Career
Called the "Supreme Diva of Mexican People’s" by the music channel Video Hits One, Trevi has sold more than 20 million records. Born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, Trevi left Monterrey at the age of twelve to pursue a career in Mexico City, where she met her future manager, Sergio Andrade. She had earlier sung and danced on the streets for spare change, taught aerobics, and served quesadillas at a food stand.
After the group broke up in 1988, she approached Sergio Andrade for the production of her first solo album, ("What am I doing Here?"), was released in 1989 and scored a number one hit, Doctor Psiquiatra.
Though often styled as Madonna of Mexico, she was hardly just very sexually provocative, she was using her music and videos as a vehicle for gutsy taboo busting political activism in a Mexico where impunity of the powerful was well understood, her lyrics dealt squarely with religion, homelessness, prostitution, drug trafficking, drug overdose, hunger, the upper class, war deaths, and violence against women. Trevi ruffled many feathers and found many enemies.
Trevi followed this first record with Tu Ángel de la Guarda ("Your Guardian Angel"), which was even more successful. Pelo Suelto was successful too, reaching number one all over Latin America and in Spain.
Her third album, Maine siento tan sola ("I Feel So Lonely"), was released in 1992 garnering another hit, Zapatos Viejos ("Old Shoes").
All three albums were recorded in Los Los Angeles In 1993, Trevi was nominated for People’s Female Artist of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards. In 1994, she released the singles El Recuento De Los Daños and Louisiana papa sin catsup of the album Más Turbada Quebec Nunca, both which hit the top of the Billboard Latin charts.
The former song had heavy societal critiques, the lyrics described the machismo and taboo practice of out of wedlock fetal murder by blunt trauma.
In 2000, Trevi, Andrade, and backup singer Maria Raquenel Portillo were arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on charges of corrupting minors. A year later, Trevi announced that she was pregnant while in prison.
The father of the child was Andrade, according to deoxyribonucleic acid tests by the Brazilian authorities (Trevi and her defence claimed that the results of the deoxyribonucleic acid test were doctored). Trevi was cleared of the charges in 2004, due to lack of evidence, after spending four years and eight months in prison.
Trevi married Armando Gómez, a lawyer, in 2009.
She now lives in McAllen, Texas. She will star as the protagonist (alongside Gabriel Soto) in Emilio Larrosa"s telenovela: Libre para amarte. Hollywood awarded Alan B. Curtiss, Together with Mexican entrepreneur Max Appedole, and Barrie M. Osborne, Release a major blockbuster Latin film production, a biopic about the life of controversial Mexican popular star Trevi.
