Considered singer

Could you tell me what you think about this?


Guess which which celebrity I am thinking about.

This person is both an actor and singer. This person can be considered an actor before a singer or a singer before an actor. She is known equally for both. This person is of Latin Amercian decent.

Could someone tell me If the following 2 sentences are natural and said by a native english speaker? Does sentence 1 mean sentence 2?

1 This person can be considered an actor before a singer or a singer before an actor. 2 She is known equally for both.


Thanks

It sounds like a native speaker might have said it, but it isn't a great sentence. Native speakers sound fluent, but they don't always use the best words when speaker and writing. I don't like the sentence at all.

Consider a phrasing with the word 'primarily'.

... considered primarily an actor or primarily a singer, but she is known equally ...
