Gloria Trevi (1988) ✨

She was 20 years old, and after a few challenging years on her own, Gloria made a bold decision: she approached Sergio Andrade again, seeking to return to his new performing arts school. Andrade welcomed her back, and Gloria quickly resumed her role as a mentor, sharing her experience with younger students while continuing to refine her craft.

This year, Gloria took a major step toward her future as a solo artist. She showed Andrade the songs she had been writing, and her talent and determination led to the recording of a demo that caught the attention of a record label. By the end of the year, she was signed and began working on her debut studio album, recording entirely in Los Angeles, California, immersing herself in the process of creating the music that would soon launch her career.

Gloria Trevi (1987) ✨

She was 19 years old, and while she had spent the past years growing and mentoring at Sergio Andrade’s performing arts school, 1987 brought a major turning point. That year, a conflict arose between Sergio Andrade and Mary Boquitas, which led Gloria to leave the school entirely, stepping away from the structured environment she had grown so accustomed to.

For the rest of the year, Gloria’s life became a raw, gritty chapter of survival and creativity. Living in a cheap motel in Mexico City, she sang on metro buses and train stations to earn money, pouring her heart into every note while honing her voice in real-world conditions. Alone in her small room, she also spent hours writing songs, crafting the beginnings of the music that would later define her career.

Gloria Trevi (1983) ✨

She was 15, a year older, a little bolder, but still very much a girl growing into herself. 1983 was quieter in the public eye than her breakout moment in 1982 — no contests, no big television victories — but it was a year of foundation and growth.

Gloria spent most of the year studying at the performing arts school in Mexico City, honing her voice, her dance, her stage presence — the skills that would later make her a superstar. Behind the scenes, she was navigating the early stirrings of teenage life: falling in love for the first time. Her boyfriend became a small part of her life and, occasionally, a small presence on XETU, where she would sometimes appear.

Gloria Trevi (1982) ✨

She was only 14, still carrying the nervous excitement of a girl who loved to perform, but already burning with something impossible to ignore. That year, Gloria Trevi stepped onto the stage of XETU and entered a look-alike contest inspired by Chispita, the beloved character played by Lucerito. What started as imitation quickly became revelation.

Gloria didn’t just look the part — she owned the moment. The confidence, the spark, the fearless way she moved and smiled like she already knew the spotlight belonged to her. Against all odds, she won the contest, and with it came something life-changing: a scholarship to a performing arts school in Mexico City.
