Gloria Trevi (born Gloria de los Ángeles Treviño Ruiz on February 15, 1968) is a Mexican pop-rock singer-songwriter. She was described as the "Supreme Diva of the Mexican Pop" by the music channel VH1 and sold over 20 million records.[1]
Biography
Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, she left Monterrey at the age of 12 to pursue a career in Mexico City,[2] where she met her future manager Sergio Andrade. Before that she had sung and danced on the streets for spare change, teaching aerobics and serving quesadillas at a food stand. In 1985, she was a member of a short-lived girl group named Boquitas Pintadas.[2] After the breakup of the band in 1988, Gloria Trevi approached Sergio Andrade for the production of her first solo album, ¿Qué Hago Aquí?.[3]
¿Qué Hago Aquí? (What am I doing here) was released in 1989 and scored a number one hit, "Dr. Psiquiatra". Trevi followed her first record with Tu Ángel de la Guarda (Your guardian angel), which was more successful than the first. "Pelo Suelto" was also successful, reaching number one all over Latin America and Spain. Her third album, Me siento tan sola (I feel SO lonely), was released in 1992 garnering another hit, Zapatos Viejos (Old Shoes). All three albums were recorded in Los Angeles.
In 2000, Trevi, Andrade and backup singer, Maria Raquenel Portillo, were arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on charges of corrupting minors.[4][5] A year later, Trevi announced that she was pregnant while in prison with the father of the child being Andrade, according to DNA tests by the Brazilian authorities. Trevi and her defence claimed that the results of the DNA test were doctored.[6] Trevi was cleared of the charges in 2004 due to lack of evidence after spending four years and eight months in prison.[7]
Trevi married Armando Gómez, a lawyer, in 2009.[8]. She now resides in McAllen, Texas.
