Selena Gomez was born on July 22, 1992 in Grand Prairie (Texas). Her mother, Mandy Cornett, was just 16 when she had her. Five years after the little girl was born, Mandy and her husband Ricardo Gomez separated. Now Selena, who is an only child, lives with her mother and her new husband, Brian Teefy. Before giving birth, Selena’s young mother was a beginning actress. Her dream was parked, but soon her little daughter arrived to continue it. And it is that Selena was 10 years old when she debuted on television thanks to the series Barney & Friends . After this debut, Selena made a small foray into film with an entirely supporting role in Spy Kids 3-D Game Over . Her career continued through television paths in minor titles such asWalker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire or Brain Zapped . But luckily for Selena, Disney discovered her on a national tour she took to find new talent. Once she became a Disney girl, she participated in several chapters of the Hannah Montana series , and immediately came the opportunity to star in her own series, The Wizards of Waverly Place (2007). This project has been a success for the Disney Channel that has made its protagonist a star of the chain and a youth idol. Selena is Alex Russo, a young woman who shares with her two brothers of hers and her parents her magical abilities. The success of the series was such that the chain immediately launched the film that was titledWizards of Waverly Place: Caribbean Vacation (2009). She had already starred in her first film Hers Another Cinderella Story (2008) where she demonstrated her ability to sing. She also starred with her friend and network partner Demi Lovato Princess Protection Show (2009), another family-oriented film.

While her work on the series continues, Selena prepares on a musical level, as she really wants to have her own group. Despite the fact that the actress has already sung in several of the productions in which she has participated, she is determined to learn to play various instruments and to compose. Something that fits like a glove in the current profile of a Disney boy. Miley Cyrus , Demi Lovato, the Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron , Vanessa Hudgens , they all act and sing, something that wins over young people around the world. In the case of Selena Gomez, this busy life must be added to her commitment to those most in need. The young actress is involved with various causes and has the honor of being UNICEF’s youngest Goodwill Ambassador.
