With the help of Wings Model Management, Ciara took part in her first commercial in her home state of Kentucky.

It was difficult to constantly leave for shooting and auditions at the other end of the continent. But she didn't have to stay in her hometown for long. The producers of the new musical series "Big Time Rush" on the Nickelodeon channel arranged an online casting for her, and 24 hours later, Ciara was already on the set in Los Angeles. The series tells the story of four friends from Minnesota who dream of becoming famous musicians. Ciara played the role of Katie, the younger sister of Kendall (Kendall Schmidt), whose life is turned upside down after moving to Los Angeles. Like her character, Bravo understands what it's like to be away from friends and family.

"Luckily, - shared Ciara, - I was so busy that I had no time to miss home. The series was a success among viewers and was extended for three more seasons, ending in 2013.
