A woman with loose, disorderly, rebellious, uncontrollable hair. These are the first images to emerge when one hears the name of Gloria Trevi , that Mexican pop star who, in the eighties, started a path to stardom, not without stumbling in a race that almost ended in ignominy.
Sexuality and casualness on stage. Thus were the beginnings of Gloria de los Angeles Treviño Ruiz , born on February 15, 1968, in Monterrey. As a child, she had this concern about being an artist and at 14 years of age took an important step towards achieving that goal. He traveled with his mother to Mexico City to participate in a contest of the Televisa chain that looked for the double of Lucerito. And won. " She looked a lot like her, " they said.
It was the first step. Immediately began to study in the Center of Arts Education of the famous Mexican channel under the orders of the actress and producer Martha Zavaleta . "They did not give all the prizes they said they would give, but the most important thing was to study and be in the place where they could play the doors, " she said in an interview.
In 1984 he met the producer Sergio Andrade , a figure who in the entertainment world had gained considerable fame for being the promoter of several musical careers. He was also a composer and arranger who had the confidence of various artists of the time, including the popular Yuri .
Andrade not only became King Midas of the Trevi race, but also in the cause of his misfortunes. The enthusiastic and smiling teenager participated in an audition for a project that propelled the producer, and was selected. Thus formed part of the quintet of women Boquitas Pintadas . " It was very difficult to be a part. I was always on the tightrope because it was very serious. Greater was the time of trials than lasted the group. There was a lot of gossip, intrigue and envy between the parents, the record company. It disintegrated and my mom wanted me to come back, "said Trevi .
It was an emotional crisis. In addition, as he began to leave adolescence behind, plus amorous disappointments, everything became an intensity of feelings that expressed through songs that he then composed, including " Dr. Psychiatrist ", " I have no clothes " and "¿ What am I going to do without it? ".
Determined to achieve fame, she sought the support of Andrade , who fulfilled and made her a star. In 1989 he premiered his debut feature, entitled ... What do I do here? With the Sony Music label. He won three gold records.
And the dream began. Television programs, interviews, concerts, the agenda every time began to fill with commitments. Her lack of self-confidence and rebellion at that time inevitably made her compare to Madonna . Media like the British Independent have called it the Mexican Madonna . But it is an association that Trevi has rejected. " She's the matter girl, 'I'm the girl in the old shoes ," he said in 2014 in an interview broadcast on the show Al Rojo Vivo .
Since his solo debut in 1989 so far there have been 11 studio albums. The Others are Your Guardian Angel (1991), I Feel So Lonely (1992), More Disturbed Than Ever (1994), If You Take Me With You (1995), How the Universe Is Born (2004), Una rosa blu (2007) , Gloria (2011), Film (2013), Love (2015) and Versus (2017).
" Loose hair, " his great success, was a manifesto that summed up those early years of the singer-songwriter, who also stood as a youthful hymn that reflected that fervor for breaking with established conventions. The name of that song also was used for its debut in the cinema, in 1991, in which it interpreted itself.
In the late 1990s, Trevi's fame was no longer bound by success. In 1998 Aline, the glory by the hell , was published, that related a series of sexual abuse around the circle of Andrade and Trevi , to which they connected with kidnapping, violation and corruption of minors. In 2000, both were arrested in Brazil. The star fell.
Some say she was manipulated, deceived and threatened by Andrade . Others who were judged unjustly by the media. During those turbulent years, he had two children while in prison: Angel Gabriel and Ana Dalay , who was born and died shortly thereafter.
In 2004 she was finally acquitted and again embarks on the path of music, to recover not only lost time, but to cleanse her name and career. He even married the businessman Armando Gómez , with whom he had Miguel Armando . Now the scenarios became his world. Therefore, titled his most recent production Immortal , as to make clear that despite all adversity, its purpose remains firm.
