How it all started: Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981 in McComb, Mississippi to elementary school teacher Lynne Irene Spears and building contractor Jamie Spears as the second of their three children.

Since a young age, Spears was used to singing in public in a baptist church choir, dancing in local shows and was a very good gymnast appearing in state-level competitions. Her inclination towards performing led her to enter an audition for the Disney Channel series The New Mickey Mouse Club. They turned her down since she was too young for the show, but she impressed one of the producers who contacted her with an NY agent.

After 3 years in the Professional Performing Arts School in NYC, appearances in number of off-Broadway shows and participation in the popular Star Search TV show, she returned to audition for The New Mickey Mouse Club again at the age of 11, and along with Justin Timberlake or Christina Aguilera won a part.

The series went on for two years, giving Spears a lot of grounding in singing, dancing and acting. When it ended, she returned to her home town of Kentwood, Louisiana, but not for long. Soon she was sending out her demo to various recording companies and auditioning for pop bands, an effort which was rewarded by a deal with Jive Records. With them, in 1998, she released her smash-hit single „Baby One More Time“ which hit the chart like a storm and remained there for 6 weeks, and was followed in 1999 with Spears‘ debut album „Baby One More Time“ which sealed her success.
