Selena: Father
built 650 days ago
One of the leading stars of Tejano music, Selena first began publicly performing at the age of 10, with a band which included both her siblings and her father. As Selena and Los Dinos, they would entertain patrons of her father's restaurant in Texas, eventually releasing their first album in 1983. By 1986, Selena's steadily-growing popularity earned her both Female Vocalist of the Year and Performer of the Year honors at the Tejano Music Awards. This led to the interest of EMI Latin, who signed her to a lucrative recording contract in 1989.

While Selena cultivated a sexy stage presence -- "like Madonna, but not so vulgar," said fan Arlene Tarango of Austin -- she was ... known for her focus on family values. She began singing at age 5 in Corpus Christi with Los Dinos, the band started by her father, who is now her manager; her husband, Chris Perez, played guitar in her band. They had no children.

In 1988, Selena met Chris Perez, who had his own band. Two years later, the Quintanilla family hired him to play in Selena's band and they quickly fell in love. At first her father didn't approve of the relationship between Perez and Selena, and went as far as firing Perez from the band. He eventually came to accept the relationship, telling Selena that Perez could come back only if they married and moved next door to the family home.[8] Selena accepted, and on April 2 1992 Selena and Perez married in Nueces County, Texas, and Selena added her new husband's surname to her own.

Selena then elopes with her boyfriend Chris Perez (Jon Seda), which is a huge problem for Selena because her father does not want men to interfere with her blossoming career. When they return as a newlywed couple, Abraham finally accepts the fact that they are in love and married.

Concerning Brom's description, it's questionable as to why Selena would fall in love with Morzan, as they were very different. However, in Eragon, Murtagh says that his father did not love Selena, only showed her affection while keeping his true self hidden. He then manipulated her, and she followed, loving his exterior but not knowing of his interior.
