Carmen Electra was born Tara Patrick on April 20th, 1972 in the small town of White Oak, Ohio. Tara grew up in the town of Cincinnati, Ohio. Tara is of Irish and Native American descent. Her look is exotic but she is a classic beauty. She attended a special school for aspiring actors and performers in Cincinnati, the School for Creative and Performing Arts. Her friends and family knew from early on that this young, small town girl would achieve great accomplishments in the entertainment industry.
Tara Patrick studied dance and theater at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts, as well as music. She did not find many leads for her performing career through the school. She did gain national recognition through a famous photo shoot in the well-known magazine, Playboy. This pictorial made her career skyrocket.
Before appearing in Playboy, Carmen Electra was a musician. She was discovered by Prince while she was auditioning for an all-girl rap band. Carmen did not join the all-girl rap group, but she did sign on with Paisley Park Records. She released her self-titled debut album, Carmen Electra in 1992. Prince worked with her on many projects. She also had an affair with the pop star. Prince was the one who gave Tara Patrick the stage name Carmen Electra, which has stayed with the star to this day.
