Christina Aguilera began working in the music and entertainment industry at a young age.

grew up mainly in the Pittsburgh suburb of Wexford, Pennsylvania , after living in various places around the world. Her father, Fausto Aguilera , is a U.S. Army sergeant of Ecuadorian descent, and her mother, Shelly Loraine Fidler (now known as Shelly Kearns), is a Spanish translator from Newfoundland , Canada , and of remote Irish descent. Aguilera's parents met while Fausto was serving at Earnest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador .

Since Aguilera was able to talk, she set a goal to become a professional singer. As a child she performed at block parties and in talent competitions — defeating opponents with little effort. Aguilera soon gained media attention, and was known to some as "the little girl with the big voice".

On March 15 , 1990 , she appeared on Star Search singing Ella Fitzgerald 's "Sunday Kind of Love", but failed to win. Soon after losing on Star Search , she returned home and appeared on Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV 's "Wake Up with Larry Richert" to perform the same song again. Later on, she would sing "Vision of Love", Mariah Carey 's first single, and astonished everybody in attendance by hitting every riff and note, including Carey's trademark whistle register note. People remarked that the then-ten year old "sounded twenty".

Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang " The Star-Spangled Banner " before Pittsburgh Steelers football and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games. Christina Aguilera's first major role in entertainment came in 1993 when she joined the Disney Channel 's variety show The New Mickey Mouse Club . Her co-stars included Britney Spears , as well as Justin Timberlake , JC Chasez (who went on to join *NSYNC ) and Keri Russell (who would go on to become the star of Felicity ).

She became highly popular due to the success of her debut major-label and self-titled album Christina Aguilera (1999). The album Christina Aguilera produced four hit singles: "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", "I Turn to You", and "Come on over Baby (All I Want Is You)".

Christina Aguilera's second studio album Stripped (2002) continued

the momentum, selling strongly, but it received less favorable reviews and criticism over Aguilera's overtly sexual image.

In 2005 Christina Aguilera married record executive Jordan Bratman, and her third studio album Back to Basics was released in August 2006.

Christina Aguilera is most known for her powerful singing voice, her refined vocal abilities and sense of fashion.

Aguilera joined Justin Timberlake that June on the final leg of his international Justified tour, held in the U.S. This portion of the tour became a co-headliner called the Justified & Stripped Tour. In August, an overhead lighting grid collapsed from the ceiling of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, causing major damage to the sound and video equipment below. Because the collapse occurred hours before the show, only a few stagehands were injured, but a few shows were cancelled or postponed. In the fourth quarter of that year, Aguilera continued to tour internationally without Timberlake, and changed the name of the tour to the Stripped World Tour. She also dyed her hair black. It was one of the top-grossing tours of that year, and sold out most of its venues. The Rolling Stones readers named it the best tour of the year.[45] She became the muse and model for fashion house Versace.[46] She also topped Maxim's Hot 100 list, setting record sales for the issue later saying, "We had fun working with certain clothes, or the lack thereof".[47][48] After much delay, Aguilera's first DVD live-recording from a concert tour, Stripped Live in the UK, was released in November 2004.

In light of the tour's success, another U.S. tour was scheduled to begin in mid 2004 with a new theme. The concerts however was scrapped because of the vocal cord injuries Aguilera suffered shortly before the tour's opening date. In a tribute to Madonna's performance at the inaugural MTV Video Music Awards, Aguilera performed a kiss with the singer-actress at the 2003 edition of the ceremony in August. The incident occurred during the opening performance of Madonna's songs "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" with fellow popstar Britney Spears

Aguilera described her forthcoming album as "short and sweet" and "completely different" from Back to Basics, although she did not elaborate on what the style of the album would be but described it as a "fun album."[65] In a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, Aguilera said her recent birth of her son inspired her upcoming album saying, "I've been brainstorming for the last nine months of my pregnancy. This next album will have a whole new me. A different me." In an interview with Blender magazine, Aguilera stated that recording a song with her once rival Eminem is on her agenda.

Mayor of Hollywood, Johnny Grant, announced that in 2008, Aguilera will get a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Aguilera will be featured on the soundtrack to the film Shine a Light from a live recording of her performance with the Rolling Stones. The soundtrack of the same name will be released on April 1, 2008
