In 2011, Carly Rae Jepsen introduced a song that transformed her life. Initially, her song achieved only modest success in Canada. However, it quickly skyrocketed to fame with its infectious melody and genuine teenage emotions.

Though it's unlikely that her subsequent songs will ever reach the same level of success, Carly remains committed to creating upbeat music for her fans while earning critical acclaim.

Before her rise as a pop sensation, Carly Rae Gibson dedicated herself to studying musical theater at the Canadian College of Performing Arts.

Her rigorous training included tap dancing, acting, voice lessons, and trips to various venues in New York City. In the bustling metropolis, she watched eleven Broadway shows and had the opportunity to meet individuals who would later become her colleagues in the world of entertainment.

Following her breakthrough in the music industry, Carly's dream came true when she secured the lead role in the Broadway musical adaptation of Cinderella.

In a 2019 interview, Carly revealed that she accepted this role to transition from showbiz to the world of theater. She expressed her excitement about this opportunity as a musical theater enthusiast.

After completing her studies at the Canadian College of Performing Arts, Carly faced uncertainty. Despite numerous visits to New York to watch Broadway shows, she remained jobless and adrift. It was then that Carly's high school teacher encouraged her to audition for the fifth season of Canadian Idol.

Though she didn't win the competition, she achieved third place and had the opportunity to tour with other contestants. This constant exposure caught the attention of music producers, ultimately leading her into the studio to record the smash hit.

Carly's colossal success can be attributed to fellow Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. Reportedly, Justin heard her song on Canadian radio and was so captivated by the song that he and his friends spontaneously created a video, lip-syncing a falsetto rendition of it. The video quickly soared to the top of the charts.

Carly possesses a sweet and distinctive voice, one that is both pleasing to the ear and easily recognizable.

Similar to superstar Justin Bieber, Carly relocated from Canada to Los Angeles. She made the move early in her career when her song became a massive hit. However, everything was new to Carly at the time, and she found herself surrounded by strangers. It took her a while to develop an affection for Los Angeles.

Despite her rapid fame and financial success, Carly continues to appreciate life's simple pleasures.
