Barranquilla, Colombia (1991 – present)

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, “The Queen Of Latin Pop” (born Wednesday, February 2, 1977), known simply as Shakira, is a ten-time Grammy Award-winning and Golden Globe nominated Colombian singer-songwriter, musician, composer, record producer, music-video director, dancer, choreographer and philanthropist who has sold over fifty million records worldwide. She has been in the music industry since 1991, when she released her first album. A child prodigy, she began writing poems and songs at age four and taught herself the guitar at age ten. The death of a half sibling and her father’s reaction to it inspired her to write her first full song at age eight. Little known outside her native Colombia, it wasn’t until 1995 when Shakira took full creative control over her music, a fusion of rock and dance pop with both deeply personal and biting political lyrics. The approach yielded two multiplatinum albums. In 2001, she broke through into the English-speaking market with the release of her first album in that language, Laundry Service, which she wrote and produced herself and which has sold 3 million copies in the United States and 13 million copies worldwide. The album’s massive sales came in large part thanks to the worldwide hit, “Whenever, Wherever” a dance song with unique Andean instrumentation which soon became one of the highest selling singles of the 21st century.
