About

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll popularly referred to as the queen of Latin music. She is a Colombian dancer, record producer, singer, songwriter, actress, and philanthropist. Shakira has always had a strong affinity for music. She wrote her first poem and titled it La Rose De crystal/The crystal Rose when she was four. She would sing for her schoolmates, teachers, and nuns in the Catholic school when she was in first grade. She realized she had a passion for performing when she got enlivened after hearing the Doumbek, a traditional drum, for the first time in a restaurant. She started dancing on the table at age 4. She was fondly called 'the belly dancer girl' as she would always demonstrate the dance steps she had learned in school.

Shakira made her first-ever debut album under Sony Music Colombia when she was 13. For most celebrities having a record label's backing guaranteed a rise to stardom.

After taking a break to finish and graduate from high school, Shakira released her third album in 1995, which became a huge success, earning her much prominence in Latin music. Her multi-platinum fifth album, titled 'Laundry service,' which was her first album recorded in English, rose her to stardom on an international level. Her lead single topped record charts of a lot of countries. In 2002, the album was declared the seventh best-selling album in the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Since then, Shakira has released a total of 11 studio albums, two compilation albums, and 68 singles.

She has received several awards, including twelve Latin Grammy awards, three Grammy awards, and seven billboard music awards. She is one of only three female artists to have more than 2 billion views on YouTube. She is the most-streamed Latin artist and the first artist to have performed three times at the FIFA world cup.
