As an recording artist, Selena has already
sold more than 10 million singles in the U.S., along with three
RIAA-certified top-ten debuting gold albums, and three #1 Billboard Dance Singles. Her last album, When The Sun Goes Down
with Selena Gomez & The Scene was released June 28, 2011 and was
certified gold in November of that year. Selena embarks on a 56-city
world tour in support of her highly anticipated summer album. The tour
will begin August 14 in Vancouver, BC, and will hit major U.S. markets
including Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston and more. Tickets are
available on Ticketmaster.com.
Selena fans have been in a frenzy since she premiered the single “Come & Get It” from her forthcoming album and made her debut television performance of the song live on the 2013 MTV Movie Awards. She wowed audiences with her performance at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19. The single is available now everywhere. Selena’s recent TV appearances include an April 16 appearance as a guest and performer on Ellen, a performance on Dancing With The Stars that same night, as well as an April 24 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. She gracefully adorned the April cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Selena also performed at the Radio Disney Music Awards on April 27.
Born July 22, 1992 in Dallas, Texas, Selena started acting at age seven when she landed a role in the popular television series “Barney & Friends,” on which was a regular for two seasons. There she met her best friend, actress/singer and fellow Hollywood Records recording artist Demi Lovato. Their connection has endured. “I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to go through so much with Demi,” says Selena. “We have known each other for so long now that we’re more like sisters.”
She landed her first feature film role in 2003, when she was cast in the sci-fi action adventure film “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.” Selena went on to lend her voice to “Horton Hears a Who!” in 2008, and made guest appearances on “Hannah Montana” and “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.”
But she made her greatest impact as an actress starring as girl wizard Alex Russo in the hit Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place,” which premiered in 2007. For their work on the show, Selena and her cast mates won a 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Program. “I don’t think I’m too much like Alex,” Selena says. “She gets into a lot of trouble, and my parents would never let that happen. Overall she’s confident and doesn’t let anyone negative get in her way, which is a good quality to have.”
Her busy schedule in front of the camera did nothing to dampen her
musical dreams. Selena recorded three songs for the “Wizards of Waverly
Place The Movie” soundtrack, as well as tracks for “101 Dalmatians,”
“Another Cinderella Story” and “Tinker Bell.” But she had broader
ambitions. “I have always loved music and write all the time, but to
make a career out of it seemed scary,” she says. “I focused more on
acting at one point, which blessed me with my show and other projects I
had the honor of working on. Now I’m putting more into my music.”
With a new album, hit shows, and more movies on the horizon, she’s not done dreaming. In the years ahead, Selena plans to push her career to astronomical heights.
