hi

Britney Jean Spears,One of the last teenage superstars of the millennium was born on December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, LA to Jamie and Lynn. Britney has an older brother Brian and a younger Sister Jamie Lynn. At the age of 4, Britney started dancing and entering pagents in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. Her professional career began at the age of 8 when she auditioned for the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club.
Although she was too young for the show, a producer saw her potential and helped her secure an agent in New York City where Britney spent the next three years studying dance and music at the renowned Off-Broadway Dance Center and Professional Performing Arts School. She appeared in a number of off-Broadway productions as a child actor, including Ruthless (1991). She returned to the [ Walt ] Disney Channel for a spot on The Mickey Mouse Club, where she was featured for two years between the ages of 11 and 13.
After her stint on TV, Britney returned home but she still had dreams of making it in the music industry. Armed with desires and a powerful voice, Britney went back to New York when she was 15 and began to make the rounds of record labels. She sang accapella for executives at Jive Records who saw and heard right away that in the teenager, there were the makings of a star. Britney was signed soon after her audition and began work thereafter on what would become Baby One More Time.
Perhaps even more importantly than the accolades and the sales figures, Britney has become an icon to millions of fans worldwide and her infectious brand of pop/R&B has become the template for girl pop. At her young age, Britney Spears still enjoys being a girl. She loves colors that pop and shopping till you drop, romance novels and idyllic days at the beach.
