Considered among the most influential Latin artists of all time and is credited for catapulting Tejano music into the mainstream market, Selena, known as the Queen of Tejano Music, contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century. Initially refused bookings at venues across Texas for performing Tejano music (then a male-dominated music genre), Selena's popularity exploded after she won the Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of The Year in 1987, which she won nine consecutive times before her murder in 1995.
