Jennifer Lopez
Acclaimed singer Jennifer Lopez began singing and dancing at the age of five; her parents encouraged her to take on activities such as singing and dancing as a way to keep her sisters and her out of trouble. She took singing and dancing lessons, and her parents encouraged her to practice at home and in her spare time. At the age of seven, the singer took part in her first music tour, when she traveled with her school’s choir to New York.
Although she was singing from a very young age, in high school, young Jennifer Lopez had other interests. She particularly excelled at athletics and was a member of the school’s gymnastics team and softball team. Lopez also competed on national track championships. In a cay, you can say she is a wasted talent, as she could’ve made for a great athlete, but ultimately she decided to pursue her music career, and the music industry benefited greatly.
