Christina María Aguilera is an American Singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer, recording artist and actress. Aguilera has sold over 50 million records worldwide making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Aguilera was born in Staten Island(born December 18, 1980), New York, to Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, a sergeant in the US Army at the time, and Shelly Loraine (née Fidler), a Spanish teacher. Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel’s television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993–1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording “Reflection”, the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998).
As a child, Christina Aguilera aspired to be a singer. She was known locally as “the little girl with the big voice”, singing in local talent shows and competitions. She attended Marshall Middle School near Wexford and North Allegheny Intermediate High School until she was later home schooled.
Under the exclusive representation of Steve Kurtz, Aguilera’s self-titled debut album Christina Aguilera was released on August 24, 1999. It reached the top of the Billboard 200 and Canadian album charts, selling eight million copies in the U.S. and over seventeen million copies worldwide. On October 29, 2002, Aguilera’s second English studio album, Stripped, was released. The album sold more than 330,000 copies in the first week and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. Unlike her previous work, the album showcased Aguilera’s raunchier side. After the release of the album, she took part in photoshoots for magazines, many of these photographs featured her nude or semi-nude. Her cover for Rolling Stone, featured the singer only wearing boots and a well-placed electric guitar. It was during this time Aguilera referred to herself as “Xtina”, even getting a tattoo of her nickname on the back of her neck and several piercings.
