Life and career

1971–1981: Early life and career beginnings

Paulina Susana Rubio Dosamantes was born on June 17, 1971 in Mexico City, Mexico.[22] Her father, Enrique Rubio González (1943-2011), was a lawyer of Spanish descent; Her mother is Susana Dosamantes, a consecrated Mexican actress.[23] Dosamantes had lived in Guadalajara, Jalisco until adolescence when she decided to become a film actress and, just before Rubio's birth, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1970s in Mexico.[24] Rubio's younger brother, Enrique Jr. Rubio, is an important lawyer and socialite, while her half sister Ana Paola Rubio who keeping out of the spotlight. Her musical legacy comes from his grandmother and great-grandmother, who were a mezzo-soprano singer and pianist, respectively.[25]

As Rubio has stated of herself "I have been famous since I was born" and according to her mother, Rubio grew up among the filming locations while she worked. A ten-year-old, accompanied by younger brother Enrique Jr. they got a minor role in film El Día del Compadre (1983), filmed in early 1980s. Rubio was taking singing, acting, jazz, painting, and dance lessons while enrolled at what is now the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) in Mexico.[26] After two years there, Rubio's parents were contacted by Julisa and Guillermo del Bosque for approval of Rubio's joining a band that would be formed by children from the center.

1982–1991: Timbiriche era

The Spanish singer Miguel Bosé was Timbiriche's official godfather.

The name of musical group Timbiriche was inspired by a table game known in the United States as Dots and Boxes. The idea of naming the musical group comes in response to the Spanish children's musical group Parchís. Timbiriche was created by Victor Hugo O'Farril, Luis de Llano Macedo and María Eugenia "La Gorda" Galindo. Rubio began her singing career Timbiriche made its official debut on 30 April 1982 on the Mexican television show Siempre en Domingo, featuring Spanish singer Miguel Bosé as its godfather.[27] The original band had seven members: Alix Bauer, Benny Ibarra, Diego Schoening, Mariana Garza, Paulina Rubio, Sasha Sökol, and Erik Rubín (who joined a year later). After the success of his first homonymous albums, Timbiriche and La Banda Timbiriche, both from 1982, the following year he released a live album that led the group to recognition throughout Latin America. En Concierto was also a hit with hits covers by Anglo-Saxon artists, including "Mickey" by Toni Basil[28] that the group reinterpreted in Spanish dedicated especially to Miguel Bosé as a way of thanking him for his sponsorship.

In 1984, Timbiriche participated in the musical Vaselina (Spanish adaptation of the American musical Grease) and edit the album Timbiriche Vaselina. At that time the group began to internationalize in Latin America with hits such as "Soy Un Desastre", "Corro, Vuelo, Me Acelero", "Teléfono" and "Me Plantó" that were consecrated as their first number one singles hits in Mexico. The singles mentioned belonged to the album Timbiriche Rock Show which received platinum disc for 500,000 copies sold.[29] Also, new members join Timbiriche as Eduardo Capetillo, Thalía and Edith Márquez.

Timbiriche's musical evolution took a turn "from children to teenagers" and is reflected in the hit albums Timbiriche VII and Timbiriche VIII & IX that sold 800,000[30][31] and 500,000[32] copies in Mexico, respectively. These albums are considered Timbiriche's greatest commercial achievements and have been included in the best-selling albums in Latin America.[33] At that time, Rubio began to excel as one of the most notorious members and her voice excels in songs such as "Rompecabezas", "Persecución en la Ciudad", "Acelerar" and "Me Estoy Volviendo Loca". At the same time of developing as a singer, Rubio begins to receive other proposals in the artistic field and she landed her first role in 1988 as the villain Paulina Montenegro in the telenovela Pasión y Poder.

The tenth and last album that Paulina Rubio recorded as a member of Timbiriche was released in 1990 (Timbiriche X) and despite the fact that she was already the leader of the group, in 1991 Rubio left Timbiriche to focus on a solo career, and moved to Spain to begin work on her first album.

1992–1999: Her first albums and success with EMI Music

In early 1992, Rubio participated in the soap opera Baila Conmigo, based in the late 50s and early 60s at the time of Rock and Roll. She played the role of Andre, a rich and capricious girl who was used to having everything at her disposal. The soap opera producer was Luis de Llano, who recruited a cast of youth stars who were just beginning their solo career in music and acting.[34] The success of Baila Conmigo gave the protagonists the possibility of recording a special album and received 9 nominations for the 1993 TVyNovelas Awards, including "Actress Revelation" for Rubio, but lost to Yolanda Andrade.[35] This was a boost and enrichment for Paulina Rubio's career as a solo artist and part of the concept of her debut album is influenced by the same concept of the soap opera.

In June 1992, Rubio signed to a recording contract with Capitol Latin. Her first single, "Mío", spent several weeks at number one on the Mexican singles charts and became one of the country's highest-selling single in the 1990s and was certified gold.[36] In United States "Mío" reached number three on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart. Its success resulted in Rubio becoming Timbiriche's first solo singer to enter Billboard charts with great success and repeated the formula at the release of her debut album La Chica Dorada, who released in October 1992 and peak at number three on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart on the week of June 26, 1993.[37]

Three days before the official release of the album, Rubio appeared on the legendary TV show Siempre en Domingo with Raúl Velasco to publicize his new stage in the music industry. The famous television host commented that "it was a great privilege to have presented Paulina as a solo singer". At the beginning of her solo career, the press and critics were very hard on Paulina Rubio, and many pronounced her as an "Madonna wannabe" due to the great influence of the young artist with the American entertainer, but with the success from their first single and the album sales, the tabloids considered it as the new youth pop icon in Mexico.

In 1993, she released her sophomore effort, 24 Kilates, which sold 150,000 copies in two weeks of its release. The album peaked at No. 1 in Mexico. "Nieva, Nieva" was released as the first single which reached No. 27 on the Hot Latin Tracks and became Paulina's first No. 1 single in Mexico. "Él Me Engañó" and "Asunto de Dos" were released in Mexico and peaked at No. 1 and No. 5 respectively. The same year, Rubio received two nominations for the 1993 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards for the categories Female Pop Artist and New Pop Artist of the Year.[38]

In 1995, El Tiempo Es Oro was released. It included the hits "Te Daría Mi Vida" and "Nada de Ti" which peaked at number one in Mexico while "Hoy Te Dejé De Amar" peaked at number nine. Also included on the album was the theme song and title-track to the 1994 Mexican film Bésame En La Boca, in which she also starred as the lead role. In 1996, she released her last album under EMI Latin, Planeta Paulina, which included the hit single "Enamorada" which peaked at No. 2 in Mexico. "Pobre Niña Rica" was featured as the theme song of the 1995 telenovela in which she also starred as Alma, Pobre Niña Rica. Rubio also recorded English versions of several songs which did not appear on the album. Some of these songs were released years later on the hits compilation I'm So in Love: Grandes Éxitos. The first single off the album "Siempre Tuya Desde La Raíz" peaked at No. 1 in Mexico while "Sólo Por Ti" peaked at #7.

EMI declined to release Paulina's first English crossover album, which was supposed to be the English version of the Planeta Paulina album due to weak sales of the Spanish version. Because of that, Rubio got in a legal battle against EMI for not fulfilling what they had already planned. She eventually had to pay money so EMI could let her leave the record company.[39]

After the release of Planeta Paulina, Rubio took a break on her career. Except for her participation in 1998's successful Reencuentro Tour with Timbiriche, Rubio was absent from the music scene for nearly four years.

Work on Rubio's tenth studio album, Brava!, started in 2010. At the time, she was writing songs with Nelly Furtado and Cobra Starship, while also working with Moroccan producer RedOne.[68] She said that the reason she wanted to do a Spanglish album is that she wanted to mix the language of her home Mexico and the United States. "I grew up in Mexico, but I've always been between the United States and my country. This is all done with a wink and a nod to 'Spanglish' culture, which continues to grow and has a foot in both worlds", the singer said.[69] She stated in a radio interview that this album would be different from all her other albums because being a mother and the death of her father had inspired her tremendously. She also said that 70% of the album's songs would be in Spanish, while only 30% in English.[70]

Brava! was released on 15 November 2011, with 10 tracks, seven of which were in Spanish, while three in English.[71] "Me Gustas Tanto", the lead single, was to be released on 13 September 2011, but was released a week prior.[72][73] "Me voy" was released as the album's second official single in Latin America on 14 February 2012,[74] with a re-worked version featuring the Mexican singer-songwriter Espinoza Paz.

It will be a true warrior, has something from all genres, from banda to pop, collaborations with DJ Snake and Selena Gomez. I tried to keep a key element: that the music is danceable".[84] Gomez representatives later denied that she worked with Rubio.

Rubio then continued to release multiple singles "Si Te Vas (Paulina Rubio song)", "Me Quema" and " Desire (Me Tienes Loquita)" before revealing the title and release date of her new album, Deseo, announcing it will be released on September 14, 2018.

By directing funds through other pre-existing organizations, such as The Lili Claire Foundation, children will receive a unique and comprehensive blend of support services including medical and behavioral genetics clinics, psychosocial counseling, advocacy services, information libraries, and community outreach that will ultimately help improve the lives of families and children living with neurogenetic disorders.[97]

In 2010, Rubio hosted the Paulina & Friends exclusive benefit concert for The Lili Claire Foundation which showcased musicians such as Luis Fonsi, Aleks Syntek, Noel Schajris, Reik and Fanny Lú. The purpose of the event was to raise funds to build a family resource center.

If it was a girl, she would be named after Rubio's great-grandmother, Micaela.[101] On 15 September 2010 Paulina announced on her Twitter page that she was expecting a boy.[102] On Sunday, 14 November 2010, Rubio and her husband welcomed their first child, a boy named Andrea Nicolás Vallejo-Nájera Rubio in Miami, Florida.[103] Prior to the birth, Rubio had planned on having a water birth at home, but was rushed to the hospital and spent the weekend with doctors working to stabilize the health of the baby. Hospital staff tried to send Rubio home so that she could realize her dream of a natural home birth, but the complications led her medical team to schedule a c-section.[104]

On 11 January 2011, her father, Enrique Rubio González, died at the age of 67 in a Mexico City hospital.[105] A consensus of various news sources attributed his death to kidney failure.

In March 2012, Rubio's husband told Hola! that he and the singer were separating after nearly five years of marriage. "It has been a decision by both of us, though it’s possible that I have been more firm when it came to carrying it out," he said in an interview with the Spanish publication. "I have the feeling there is no going back", Vallejo-Nájera said, disclosing that he and Rubio had been living apart since November and that their only communication with each other was about their son, Andrea Nicolás, born in November 2010. Nevertheless, Colate said that he will always be "grateful to Paulina" for their time together. The divorce was finalized in March 2013.[106]

In 2013, Rubio began dating Mexican singer Gerardo Bazúa, a former contestant from her team on La Voz... México.[107] In early 2015, reports confirmed that Rubio had broken up with Bazúa because she found out he was cheating on her,[108] although on 5 March 2016, Rubio gave birth to their second son in Miami at Mercy Hospital.
