Getting To Know Selena Quintanilla
Abraham Isaac Quintanilla Jr. welcomed the birth of his daughter on April 16, 1971, in the city of Lake Jackson, Texas. He named his daughter Selena Quintanilla who was born one day before Easter. Selena was the definition of a superstar. She was iconic in every right. She was not only seen as an entertainer but was a source of inspiration for millions around the world. She inspired people in a lot of ways through her god-gifted voice and her talent for singing and helped them go through their day. Quintanilla Jr, apart from being a singer, songwriter, and producer himself, was also her daughter’s manager throughout her life. It was quite clear since childhood that Selena had a passion for singing. She started singing when she was six years old. Before Selena started her professional singing career, she did local tours and performed in various restaurants across Lake Jackson.
The family had financial problems and became bankrupt. Quintanilla Jr started a band with his children and named it Selena y Los Dinos. He became the band’s manager, with Selena as the lead singer. The band played on street corners. They also performed at weddings and other events to earn some money. With every performance, the popularity of Selena grew as a singer. The demands for her performances increased as a result. All this made way for Selena to start her professional singing career in 1984 by recording Selena y Los Dinos, her debut LP. She wanted to record English songs at first but instead opted for Tejano music. From there on, she then only recorded Tejano music. Selena holds a number of 67 awards to her name, which she won during her career. The accolades in her famed life include two Grammy Awards and fourteen Billboard Latin Music Awards.
