Some people simply have showbiz in
their blood, and Paulina Rubio is one of those
people. Just as some of us grow up to be farmers or
plumbers because that's the family business, for
Rubio, the family business was show business--she
was born in 1973 in Mexico to a Mexican actress and
became involved in entertainment herself at age 7,
performing with the Latin teen-pop group Timbiriche
as a dancer and singer. She eventually recorded 11
albums Timbiriche with before going solo.
In the meantime, Rubio launched her acting career,
performing on the Mexican soap opera Pasi髇 Y
Poder (Passion & Power), and later appearing in
the television series Baila Conmigo. Her big-screen
debut came with B閟ame En La Boca, and the
soap opera world again embraced her with a starring
role in Pobre Ni馻 Rica.
But while her acting career was still going steady
and strong, she kept her musical interests alive as
well: In 1992, she recorded her first solo album, La
Chica Dorada. Four more Spanish-language releases
followed between 1993 and 2000, making Rubio a
notable figure on the Latin music scene; in May
2002, she released her first English-language album,
Border Girl. |
