and was unsuccessful at the box office, with Clarkson explaining that she was “contractually obligated” to do the film. Between 2002, Clarkson, along with American Idol judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson and hosts Brian Dunkleman and Ryan Seacrest, participated in the season premiere of the eighth season of the television comedy series MADtv. She also portrayed Brenda Lee in two episodes of the television drama American Dreams between 2003 and 2004. On December 25, 2003, Clarkson participated in the television special competition World Idol in London along with the inaugural winners of the several Idol television series around the world. Clarkson was contractually obligated to participate, and performed Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”. She ended up as the runner-up with 97 points, behind the first Norwegian Idol Kurt Nilsen.

Upon returning to Burleson, Clarkson was encouraged by her friends to audition for the inaugural season of the reality television series American Idol: The Search for a Superstar in May 2002. Despite receiving a “golden ticket,” a pass to the Hollywood rounds, in the series premiere, Clarkson made her first appearance during the second episode. In an interview in 2012, Clarkson referred the inaugural season as “ghetto”, explaining: “On our season we were like kids in camp. Nobody knew what to do. The show was ever-changing every day. They did one season of Pop Idol in the UK but America is a very different market. They dropped us off in a mall and said ‘find some clothes to wear on national television’. I am maybe the closest to white trash you can get. What do I buy? White pants I guess? I definitely looked like a co*cktail waitress.” Clarkson went on to win the competition on September 4, 2002, at the Kodak Theatre (now Dolby), earning 58% of the votes against runner-up Justin Guarini.
