Selena: A Biography

By (author) Skip Press






| book description |

Selena was more than a talented young singer; she was the first modern music artist to bridge the gap between traditional Mexican music and current pop, making her an important artist in the music business in general. Selena: A Biography introduces the Tejano music superstar with a quick overview of her life and career, followed by chapters that discuss her upbringing and family life, her phenomenal success throughout the 1990s, and her untimely death at just 23 in 1995. This easy-to-read and comprehensive biography documents Selena's life and her contributions to music in general. Insightful information regarding the making of the 1997 movie of her life is included as well, documenting how Jennifer Lopez' portrayal of Selena served as the springboard to her own success as a Latina pop artist.
