"Controversy" is the word that best defines Gloria Trevi. Since the beginning of her career, the singer was characterized for having a rebellious and crazy attitude that dragged the masses. However, it was possibly this same attitude that would eventually get her into trouble that would lead her to lose her freedom. Stay with us and find out all the details of the life of this '90s icon.

The Most Believed Lie

Was Gloria Trevi a rebel since she was a child? Well, no. Contrary to popular belief, Gloria was not a rebellious child nor was she born in a poor home. The singer's mother has stated that her daughter was a quiet and very obedient child. From an early age she was interested in art, so she started practicing ballet.

In addition, her parents were established professionals who provided well for all their children, so Gloria was never in financial need.

It's Lucero's Fault!

Believe it or not, Gloria Trevi's artistic career began thanks to singer and actress, Lucero. In 1982 Televisa held a contest to find the double of "Chispita", a very successful character that Lucerito was playing.

Trevi convinced her mother to accompany her to Mexico City for the audition. To everyone's surprise, when Gloria arrived the other girls started asking her for autographs thinking she was really Lucero.

Winning, as Usual

For obvious reasons Gloria ended up winning the contest and as a prize she received a scholarship to study at the Televisa Training Center. By this time Gloria's illusion of being a great artist had grown quite a bit.

In the company of his mother he moved to Mexico City, where he lived for a year to take advantage of the scholarship. During this time she only had two small appearances in network soap operas, but did not receive any major projects.

Looking for new opportunities to stand out in show business, Gloria met Sergio Andrade, who by that time was one of the most important music producers in Mexico. Sergio had worked with artists such as Cristal, Yuri and even Lucerito.
