Shakira has a reputation for using wireless technology to connect with her fans. Last year, she was one of the first musicians to offer exclusive content to Verizon Wireless V CAST customers. Now, Shakira and Verizon Wireless are taking their partnership to new heights by introducing an unprecedented level of interactivity between the singer and her fans during her “Oral Fixation” tour. Further information about these exciting initiatives will be revealed by Verizon later this week.
Shakira is a self-taught singer/songwriter who has won five Grammy Awards and is known for her electrifying performances on stage. Despite having no formal language training, she can fluently speak five different languages and has sold over 33 million albums worldwide since signing her first recording contract back in 1991. Her career in the United States took off in 2001 with the release of “Laundry Service,” which sold more than 13 million copies globally. She has also won numerous awards, including three Billboard Music Awards, an American Music Award, and a Best Female Artist trophy at the MTV Video Music Awards.
