About Selena Gomez

Born July 22, 1992, in Dallas, Texas, Selena Gomez started acting at age seven.

She has made her greatest impact as an actress starring as girl wizard Alex Russo in the hit Disney Channel series "Wizards of Waverly Place," where she met her best friend, actress/singer and fellow Hollywood Records recording artist Demi Lovato.

Selena has volunteered for St Jude's Hospital for children, Disney's Friends for Change and she was twice named youth ambassador for UNICEF, a role that recently took her on a fact-finding trip to Africa.

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 musical ambitions, which led to the recording and release of her 2009 debut album “Kiss & Tell,” featuring the hit single “Naturally.”

We definitely haven’t heard the last from this multi-talented vocal whiz!
