Shakira Pop Sensation


Shakira.
Born in Barranquilla, Columbia.
By the age of seven she was writing song lyrics.
Also at that age is began belly dancing at a Middle Eastern restaurant.
Her unique voice stands out from every other singer.
I love her voice, its very different and distinct.
Her first record signing was with Sony.
In 2000 the artist received the favorite International Artist award from MTV.
Many of you would recognize Shakira singing her smash single "Whenever, Wherever."
Her album "Laundry Service" in 2001 sold 13 million albums.
Another hit single you probably remember her singing is "La Tortura."
With Alejandro Sanz which was #1 on the Hot Latin Tracks Billboard.
The video was aired on VH1 and MTV as the first spanish-language video in a reg rotation.
Shakira became the go-to girl for collaborations for her vocals.
Collaborations with Beyonce, Wyclef, Lil Wayne, and Timberland.
Her album that's out is called She Wolf.
One of her singles on her CD that I love is "Give It Up To Me" ft. Lil Wayne & Timberland.
