Daniela Romo (born Teresita Presmanes Corona August 27, 1959) is a Mexican singer/actress. She started out young singing back up to Los Hermanos Zavala before venturing out on stage in shows such as "Gypsy". Daniela eventually ventured out into film and television where she would gain recognition making her film debut in La Casa Del Pelicano at the age of 17. Her first starring role on a television soap opera (or telenovela) was in 1978 in El Ardiente Secreto, which was apparently an adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.
During her "TV era", she would go on talk shows or variety shows of the time and sing. During this time, Chucho Ferrer, a popular producer at the time, saw the potential in Daniela and offered to produce a record. An ambitious 20 year old Daniela took on this adventure and recorded her debut record Tambien yó (also released as Te Pareces tanto a mi in 1979) released by Discos Disa. All of these songs were written by singer/songwriter Lolita De La Colina. The album largely flopped due to the kind of material Daniela was singing (mature balladry) and the public wasn't ready to take on this from such a young singer, a lesson her fellow compatriote Yuri would learn as well when releasing her debut album.
Daniela went on to do more film and TV, again garnering a hit on television with her soap Dejame Vivir from 1982. But Daniela's musical career was just about to take off. In 1983, she traveled to Spain and met Danilo Vaona through her good friend (and supposed boyfriend) Miguel Bose. Danilo was famous at the time as an up and coming young Italian producer behind RAFFAELLA CARRA among others. She recorded "Daniela Romo" under a new label, Hispavox/EMI. Her first single Mentiras caused a stir in Spain as during this time she was hosting a late night talk show in that country...but back home at Mexico, Daniela Romo was about to breakout in a big way!
Her EMI debut album was a mega smash producing her #1 hit singles Mentiras, Celos (written by Jose Luis Perales, Pobre Secretaria (written by Miguel Bose), La Ocasion Para Amarnos and her lovely ballad Corazon, which served as the theme to the telenovela Un Solo Corazon. Daniela's musical career soon devoured all of her free time and for the next 4 years, she would dedicate all her attention to her musical career. in 1984 she released her 3rd album Amor Prohibido which garnered her biggest International hit Yo No Te Pido La Luna. The song was a smash all over Latin America and Spain, where the song was originally released in Italian by Fiordaliso titled Non Voglio Mica La Luna. She followed this record with Dueña de mi corazon, which would be her last Danilo Vaona produced record for 11 years.
1986 was a big year for Daniela Romo. This marked her return to television with arguably her best role to date in a telenovela with El Camino Secreto. The telenovela was a monster smash of that year, coming in 2nd only trailing Cuna de lobos. The theme song to the telenovela was sung by Daniela Romo and was written by Juan Gabriel titled De mi enamorate. This song proved to be Daniela Romo's biggest hit in Mexico, where it spent an astonishing 21 weeks in the #1 position. It also achieved similar status in the USA with the new Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart that debuted on this year. It spent 5 weeks in the top spot in the USA. Her record Mujer De Todos, Mujer De Nadie was released this year containing her smash. It was produced by Difelissatti/J.R. Flores, the midas touch hit men of Mexican 80's pop. This would be her only record produced by this dinamic duo but it produced some of her biggest hits such as the gay anthemic Coco Loco, the ballad Adelante Corazón, Veneno Para Dos and of course the title track.
Daniela's musical career took a turn in 1989 when she released Quiero Amanecer Con Alguien produced by Bebu Silvetti. The record was a musical change, adapting to balladry and simpler arrangements, more in the vein of Adult Contemporary pop music. This was a risky moved but it paid off as this record was a huge hit on an international scale. To this day, the title track remains a classic all over the Spanish world. She would keep recording and in 1993, she signed a new record contract with Melody/Fonovisa where she would release 3 albums over the next 4 years.
Most of the last half of the 90's was quiet for Daniela. During this time, she recorded 2 albums and hosted 2 television shows, Hoy Con Daniela in 1996 and Millón in 2000. She would return to television in the 2000s. First with her role as a villain in El Manantial, then in the light hearted comedic Las Vias Del Amor. She would record an amazing and underlooked record in 2001 titled Ave Fenix. The record was produced by Loris Ceroni and was largely inspired by Cher's comeback effort Believe, adopting her smooth vocals with dance beats. It was largely ignored because Daniela would go on to do telenovelas instead of promoting it.
In 2005, Daniela released Es la nostalgia a collection of acoustic ballads produced by Adrian Posse and that same year, she garnered much praise for her role as the evil Doña Juana in the timeperiod soap Alborada.
In 2006 Daniela produced the musical Cabaret in Mexico and is currently set to star in Victor Victoria on stage.
