ABOUT SELENA GOMEZ:

Selena Gomez made her mark in entertainment by conquering film, music and television at an early age. On the big screen, she began making the transition from young actress to adulthood with such films as the much talked about Harmony Korine film “Spring Breakers.” The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival to critical claim while Gomez’s performance was singled out as a “breakout.” She was most recently seen opposite William H. Macy and Billy Crudup in “Rudderless” which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and wrapped two films “In Dubious Battle” directed by James Franco and “The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving” alongside Paul Rudd. Up next, Gomez will reprise her role as Mavis in Sony’s animated hit “Hotel Transylvania 2” due out this fall.

Gomez’s first solo album “Stars Dance” was released in 2013 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart. The first single from the album “Come and Get It” was an international hit as well her first #1 single on the US Top 40 chart. She then followed up the success of the album with a sold out world tour. "Good For You," the first single from Selena's new album, drops June 22.

Giving back has always been an important element in her life. She was named the youngest goodwill Ambassador for Unicef at 18 years old and has worked tirelessly to support this organization ever since. Selena was honored for her continued support at Variety’s first ever Unite4: Humanity event with the Young Humanitarian Award alongside Bill Clinton. Gomez has traveled to Ghana, Chile and most recently to Nepal as an advocate for some of the world’s most vulnerable children. She has hosted “We Day” in both Vancouver and Chicago for Free The Children, an organization that empowers young people to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change by being active local and global citizens.
