About Selena Gomez

In 2011, Selena Gomez released her third album "When The Sun Comes Down", and in 2010, she got the world on its feet with "A Year Without Rain." A follow-up to her debut album "Kiss & Tell," Selena's gold-certified Hollywood Records debut CD, "A Year Without Rain" shows Gomez and her band, The Scene, in a whole new light, this one pulsating, multicolored and ready for the mirrored ball. She has landed three Billboard Club Play #1's. A Dallas native, Gomez started acting at age 7. She landed her first film role in the 2003 sci-fi action adventure film "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over." She made her mark as an actress playing girl wizard Alex Russo in the Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place," which first premiered in 2007 and won a 2009 Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program. Gomez then made an indelible impression with her starring roles in 2010 comedy "Ramona and Beezus" and this year's "Monte Carlo". Gomez has branched out into fashion with her clothing line, Dream Out Loud, and she is a proud UNICEF ambassador.
