Belinda Peregrín Schüll (born August 15, 1989 or 1992),[A] commonly known as Belinda, is a Mexican singer, songwriter and actress. She has lived in Mexico City, Mexico since a young age. She was in a musical with her best friend Sara Elizabeth Velazquez. She currently serves as coach of La Voz.

In 2000, she started her career as a child actor at the age of 10 when she was cast as the lead role in the Mexican children's telenovela Amigos x siempre. She later appeared in Aventuras en el tiempo (2001) and Cómplices Al Rescate (2002).[2]

Her self-titled debut studio album Belinda (2003), was a commercial success, selling over 1,1 million copies worldwide.[2] The album spawned many successful singles, including her debut hit single "Lo Siento" and "Vivir", the main theme of the 2004 telenovela Corazones al límite. Following her departure from Sony BMG and management in 2005, Belinda's second album Utopía (2006) earned her two Latin Grammy Awards nominations and was certified platinum in Mexico.[3] It contained the top-ten singles "Ni Freud ni tu mamá", "Bella Traición" and "Luz Sin Gravedad".[4]

Belinda has also appeared in motion pictures, including the Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls 2 (2006), and has dubbed voice roles for The Tale of Despereaux (2008) and Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones (2012). Her return to Mexican telenovelas in Camaleones (2009) and the TV series Mujeres asesinas 3 (2010), inspired her subsequent third album Carpe Diem (2010), which spawned the hit single "Egoísta".[5] Her fourth album Catarsis (2013), debuted at number-one in her native Mexico, and was preceded by the hit singles "En El Amor Hay Que Perdonar" and "En La Obscuridad".[6] In 2017, Belinda was an extra on the film Baywatch, starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.[7]

Together, her four studio albums, singles and soundtracks has sold over 3 million copies making her the third best-selling female Mexican act.[8][9] The international press have named her the "Princess of Latin Pop".[10]

As 2020, she is one of the coaches of the Mexican singing competition show, La Voz on TV Azteca after being acquired from Televisa after 7 seasons.[11][12][13]

Early life

Belinda was born in 1989 or 1992[A] in Madrid, Spain, to a French-Spanish mother, Belinda Schüll Moreno, and a Spanish father, Ignacio Peregrín Gutiérrez. Her maternal grandfather was the late famous French bullfighter, Pierre Schüll. She has a younger brother, Ignacio, born in Mexico City in 1996. Her father owned several factories in Europe. The family moved to Mexico City permanently when Belinda was 4 years old.[14][15]

At a very early age Belinda showed an incredible talent for singing, acting, and writing and shooting home videos. At 10 she was cast in her first telenovela, ¡Amigos x Siempre!, produced by Televisa in Mexico, and she was featured on the soundtrack. Both show and album became huge successes in Latin America. In 2001 she starred in her second telenovela named Aventuras en el Tiempo, also produced by Televisa. The series achieved success in Mexico and many Latin-American countries.

On 27 August 2009 EMI Televisa posted a video teaser of her new song "Sal de Mi Piel", originally announced as the lead single of her yet-untitled third studio album; it was then selected as the main theme of Camaleones. In 2010 she guest-starred on the third season of Mujeres Asesinas, starring in the episode "Anette and Anne, noble", based on the story of the painter Sofia Bassi, in which she shared credits with Issabella Camil and William Levy. She also recorded the song "Contigo en la distancia" for one of the scenes. The episode and song were praised by critics; the episode was one of the series' highest rated.

In February and March 2010 she was featured in collaboration with several Latin artists in "Somos el Mundo" and "Ay Haiti". Both songs were released as charity singles for benefits.

2011–15: Catarsis, collaborations and Catarsis Tour

Belinda announced that she would dedicate 2011 and 2012 to writing and recording for her new album. On 5 June 2012, "En El Amor Hay Que Perdonar" was confirmed as the album's lead single. It was officially released for digital download on 19 June 2012. On 21 July 5 new tracks from the album were leaked online, including next single "I Love You (Te Quiero)" featuring Pitbull alongside "Bailaría Sobre El Fuego", "Litost", "Aguardiente", "Como Si Fuéramos Novios", "Dame Mas", and "Con Los Ojos Cerrados".[29]

"En El Amor Hay Que Perdonar" debuted at number seven on the Mexican Singles Chart and peaked at number one, and stayed for one week.[30] Although not an official single from the album, "Te Voy A Esperar" (which features Juan Magán), for the soundtrack of the film Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones was digitally released in Spain, debuting and staying at number one for ten weeks, receiving the Platinum certification by PROMUSICAE for sales of over 60,000, and was included as a bonus track on the Latin American editions of the album.[31] In Mexico, "Te Voy A Esperar" was only released for airplay and peaked at number seven.[31][32] Catarsis was originally scheduled to be released on 25 September 2012. However, it was pushed back and was released on 2 July 2013.[33][34]

"En la Obscuridad" was released as the second single, it debuted at No. 37 on the Mexican Singles Chart, peaking at number 10, in March 2013. It had an international impact for Belinda's career, peaking at No. 39 in Spain and at No. 65 in South Korea.[31][35] In just two days, the video broke the Latin music record on VEVO, with more than 3 million views.[36]

Belinda embarked on the Catarsis Tour starting in August 2013. Featuring a much bigger production than her past tours, the concert tour lasted almost three years ending in mid 2016 which also saw the singer visiting various festivals throughout Latin America.[37] The tour also saw various "phases" and saw changes to the stage, backdrops, and wardrobes. Most notably there was the "Kastle Ghost Koncept" phase that included a castle set up on the stage and famous singers appearing on stage.[38] Later that year Belinda collaborated with Mexican Rock Band Motel on their song "Sueño de Ti" which was released as the second single from their fourth album Prisma.

2016–present: Film work, shoe line and upcoming fifth album

In March 2016 it was announced that Belinda would be an extra in Baywatch, the film adaptation of the 90's television show of the same name that stars Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson.[39] In June of the same year Belinda was announced as part of the Spanish adaptation of the film Trolls and its 2020 sequel Trolls World Tour, lending her voice to the character Poppy.[40]

Apart from film work, the singer entered the world of fashion and debuted her shoe line, a collaboration with Capa de Ozono, on July 2016 and were officially released in the fall of 2016.[41]

In between the completion of the Catarsis Tour, film work and her shoe line, Belinda announced she was in the song writing process for her fifth album. She posted a preview of a ballad on her social media on May 2016 and promised her new album will fit perfectly into her discography, leading fans to believe she will return to her earlier sound of her first two albums ´Belinda and Utopía.[42] With the start of 2017 the singer revealed that American DJ Steve Aoki was working on her album and shared several videos of the two working together in the studio. On 27 April 2017 she confirmed the lead single of her fifth album to be titled "Bailalo" which was produced by Aoki and was scheduled to be featured in the song's accompanying music video directed and produced by Criss Angel which was never released to the public.[43] However, on February 27, 2020, the music video and audio of the song were leaked on the internet and became the trending topic to all of her fans, though the song is yet to be released on digital platforms.[44] Still focusing on work for her fifth album, Belinda was forced to postpone the shooting of two music videos in Spain, due to the Coronavirus disease that prompted the cancellation of all flights for that country. One of the songs features Spanish singer Juan Magán, who she has previously collaborated with in past projects. Belinda finally talked about the leaking of her music video "Bailalo", describing it as "a video full of colors, talent and Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas".[45]
