After graduating high school in her native Corpus Christi, Texas, where she had been involved with cheerleading, modeling, singing, and acting, Cara Elizabeth Quici left for New York and spent four years there where she was a dance-pop vocalist and songwriter prior to moving to Hollywood. Cara had studied piano and voice prior to the released of her first single, "Away from You," on her own label. Quici continued to self-release singles, most of which were playfully irreverent club tracks. Her following radio released "Fight," an "official remake" (don't call it a cover) of Beastie Boys' 1986 single "Fight for Your Right," along with an accompanying video that featured former professional basketball star Dennis Rodman. She has appeared in numerous TV shows and magazines including Maxim, Esquire & FHM.
