Kehidupan awal sunting

Abdul lahir di San Fernando, California dari orang tua Yahudi. Ayah Abdul, Harry Abdul, dilahirkan dalam komunitas Suriah-Yahudi di Aleppo, Suriah, dan dibesarkan di Brasil dan berimigrasi ke Amerika Serikat. Ibunya, pianis konser Lorraine M. Rykiss, tumbuh di salah satu dari dua keluarga Yahudi Kanada di Minnedosa, Manitoba dan memiliki leluhur Yahudi Ashkenazi dari Ukraina. Abdul memiliki saudara perempuan bernama Wendy. Sebagai penari yang rajin, Abdul terinspirasi terhadap karier bisnis pertunjukan oleh Gene Kelly dalam film Singin 'in the Rain. Abdul mulai belajar menari sejak usia dini dalam balet, jazz, dan ketukan. Dia bersekolah di SMA Van Nuys, di mana dia adalah seorang pemandu sorak dan siswa teladan. Pada usia 15, ia menerima beasiswa ke sebuah kamp dansa di dekat Palm Springs, dan pada tahun 1978 muncul dalam film musikal Independen berbiaya rendah, SMP. Pada tahun 1980, ia lulus dari Sekolah Menengah Van Nuys. Abdul belajar siaran di Universitas Negeri California, Northridge. Selama tahun pertamanya, ia terpilih dari 700 kandidat untuk regu pemandu sorak dari tim bola basket Los Angeles Lakers NBA — Laker Girls yang terkenal. Dalam setahun, ia menjadi koreografer kepala.[2]

Karier sunting

Dia menandatangani kontrak dengan Virgin Records yang baru dibentuk oleh Jeff Ayeroff, yang telah bekerja dalam pemasaran di A&M Records dengan Janet Jackson. Meskipun dia adalah penari dan koreografer yang terampil, Abdul adalah penyanyi yang relatif tidak terlatih, dan bekerja dengan berbagai pelatih dan produser rekaman untuk mengembangkan kemampuan vokalnya, dengan jangkauan vokalnya didefinisikan sebagai mezzo-sopran.

Album studio debutnya, Forever Your Girl (1988), akan menjadi album debut paling sukses dalam sejarah pada saat itu, mencapai nomor satu di tangga lagu Billboard 200 setelah 64 minggu (di mana ia akan menghabiskan 10 minggu di nomor satu), dan menetapkan rekor untuk single terbanyak dari album debut untuk mencapai nomor satu di tangga lagu Billboard Hot 100 di Amerika Serikat. Album ini kemudian disertifikasi 7x platinum.[3]

Kehidupan pribadi sunting

Abdul menikah dengan Emilio Estevez dari tahun 1992 hingga 1994. Pada tahun 1994, Abdul mencari pengobatan untuk bulimia nervosa, yang ia ungkap bertahun-tahun kemudian ia pertama kali berkembang sebagai seorang remaja dan hanya meningkat setelah ia menjadi bintang pop, menjelaskan: "Berjuang bulimia telah seperti perang di tubuh saya. Saya dan tubuh saya telah menjadi di dua sisi yang terpisah. Kami belum pernah, sampai saat ini, berada di sisi yang sama. Saya belajar pada usia yang sangat muda saya tidak cocok secara fisik. Saya belajar melalui bertahun-tahun penolakan dari audisi. Saya akan bertanya pada diri sendiri, "Mengapa tidak bisakah aku tinggi dan kurus seperti para penari lainnya? ' Saya merasa gugup dan tidak terkendali, dan yang bisa saya pikirkan hanyalah makanan. Makanan menghilangkan rasa takut dan cemas. Saya akan makan dan kemudian lari ke kamar mandi. Saya berpikir, "Ya Tuhan, aku tidak sempurna. Aku akan pergi." untuk mengecewakan orang-orang. Itulah yang saya pikir. Itu menjadi neraka hidup bagi saya. Saya ingin mendapatkan bantuan. Saya ingin bebas dari menimbang diri saya sendiri pada skala. Apakah saya menjulurkan kepala ke toilet atau berolahraga selama berjam-jam sehari , Saya memuntahkan makanan - dan perasaan. " Abdul menikahi desainer pakaian Brad Beckerman pada tahun 1996, di New England Carousel Museum di Bristol, Connecticut. Mereka bercerai pada tahun 1998, setelah 17 bulan menikah, dengan alasan perbedaan yang tidak dapat didamaikan.[4]
