| Born 2nd December 1981, Kentwood, Louisiana, USA. One of
the last teenage superstars of the millennium, 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
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, who
put her in the studio with Eric Foster White. 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! |
