Gloria Trevi Quote

Gloria de los Ángeles Treviño Ruiz (born February 15, 1968), known professionally as Gloria Trevi, is a Mexican singer, songwriter and actress. She is known for her emotional lyrics, performances, and lasting influence on Latin music, being dubbed the "Mexican Queen of Pop" by Rolling Stone. She is also known for the media coverage surrounding the Trevi–Andrade scandal, involving sexual abuse and forced labour led by her former manager-producer Sergio Andrade.
At 15, she moved to Mexico City to study performing arts at Televisa's CEA. In 1984, she met record producer Sergio Andrade, who joined her to his girl group project Boquitas Pintadas, which disbanded after one unsuccessful album the same year. Trevi later tracked down Andrade and recorded a demo in Los Angeles, which eventually led to her debut album ¿Qué Hago Aquí? (1989), that contained her breakthrough single "Dr. Psiquiatra" which rose her to fame. In the 1990s, Trevi released four successful albums—Tu Ángel de la Guarda (1991), Me Siento Tan Sola (1992), Más Turbada Que Nunca (1994), and Si Me Llevas Contigo (1995)—featuring hit songs like "Pelo Suelto", "Zapatos Viejos", and "Con los Ojos Cerrados", that cemented her status as a sex symbol and pop icon, and brought her international fame. In 1997, Trevi retired from public life with Andrade.
During this period, a complaint against her, Sergio Andrade, and other women was filed in Chihuahua involving allegations of sexual abuse, corruption of minors, and forced labor, following the disappearance of 17-year-old Karina Yapor and other young women. In January 2000, they were arrested in Rio de Janeiro. She spent nearly three years in pre-trial detention in Brazil before being extradited to Mexico. In 2004, Trevi and other two women were tried and acquitted, while Andrade was convicted. Her life and career were later dramatized in the 2014 biopic Gloria and the 2023 biographical television series Gloria Trevi: Ellas soy yo.
Trevi resumed her career by releasing multiple albums, including the Billboard Top Latin Albums number-one albums Gloria (2011), El Amor (2015), Inmortal (2016) and Versus (2017; with Alejandra Guzmán). She also scored hits like "Todos Me Miran," "Cinco Minutos," and "No Querías Lastimarme", and collaborated with artists such as Olga Tañón, Paulina Rubio, Karol G and Mon Laferte. With over 30 million records sold worldwide, she's one of the best-selling Latin music artists in history and ranks among the top Latin touring acts of the 21st century. In 2018, she was inducted to the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame. She was also listed among Billboard's best female Latin pop artists of all time in 2025.
