One of the most popular Latin American singers of Mexican origin, she is known not only for her hot songs, but also for a significant number of bright roles in popular television soap operas.
Despite the fact that Thalia has reached 48 years old, she looks great (with a fairly high growth, she weighs only 50 kg). She is very beautiful and has an amazing athletic figure.
The artist works hard - writes songs that she herself performs; records albums selling millions of copies; travels with tours to different countries, starred in commercials and TV shows.
For the first time she hit the screens as a baby, when the baby was filmed in a commercial. Now she is a professional and famous actress.
Childhood and youth of Adriana Talia Sodi
Adriana Talia Sodi Miranda was born on August 26, 1971 in the Mexican capital. Her parents, Ernesto and Yolanda, had five daughters in total. Baby Yuya (as her relatives called her) was the youngest.
The mother of the future singer was a professional artist, and her father had a doctorate in forensic science and pathology. Unfortunately, the head of the family died when little Talia was only 5 years old. For the girl, this was a shock, she was very upset by the loss of a loved one.
When the girl went to school, she began to please her family with good grades and interest in psychology and the natural sciences. It is possible that she could get a degree in the future if she did not dream of following in the footsteps of her older sister and becoming an artist.
The goal set helped her direct her excessive activity in the right direction - Talia entered the ballet school. She firmly decided that she would become very famous.
At the age of 9, the little artist began to learn to play the piano at the Music Institute. There she entered the children's musical ensemble, with which she went to concert performances.
With the group "Din-Din" Taliya recorded several albums. The experience of working in a musical group helped a lot in the future - the young singer got used to the difficult traveling life, learned to stay on stage and work patiently.
At the age of 12, she joined the popular youth group Timbiriche and starred with them in the comedy musical Grace. The producer of the musical group, Luis de Llano, was captivated by the girl's talent and invited Talia to cooperate. She has recorded three albums with the group.
Thalia film and singing career
While intensively studying music, Talia did not forget about the dream of becoming an actress. For the first time, she had to try herself in this field in 1987 in the TV series La pobre Senorita Limantour.
After a successful debut, she was offered small roles in several more films. Despite the minor roles, the audience remembered the actress, who managed to create a simple-minded and slightly naive film image.
At the age of 17, Talia moved to Los Angeles, where she learned to play the guitar and improved her singing and dancing skills. As part of her self-education, she studied English. Here she lived for a year.
After returning to the capital of Mexico, she felt an unprecedented surge of strength and creativity. At this time, she decided on a solo debut.
The result of collaboration with Alfredo Diaz Ordaz, who became her producer, is the first album in her life, which was called Thalia. A little later they released two more discs.
The Mexican public was surprised by the change in the image of the artist. In the memory of the fans there was still a cinematic image of a naive girl.
New Thalia impressed the audience with bold outfits and relaxed behavior. The singer was criticized from all sides. It didn't scare her. Ignoring the attacks, she continued to work hard and improve.
In the 1990s, Talia went to Spain, where she was offered a job in television. Very quickly, the variety show, which was directed by the actress, became popular.
Despite this, six months later she returned to Mexico City to participate in the filming of a new series. The first part of the film was released in 1992 and immediately won the recognition of the audience.
For the first time, Talia got the role of the main character - Mary. Two years later, a continuation of the story came out, which aroused even greater interest. The third part of the series was a huge success. Thalia's childhood dream came true - she became a world-famous actress.
Acting popularity helped her in many ways in promoting her singing career. In 1995, the album En Extasis was released, which conquered more than 20 countries of the world.
The disc was first recognized as gold, and then platinum. Video clips were shot for the best popular compositions, breaking the record in the most famous charts.
At the peak of her popularity, the singer visited many international festivals and carnivals, where she was always in the spotlight, like a real queen of music and dance. She became so popular that holidays were held in Los Angeles in her honor, and her wax figure was made in the capital of Mexico.
Personal life of the singer
In December 2000, a grand wedding took place in New York, linking Talia and her producer Tommy Mottola.
Since then, the singer has perfectly combined creativity and career with caring for the family and raising her daughter Sabrina Sakae (born in 2007) and son Matthew Alejandro (born in 2011), believing that they are the most important thing in the world.
Thalia is so sensitive to family life that she tries not to make it public.
