Britney Spears is like many 17 year old girls. She loves shopping at the mall, romance novels, and long strolls on the beach. But there's one thing that sets Britney apart from other 17 years olds: she loves making music.
This bright beautiful teen from Kentwood, Louisiana (pop:1200), has been performing since early childhood in local dance reviews and church choirs. At age 8, she auditioned in Atlanta for the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club. Although she did not get the part, a producer helped her get an agent in New York, where she studied at the Off-Broadway Dance Center and the Professional Performing Arts School. Soo, Britney began appearing in national commercials and off-Broadway plays.
At age 11, Britney finally made it to the Mickey Mouse Club. She stayed on the show for two years before returning to her hometown of Kentwood. After a normal year of high school, Britney began to focus on her future. " It was fun for a while but I started getting really itchy to get out again and see the world."
Britney got on a plane at 15 and headed back to the "Big Apple". An audition for an all-girl vocal group led her to developing a solo career as a pop singer and her eventual rise to fame. Britney's first single, "...Baby One More Time," made its debut at number 17 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. She has been featured in Rolling Stone and Teen People and is currently opening for the band 'N SYNC. with a new album out in 1999, Britney Spears is poised to take the music industry by storm.
