Selena Gomez may have started her career as an actress, starring in a
Disney Channel series at the age of 15, but she soon showed that her
musical talents were perhaps even stronger as she piled up hit singles
and chart-topping albums. Born in 1992, she grew up in Texas and got her
first break as a cast member on the kids' TV show Barney and Friends.
Gomez landed minor roles in several other TV programs, but it was her
affiliation with the Disney Channel -- who discovered her during a
nationwide talent search in 2004 -- that officially jump-started her
acting career. Guest appearances on The Suite Life of Zach and Cody and
Hannah Montana paved the way for Gomez's own show, The Wizards of
Waverly Place, which premiered in October 2007 and quickly became one of
the network's most popular programs. Dubbed "the next Miley Cyrus,"
Gomez began juggling her commitment to The Wizards of Waverly Place with
additional projects, including movie roles and a burgeoning singing
career.
