She has released music as part of the band Selena Gomez & the Scene, including the songs “Who Says” and “Love You Like a Love Song,” and as a solo artist, including the songs “Come & Get It,” “Good for You,” “Same Old Love,” “Hands to Myself,” “Love You to Love Me,” and, in a featured role, “Calm Down.” She founded the film/television production company July Moon Productions, cosmetics company Rare Beauty, and makeup, clothing, handbag, and fragrance lines. She has been a UNICEF ambassador, and worked with charities focusing on mental health and gender, racial, and LGBT issues.
She is the daughter of Mandy Dawn (Cornett), a stage actress, and Ricardo Joel Gomez. Her father is of Mexican descent, with roots in Monterrey. Her mother was adopted by Debbie Jean (Gibson) and David Michael Cornett, and was raised in Texas. Selena has stated that, later in life, her mother found out that, by birth, she “has Italian roots.” It is not clear if her mother is of fully or partially Italian background; she has been referred to as both in press reports. Selena’s mother’s adoptive parents are mostly of British Isles descent. David was born in Texas, and is the son of Ernest William Cornett and Helen Elizabeth Spangler. Debbie is the daughter of J. C. Gibson and Lois Maybell Pierce.
Selena’s parents separated when she was five years old, and her mother later married Brian Teefy.
She was named after Tejano singer and actress Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Selena has released a Spanish-language EP.
Selena’s paternal grandfather is named José Ricardo Gómez.
Selena’s paternal grandmother is named María Eugenia “Mary” Ramos.
