From Childhood to Fame
Britney started dancing and doing
pagents and stuff in her hometown when she was only four years old.
Her musical career started when she was eight years old. She then appeared on
Star Search in 1989 and won! She won again the following year!
At the age of eight ,she tried out for a spot on The Mickey Mouse Club in
Atlanta . At that time she was too young for the show, but the producer of MMC
helped find her an agent in New York City. She then spent the next three
summers studying at the Professional Performing Arts School and at a renown
off-broadway organization. She then began appearing in commercials and an
off-Broadway show called "Ruthless". She did "Ruthless" for eight months and
then auditioned for MMC again.
At age 11 Britney was finally old enough to land a spot on the show.
After two years of successfully performing on the show, she returned to Kentwood.
She did various commercials, such as Maul's Barbeque Sauce, Bell South
and Days Inn.
So she returned to New York to achieve her goal of becoming a singer. She
landed a spot in an all-girl group known as Innosense. Britney then decided that she
wanted to develop a solo career as a pop singer.
One of Jive's senior VPs listened to Britney's voice and loved it. He immediately
signed her to a developmental deal and put her in the studio. The rest is history in
the making and the rise of Britney Jeau Spears.
