Biography
Singer and songwriter Gloria Trevi started on her career path before even beginning puberty. At age 12, she left home to pursue music and found herself singing and dancing in the streets and serving tacos at a taco stand for money to survive. When she reached Mexico City though, she met Sergio Andrade, the man who was destined to be her future manager.
With the support of Andrade, Trevi was able to release her first album in 1989 called What Am I Doing Here? The album was an instant success and put her at the top of the charts with the one release that was so popular at the time, Dr. Psychiatrist.
Despite being young when she released it, reviewers said it showed a clear feminist point of view and demonstrated to many Mexican men that Trevi was not afraid to explore her sexuality or stand up to their machismo standards that so many other artists would stay clear of.
Her wild ways became part of her trademark as her career developed and so did her relationship with her manager.
Fans and those close to the pair were starting to question their relationship as well as Andrade's activities outside of working with artists.
In 1995, his former wife published a book about how he would allegedly pick up teenager girls and lure them into a life of sex and slavery by promising to make them stars.
She highlighted Trevi as the ultimate example of this. Trevi, who claimed to be in love with Andrade by this point, denied it and fled from Mexico with her manager.
The two, along with another individual named in the sordid story, managed to stay ahead of the law for quite some time before it all caught up with them in Brazil.
They were to court for their questionable actions and were imprisoned shortly thereafter. Trevi gave birth to a baby boy in jail and claimed it was Andrade's baby.
Brazilian authorities allowed her some freedom to be with her child but Mexican authorities intervened so the singer and her manager were extradited to Mexico. The baby went to live with Trevi's grandmother.
It was not until 2004, following Trevi's hunger strike, that she was set free, citing a lack of evidence in the case. She had spent a total of five years in jail.
She recorded her latest album upon her release entitled How the Universe Was Born.
