Britney Spears |
Born 2nd December 1981, Kentwood, Louisiana,
USA. One of the last teenage superstars of the millennium, Britney Spears
enjoyed her breakthrough success at the end of 1998. She appeared in local dance revues
and church choirs as a young girl, and at the age of eight auditioned for The Mickey Mouse
Club. Although she was too young to join the series, a producer on the show gave her an
introduction to a New York agent. She subsequently spent three summers at the Professional
Performing Arts School Center. She appeared in a number of off-Broadway productions as a
child actor . She returned again for a spot on The Mickey Mouse Club, where she was
featured for two years between the ages of 11 and 13. She began to audition for pop bands
in the New York area, her demo tapes eventually landing on the desk of Jive Records. She
was expensively groomed by Jive. They employed top R&B writer Max Martin (of
Backstreet Boys fame) to produce her debut single, ''... Baby, One More Time'', and an
album of the same title. She toured American venues for a series of concerts sponsored by
US teen magazines and she didnt take too long to be one of the most amazing pop superstar! |
