Music Career

Early Success (1985–1995)

In 1985, Gloria Trevi joined a girl group called Boquitas Pintadas. The group was together for a short time. After they broke up in 1988, she worked with Sergio Andrade to create her first solo album.

Her first album, ¿Qué Hago Aquí? (What Am I Doing Here?), came out in 1989. It had a number one hit song across Latin America called "Dr. Psiquiatra." Many people called Trevi the Madonna of Mexico because of her bold style.

In 1991, Trevi released her second album, Tu Ángel de la Guarda (Your Guardian Angel). This album is often seen as one of her best. The main song from the album, "Pelo Suelto," became a huge success worldwide. It reached number 1 in many Latin American countries and in Spain. Billboard magazine even put Tu Ángel de la Guarda on their list of the greatest Latin albums ever.

Her third album, Me Siento Tan Sola (I Feel So Lonely), was released in 1992. It included another hit song, "Zapatos Viejos." Trevi also starred in a movie with the same name in 1993.

In 1994, she released two popular songs, "El Recuento De Los Daños" and "La Papa Sin Catsup." These songs were from her fourth album, Más Turbada Que Nunca (More Turbulent than Ever). Both songs topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums charts.

In December 1995, Trevi released her last album of the 1990s, Si Me Llevas Contigo (If You Take Me with You). This album had two moderate hits: "Ella Que Nunca Fue Ella" and "Si Me Llevas Contigo." On March 13, 1996, Trevi announced she would take a break from music. She performed her last two concerts at the National Auditorium on March 16 and 17.

During award season, Trevi won Female Artist of the Year at the important Premio Lo Nuestro. She also won Female Airplay Song of the Year for "Cinco Minutos" at the Billboard Music Awards. In 2010, Trevi released her eighth album, also called Gloria. This album included successful songs like "Vestida de Azucar," "Fuego con Fuego," "Me Río de Ti," "La Noche," and "Esa Hembra es Mala." "Esa Hembra es Mala" was even used as the main song for the TV show Teresa.

In 2013, Trevi released her tenth album, De Pelicula. The song "No Querías Lastimarme" from this album was a big hit. It reached the top ten on the Latin Billboard charts and was number one in several Latin American countries.

In 2015, Trevi started a new project that became her eleventh album, El Amor. This album featured covers of popular Latin American love songs, along with some of Trevi's own songs and new ones. For this album, Trevi created two different characters: Mr. Trevi and Mrs. Gloria. The album quickly reached the top of the Billboard charts.
