Carmen's
talents were evident when she was a child, as she
was to attend the School for Creative and Performing
Arts at only nine years old. In school, Carmen began
taking singing lessons and practicing her vocal
talents. By her teen years, she was performing in
musicals (as a dancer) and doing her own choreographies.
Her ultimate ambition was to go to Los Angeles and
sign a record deal. By the age of fifteen, Carmen
was well on her way to realizing her dream. Carmen
then moved to Minneapolis, where she lived with
her sister, and worked as a clothes model for Target
department stores. After four years, Carmen moved
to Los Angeles, change her name, Tara Leigh Patrick
to Carmen Electra, and only one week after doing
all this, Carmen ran into musical talent, Prince.
Since
Prince liked Carmen's style, he signed her to a
Paisley Park Records label deal in 1992. Unfortunately,
despite all of Prince's efforts in helping Carmen
by promoting her and her new album, her music career
failed miserably. Her single Go-Go Dancer flopped
miserably when it was released. Three years later,
Carmen had renewed her image and appeared on the
Nickelodeon show, All That. She also posed for Playboy
and did a video for them, entitled Play boy Cheerleaders,
and Carmen shows off her "musical" talents by singing
"2-4-6-8". A couple of months later, Lisa Berger,
MTV's vice president, announced that Carmen was
chosen to be Jenny McCarthy's replacement on the
show Singled Out. Carmen's popularity was not that
of Jenny's and the show died out quickly. Another
disapointment for Carmen. Considering she if very
voluptuous and beautiful Baywatch came knocking
on her door. She was asked to replace Pamela Anderson
and she did a great job. |
