around her area, and even gained some recognition through participating in
those competitions.
Around this time, a local theater producer impressed with her skill
attempted to aid her with her career, and swayed the attentions of a
Columbian Sony executive who auditioned Shakira in a hotel lobby. After
much footwork by this executive to get Shakira’s music heard, she landed a
three-record contract deal, and this was after a surprise performance for
other Sony executives whom she had impressed enough to win them over. In
1991, when she was only fifteen, Shakira created her debut album, but both
her first and second albums weren’t that well received which lead her to go
back to graduate high school.
Fame came to her, though, in Latin America after her third album was
released in 1995. After her fourth album’s release, she became famous in
other countries apart from her own, and this album had more work invested in
it that lent it a more polished production. This also lead to popularity in
the United States, and an appearance on MTV’s Unplugged live performance
shows, where she performed the songs primarily off of this fourth effort.
In March of 2000, Shakira toured Latin America and the United States, and
won an award for best international artist in August of that year.
In 2001, Shakira produced a record that crossed over the language barrier,
and became one of her biggest hits ever due to the wide appeal of the album.
Shakira has since put out both new collections of work alongside
collections of her previous work, and has even put out a combination film
and album documenting her performance and her life onstage, even winning
more awards native to her background and has appeared on numerous musical
shows. After her second English-speaking album was released in 2006, it
became a hit internationally as she began receiving more awards for her
work, and is currently still making satisfying music.
