Dubbed The Mexican Madonna, singer-songwriter Gloria Trevi has been one of Latin America’s most iconic pop artists since the late 1980s.
∙ Following her time with female teen-pop group Boquitas Pintadas, Trevi found fame as a solo act, thanks to her 1989 debut LP, ...Qué Hago Aquí?, and first hit single, “Dr. Psiquiatra.”
∙ Already one of Mexico’s biggest pop singers, she starred in her first film, 1991’s Pelo Suelto, and later did two more: Zapatos Viejos (1993) and Una Papa Sin Catsup (1995).
∙ Una Rosa Blu, her 2007 LP on which she experimented with salsa and cumbia, was a critical and commercial smash that spent more than two years on the Mexican charts.
∙ In 2013, after many years away from TV, she returned to the small screen as the lead in the Mexican telenovela Libre Para Amarte, for which she also composed the theme song.
∙ A Billboard staple, she’s hit No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart four times, including 2017’s Versus, a collaborative collection with Mexican singer Alejandra Guzmán.
∙ Trevi has picked up dozens of award nominations over the years, winning multiple Lo Nuestro, Billboard Latino, and Latin American Music Awards in the process.
