Nadia's Early Life
Nadia Yvonne López Ayuso was born on June 21, 1983. Her parents are Mario Lopez Hernández and Aurora Ayuso Rodriguez. She also has an older brother named Mario Josuè.
From a very young age, Nadia loved to sing. However, she kept her dream of performing a secret at first. This was because her father was not very supportive of the idea. But with help from her mother, Nadia started to join singing competitions. One of these was called "Fanta-sia Musical."
Soon, Nadia's father saw her talent and began to support her. She started getting jobs as a singer. When she was 14, Nadia worked as a presenter and singer on TV shows. These shows included "Panorama Musical" and "La Guelaguetza." She also sang with her father's mariachi group in a restaurant.
Nadia's Journey on La Academia
In 1998, Nadia won first prize at a big event called the V International Talent and Modeling Convention. She also recorded some music CDs in Oaxaca. One of her notable CDs was "Enamorada de tí," released in 1998.
In 2002, Nadia got a spot on a popular Mexican reality TV show called La Academia. This show was on Televisión Azteca. She sang "Cucurrucucu Paloma" and made it to the final 14 contestants on June 30, 2002. During the show, Nadia performed many songs. She sang songs by famous artists like Rocío Dúrcal, Chayanne, Juan Gabriel, Marisela, and Selena. Even though she finished in fifth place, her amazing performances helped her get a contract with Warner Music. This contract was for her to record her very first CD.
In February 2003, Nadia's first album was released. It was simply called "Nadia." The album included songs like "La differencia" ("The difference"), "La duda" ("The doubt"), and "Te voy a olvidar" ("I'm going to forget you"). This album quickly became very popular. It reached number one in Mexican sales just weeks after it came out. Within a few months, it was certified gold, meaning it sold 100,000 copies!
Nadia was invited back to La Academia in March 2003. This time, it was a special version that brought together contestants from the first and second seasons. The show was now called "Desafio de Estrellas". Nadia was one of the final five contestants. On June 13, Nadia was announced as the runner-up of the show. She performed in front of 30,000 people at the Coca-Cola Auditorium in Monterrey, Mexico. Soon after, Nadia's first album was re-released. This special edition came with a DVD that had an interview with Nadia and three live performances.
Nadia's Career After La Academia
In October 2003, Nadia was nominated for a Premio Oye. This award is like the Mexican version of a Grammy. She was nominated in two categories: "Revelación del año" (album of the year) and "Artista del año" (Artist of the year). She won the "album of the year" award at the ceremony on November 15, 2003. That same month, her first album went platinum. This means it sold more than 150,000 copies!
In early 2004, Nadia went on a short tour in the United States. She was promoting her second album, Contigo sí ("With you, yes"). The main song from this album was used as the theme song for Soñarás. This was a telenovela, or soap opera, that aired on TVAzteca. Nadia's album quickly went gold. Nadia gained many fans not only in Mexico and the United States but also in other Latin countries. These included Guatemala, El Salvador, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic.
Nadia's third album, Endulzame el oido (Sweeten my ears), came out in 2005. This album featured two duets. One was with Bobby Pulido called "Para olvidarte." The other was with the Texan group Costumbre called "El dedo en la llaga."
Her fourth album was Mujer (Woman). It included songs like "Abrazame," "Heridas," and "Eternamente Bella." Nadia released her fifth album, "Un Poco de Tus Besos," on September 24, 2007.
Her sixth album, "A Puro Dolor," was released on March 5, 2008. This album gave Nadia a chance to show her talent in Ranchero music.
On December 3, 2008, Nadia received a Grammy Award nomination. It was in the Best Regional Mexican Album category for her album "A Puro Dolor." This made her one of the first contestants from La Academia to be nominated for such a big award.
