===Beginnings===
During an interview with Jocelyn Vena, of MTV in August 2008, she said of her future music career that: "I'm going to be in a band — no Selena Gomez stuff. I'm not going to be a solo artist. I think that I don't want my name attached to it. I will be singing, and I'm learning drums and playing electric guitar." Gomez along with her band, Selena Gomez & the Scene released their debut studio album, ''[[Kiss & Tell (Selena Gomez & the Scene album)|Kiss & Tell]]'' on September 29, 2009. The album debuted at number nine on the U.S. [[Billboard 200]] with sales of over 66,000 copies in its first week of release.
