A Brief Biography
Selena was born April 16, 1971 in Corpus Christi Texas . She was the youngest of three children born to Marcela and Abraham Quintanilla. When Selena was eight, she began a career in a band formed by her father. The band was composed of Selena and her older siblings Abraham junior, who played the base gitarr, and Sister Suzette, who played the drums, and Selena was the singer of the band. The band was called Selena Y Los Dino and she would perform along with her siblings at various bars, restaurants, wedding, fairs, and many other places. The band was very time consuming for Selena and her siblings, so they never had much of a childhood, but they were encouraged to be dedicated musicians because of determination from their father Abraham.
Abraham senior was also a musician in the original grupp called Los Dinos. Selena Y Los Dinos was officially formed in 1981. The grupp was the family business and the main source of income from the family. Alth

Where Are Selena Quintanilla's Siblings Now? A Look at A.B. and Suzette’s Lives After Her Death
Selena Quintanilla’s siblings, A.B. and Suzette, don’t go a day without thinking about their late sister.
The “No Me Queda Más” singer grew up in Lake Jackson, Texas, with her brother and sister before their parents, Abraham and Marcella Quintanilla, relocated their family to Corpus Christie, Texas. When Selena was 6 years old, Abraham noticed her natural singing talent and revamped his former band into Selena y Los Dinos.
With A.B. as the bass player and Suzette on the drums, the siblings began landing gigs around the Lone Star State, and after releasing six albums over four years, Selena became a solo artist in 1988. Still, she didn’t lose her bond with A.B. and Suzette, who supported her dreams and continued to write songs with her and play in her band.
