Star Selena Gomez ignited at a young age. However, she gained popularity not thanks to the performance of songs, but by participating in the children's series Wizards of Waverly Place on the Disney channel.
Selena during her career managed to realize herself as an actress, singer, model and designer.
Childhood and youth of Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez was born on July 22, 1992 in one of the most prestigious areas of Texas. Until the age of 5, the girl was raised by her mother and father. After her parents divorced, Selena and her mother left for a good life in Los Angeles.
Selena's mother was an actress. Often, her mother took her to shoot in various projects. At the age of 6, the girl announced that she dreams of becoming an actress. Selena lived in an acting environment, she copied the movements of the actors, knew their little secrets and dreamed of getting the lead role in a children's series.
Since her mother was engaged in upbringing alone, Selena practically did not have a normal childhood life. She and her mother did not live in poverty, but they did not live normally either.
Selena Gomez did not attend school, she received her education at home. The girl received a diploma of secondary education only in 2010.
First steps on the big stage
The actress began with filming in primitive series. The first steps on the way to huge popularity were given to her by participation in the film "Another Cinderella Story", where Selena played the main role. After the release of the film, Selena woke up famous. More than 5 million people watched the film on the day of the official release of Another Cinderella Story.
After some time, she took part in the dubbing of the cartoon "Monsters on Vacation". Later, she took part in the Spring Breakers project. Selena's fans took the project ambiguously, since the comedy contained erotic elements. "Fans" were not ready for such a turn.
The singer's musical career dates back to 2008. The producers offered to sign Selena Gomez with Hollywood Records. And she readily accepted the offer. In 2009, the debut album Kiss & Tell was released, which was warmly received by music critics and "fans".
A year after the release of the debut album, she received the "gold" status. The debut album consists of tracks in the style of pop rock, electropop and dance music. The album's lead single was Falling Down.
A year later, the second album of the American singer was released, to which she named A Year Without Rain. It is known that the famous singer Katy Perry helped Selena Gomez to work on her second album. The second disc featured dance-pop and techno tracks.
In the first week after the release of the disc, more than 50 thousand copies were sold. Once in an interview, Selena Gomez admitted: “I can call the second album more mature and deliberate. It has a reggae sound to it." Music critics received the second disc positively.
Billboard magazine noted that the musical component of the tracks came out much stronger than the lyrical one.
Selena Gomez third album
In 2011, Selena Gomez delighted fans with the release of her third album, When the Sun Goes Down. The singer performed the first single on one of the shows. Who Says received a lot of positive feedback, so it became clear that the third album would be sold all over the world.
The third album in the United States of America was sold in 500 thousand copies. In this collection, Selena recorded tracks in the genre of dance-pop, synth-pop and europop.
The single Love You Like a Love Song went platinum more than three times. After the successful creation of the third record, Selena Gomez announced to her "fans" that she would go into acting for a while.
She kept her word, and in 2012 she recorded the track Come & Get It. This composition several times became "platinum".
Three years after the release of the new single, Selena Gomez signed a contract with Interscope Records. In 2015, Selena presented the track I Want You To Know. It became a #1 hit in 36 countries.
In the fall of 2015, the American singer voiced the composition of the Revival album. After the presentation of the new collection, the singer went on tour.

Then came another studio album by the singer Nine Track Mind (2016). In this collection, the singer recorded a track with the famous Charlie Puth. He has long held a leading position in the local American charts. In 2016, the American singer told fans that she was taking a long break. Selena had lupus, so she needed time for treatment and subsequent rehabilitation.
