Abraham Isaac Quintanilla Jr. (February 20, 1939 – December 13, 2025) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He was the father and manager of Tejano singer Selena. After Selena's murder on March 31, 1995, Abraham devoted himself to safeguarding and promoting Selena's image through a variety of initiatives. The Quintanilla family has been subjected to public criticism by some fans and journalists who have raised reservations about the commodification of Selena's image, particularly regarding her posthumous releases. Abraham initially found such criticisms hurtful, though stated that he became numb following years of negative comments, saying that it no longer bothered him. Quintanilla was born to a Mexican-American family in Corpus Christi, Texas. He began his music career as a member of the singing group the Dinos in 1956. He left the group in the late 1960s and initially retired from music to raise a family. After discovering Selena's singing talent, he created the band Selena y Los Dinos composed of Selena and her two older siblings, A.B. Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla. Under his management, the group became a major success in the Tejano genre. Abraham was an executive producer of a 1997 biographical film about Selena's life, in which he was portrayed by actor Edward James Olmos. He participated in the development of Selena: The Series (2020–21) on Netflix alongside the Selena y Los Dinos (2025) documentary. In May 2016, Abraham appointed Suzette as his successor and the chief executive of his Q-Productions studios.
