Victoria Justice’s early music career and solo debut

Victoria Justice kicked off her music career by adding songs to soundtracks for her acting projects, including the 2009 Spectacular! album. She gained early commercial success with the Victorious soundtrack and its accompanying EPs, which both made it onto the Billboard 200.
