Britney Spears
Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2nd, 1981, in Kentwood, Louisiana. She always knew she wanted to pursue a musical career and took her talents to her local church, where she sang with the choir. She even sang on national television, as a Star Search contestant.
At the age of 8, Britney Spears auditioned for the popular children’s variety show, The New Mickey Mouse Club, but was refused because of her young age. Luckily for Britney, one of the show’s producers saw the young singer’s talent and helped her find an agent in New York City.
