Amanda Dawn Cornett and Ricardo Joel Gomez welcomed Selena Gomez into the world on July 22, 1992 in Grand Prairie, Texas, the United States. Her mother is Italian-American and her father is Mexican-American. Selena Quintanilla, a late Tejano singer who Gomez’s mother liked, was the inspiration for her name.
Selena Gomez began acting auditions at an early age and displayed enthusiasm in the entertainment business. Additionally, she took part in a number of talent competitions, which ultimately led to the Disney Channel discovering her.
Rise to Fame:
In 2004, Selena Gomez received her big break when she was hired to play the recurring role of “Gianna” on the hit children’s program “Barney & Friends.” Despite its small size, the position gave her invaluable exposure and experience in the entertainment industry.
2007 saw Selena Gomez acquire the title role of “Alex Russo” in the Disney Channel sitcom “Wizards of Waverly Place.” The program was a resounding success, bringing Gomez wide-spread notoriety. She became a fan favorite among the show’s fans thanks to her natural acting talent and endearing attitude.

Selena Gomez ‘s musical career began with the formation of her band, Selena Gomez & the Scene. “Kiss & Tell,” the band’s debut album, was highly welcomed by both critics and fans when it was released in 2009. “Naturally,” the album’s debut song, was a financial triumph and launched Gomez into the music industry.
Selena Gomez and her band have continued to put out popular albums throughout the years, including “When the Sun Goes Down” (2011) and “A Year Without Rain” (2010). Love You Like a Love Song, Who Says, and Come & Get It are some of her most well-known songs from this era.
