Selena's Bio

Welcome To Selena's Bio

Selena was born in Lake Jackson, Texas on April 16, 1971 but she was raised in Corpus Christi Texas. Selena was the youngest of 3 children by Abraham and Marcella Quintanilla. In 1980 while still living in Corpus. Selena,Her older brother A.B and younger sister Suzette started a band called Selena Y Los Dinos. Selena was the singer,her brother A.B was on bass while her little sister Suzette was on drums. Selena's father was the band's manager. They toured Texas that year putting on shows at weddings and small clubs. They finally got signed with EMI Latin and they were on top of the charts in just a few short years. There dreams had finally came true. Selena was named the the No. 1 female Latino star in the United States and Mexico. Sadly just before Selena was going to cross over to the english music world with her major english lanuage album. Her life was cut short by an evil monster named Yolanda Saldivar. Her "So Called" Friend and her fan club president in Corpus Christi Texas on March 31, 1995. Yolanda Saldivar is now and will always be in prison for killing Selena. Justice was done!!! Even though i personally think she should of died also. She shouldnt get the chance to live her life even if its in Prison. But anyway back to the beautiful Selena. After her death,Selena become the 1st singer to have all five Spanish-language albums on the Billboard 200 at one time. Selena also became nominated for a Grammy in 1994 with her album AMOR PROHIBIDO. She won a Grammy a year before that for SELENA LIVE. The New York Times said  Selena was a young artist with unlimited possibilities. Even TIME magazine said Selena was the embodiment of young, smart, hip Mexican-American youth - wearing midriff-baring bustiers and boasting a tight-knit family and a down-to-earth personality. Since Selena's passing their has been a movie made about her,A broadway show about her and her own clothing line. So you see Selena might not be with us in body but she will always be here in sprit. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though Selena is gone she is not forgetten Selena's music continues to top Latin and pop charts throughout the world, and many of her records still stand unbroken. Selena currently holds the #1, #2, and #6 position for the highest attendance records at the Houston Astrodome . Billboard Magazine even declared Selena the "Latin Artist of the Decade". Selena did alot of things before she died,She recorded alot of records,she won a grammy,She opened up a clothing store,She was in fashinon shows. No*one can do what selena did in such a short time. Like I said before even though Selena is gone,she is not forgotten and she will always be loved and missed by all of her fans around the world. We(the fans) keep her alive by listening to her wonderful music and visting fan sites like this one and talking about her,wearing her clothes,watching the movie that was made about her,Going to the new broadway show. So you see Selena is still very much with all of her fans,friends and family even though she isnt here in person.
