Full Thalia Biography
Thalia (born Ariadna Thalia Sodi Miranda, August 25, 1971 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a successful Latin Grammy-awarded Mexican singer and actress. She is amongst Mexico's most famous telenovela actresses and has sold more than 12 million albums worldwide.
In 1990, she released her first album Thalía. Produced by Alfredo Diaz Ordaz, Thalia released the album in October, 1990 through Fonovisa Records. The album spawned the singles "Un Pacto entre los Dos," "Salíva," "Amarillo Azul," and "Pienso en Ti."
In 1991, Thalia traveled to Spain and starred in different television programs. That same year she released her second studio album, Mundo de Cristal, produced by Alfredo Diaz Ordaz. Mundo de Cristal, released by Fonovisa, spawned three Mexican top ten hits ("Sudor," "En la Intimidad," and "Fuego Cruzado").
In 1995, Thalia left Melody/Fonovisa Records for EMI and released her label debut, En Éxtasis. Produced by Óscar López and Latin Pop impresario Emilio Estefan Jr., En Extasis contains her first major international hit, "Piel Morena." Other singles from the album include the Juan Gabriel cover "Gracias a Dios," the A.B. Quintanilla-written "Amandote," and "Quiero Hacerte el Amor." "María la del Barrio", which is also featured on the album, was the theme song of the same-named telenovela, where Thalía starred as the lead.
25 April 1997 was declared "Thalia Day" in Los Angeles, California, USA. She has been named one of the "25 (or 50) Most Beautiful People," seven times by the magazine People en Español.
After taking a 2-year pause, Thalia came back in 2000 with her third Emilio Estefan-produced studio album, Arrasando. The album was released on April 25 and "Entre el Mar y Una Estrella" was released as the first single. The singles "Entre el Mar y Una Estrella," "Arrasando," "Regresa a Mí," and "Reencarnación" were all Spanish radio hits. "Entre el Mar y Una Estrella" topped Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks and Latin Pop Airplay, becoming her first single to do so. All the other singles charted the top 25 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart.
As result of the success of the album, at the end of the year, Thalia was nominated in two Latin Grammy categories - "Best Female Pop Vocal Album" and "Best Sound Engineered Album." She won the latter and lost the first one to Christina Aguilera's Mi Reflejo.
Thalma was nominated in one Latin Grammy category - "Female Pop Vocal Album," and in four Latin Billboard categories - "Pop Track: Female" (No Me Enseñaste), "Tropical Track: Female" ("No Me Enseñaste"), "Premio de la Audiencia," and "Pop Album: Female". She won the last two awards.
In 2003, Thalia also released Thalia's Hits Remixed, a compilation that features remixes of her hits under the EMI label. Aside from the remixes, the album also contains the English version of "Arrasando," entitled "It's My Party," which was released in Greece.
In 2003, Thalia released a clothing line, exclusively available at selected Kmart stores, under the brand name Thalía Sodi Collection. Thalma has also sold her own brand of Hershey's chocolate.
El Sexto Sentido, Thalia's ninth studio album. was released on July 19, 2005 and was recorded mostly in the Spanish, but with a few of the cuts performed in English. The album received a luke-warm response from the public and critics alike. It debuted at number one in her native Mexico. "Amar Sin Ser Amada," a rock-edged & tango-based song, was the first single of the album, and it peaked at number 9 in Mexico. The track peaked at number 2 on the Hot Latin Tracks chart. For the second single, the ballad "Un Alma Sentenciada" was chosen, hoping to be the "No Me Enseñaste" of the album. However, the reaction was less positive because it failed to crack the Top 40, peaking at number 47 in Mexico. "Seducción," a high-energy pop track and fan-favorite, became the third single. This single peaked at number 4 in Mexico.
This album received several nominations from the Latin Grammy Awards, Billboard Latin Music Awards, Orgullosamente Latino Awards, Oye Awards, Premios Juventud and Premios lo Nuestro.
On January 12, 2008, Thalma confirmed on her weekly radio show that she is working on her next studio album. According to Thalía, all of the songs have been selected and she will start recording vocals on the following weeks. No release dates or titles have been confirmed yet by Thalía or her record company.
Thalía's first official fan club, Mundo de Cristal (MDC), which was named after her song and record of the same title, was founded on September 10, 1991 by a Mexican fan, Sonia Hernández. At the beginning, it was a small group of people, mostly from Hernández's family and her friends, but later, by joining more fans from other Mexican cities, it became the artist's official fan club in Mexico, then all over the world. It has more than 20 branches from countries located in Latin-America, Europe, as well as USA. Other fan clubs, recognized by local record labels, have been formed during Thalía's career, but the only international and official fan club recognized by Thalía is MDC. |
