Página 1 de 4 BiographyTrevi's life has been as controversial as her career as a singer has been successful.ChildhoodTrevi was born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, to a reportedly violent and impoverished home, where, with the lack of food and money, she struggled to survive. Her dreams of being an entertainer started early: Trevi began to learn and recite poetry at age five. She later took piano and ballet lessons. Trevi's parents divorced when she was 10. There have been allegations that her mother mistreated her and tried to discourage her from being a singer. The veracity of those rumors, however, is not clear -- and is undermined somewhat by the fact that Trevi's mother has publicly pleaded for her daughter to change her wild ways.Thirst for stardomGloria left her home city at the age of 12, arriving at Mexico City, where she met the also controversial manager Sergio Andrade, alleged child molester and slave master. Before meeting Andrade, she worked singing and dancing on the streets for spare change, as well as teaching aerobics and serving tacos at a taco stand. In 1985, she was a member of a short-lived girl group named Boquitas Pintadas (Little Mouths with Lipstick).With Andrade's help, Trevi released her first album in 1989, ¿Y Qué Hago Aquí? (And What Am I Doing Here?). The album scored an instant number one hit for her, Dr. Psiquiatra (Dr. Psychiatrist), and four other songs from that album climbed the charts as well. She soon became known as a challenger to the machismo ideas of many of Mexico's men, breaking social standards and taking a feminist stand point on many of her songs, while exploring sexuality in a way that not many female Mexican entertainers had done before her. She would go out of her way to taunt social conservatives, engaging in antics such as wearing a bandolier of condoms across her bare chest and stripping male members of her audience. Despite the way she carried herself on stage, she was also able to become very popular among Mexican and Latin American children. At that point of her career, it became common for many little girls and teenaged females to dress like Gloria's concert attire. Trevi, however, also showed herself to the public as a girl who could break down and cry at any minute and about anything. Many times during television interviews, the talkshow host would mention her childhood, and she would go from acting happy to spilling her tears from one minute to the next. |
