Band:
Beginnings

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."[5] Gomez later announced, via Twitter, that her band would be called The Scene.[6] It is an "ironic jab" at the people who called the frontwoman "wannabe scene."[6] The band released their debut studio album, KISS & Tell on September 29, 2009.
