Kim Kardashian is expanding her career, from a reality TV star to a singer. And the 30-year-old has already started recording her first album, reported Ace Showbiz online.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was spotted leaving a midtown Manhattan studio last week and a source in the studio said that she has recorded some tracks.

To make her album a big one, Kardashian has reportedly tapped acclaimed music maker The-Dream for the effort.

The-Dream is one of the masterminds behind Rihanna's worldwide hit Umbrella and Beyonce Knowles' chartbuster Single Ladies.

The 30-year-old star who shot to fame after a sex tape featuring her released in 2005, has since made a fortune out of reality shows and endorsement deals.
