Christina Aguilera has opened up on the "chaotic" environment she dealt with as a child and how it has helped her throughout her career.
The Dirrty singer, 41, spoke on Thursday as she accepted the Spirit of Hope award at the Billboard Latin Music Awards. She confessed that her turbulent childhood helped set her up for what to expect in the industry and said she made a promise to herself to use her "voice and position for something deeper than just making records".
The singer-turned-actress continued: "I wanted my songs to have a genuine purpose and meaning. Having grown up in an environment that was chaotic, I realised that sharing my story was vital in connecting with others who may struggle to have a voice themselves.
