Gloria Trevi (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈgloɾja ˈtɾeβi]; born Gloria de los Ángeles Treviño Ruiz on February 15, 1968) is a Mexican singer and songwriter.

Early life

Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, Gloria Trevi left Monterrey for Mexico City to pursue her music career.

Career

In 1985, Trevi became a member of a short-lived girl group named Boquitas Pintadas.[1] After the group broke up in 1988, she approached Sergio Andrade for the production of her first solo album, ¿Qué Hago Aquí? ("What am I doing Here?"), which was released in 1989 and scored a number one hit, Dr. Psiquiatra.[2] Trevi was often dubbed as the Madonna of Mexico,[3]

Trevi followed this first record with Tu Ángel de la Guarda ("Your Guardian Angel"), which was even more successful. Pelo Suelto was successful too, reaching number one all over Latin America and in Spain. Her third album, Me siento tan sola ("I Feel So Lonely"), was released in 1992 garnering another hit, Zapatos Viejos ("Old Shoes").

In 1994, she released the singles El Recuento De Los Daños and La papa sin catsup from the album Más Turbada Que Nunca, both hitting the top of the Billboard Latin charts.[4]

In 2000, Trevi, Andrade and backup singer Maria Raquenel Portillo were arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on charges of corrupting minors.[5][6] A year later, while in prison, Trevi announced that she was pregnant. The father was Andrade, according to DNA tests by Brazilian authorities (Trevi and her defense claimed that the results of the DNA test had been doctored).[7] 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 lives in McAllen, Texas. Trevi received the BMI President's Award on March 2, 2016 at the 23rd BMI Latin Awards for her impact on Latin pop.[9]
