ARTIST Info

Mexico’s leading international artist is back and stronger than ever. Her creative spark and artistic passion are back in the driver’s seat on her latest album.

There are few stars in the Latin pop scene that have shined as brightly –and for as long– as Paulina Rubio. The Mexican singer, actress, model and entrepreneur has been putting out hits that have taken the world by storm. After a stint with the group Timbiriche –one of the most long-lasting pop phenomena in Mexico–, Paulina embarked on her solo career in 1992 releasing “La Chica Dorada.” The title of her debut album became her professional nickname, The Golden Girl, and opened the doors to the US market.

Far from settling, Paulina continued to climb up the ladder of creativity to publish “Ananda” in 2006. Guided by renowned producer Cachorro López and surrounded by a sensational team of songwriters, notably Julieta Venegas, Juanes, Coti, Gustavo Celis and Xabi San Martín (La Oreja de Van Gogh), Paulina delivered an album that would be crucial to her career, taking part in all stages of the process. Fueled by hit singles including “Ni Una Sola Palabra,” the album topped the US Latin Pop Chart and was certified 2x Platinum in Spain. “Ananda” picked up Album of the Year at the Latin Billboard Awards and the Spanish edition of GQ Magazine named Rubio as Woman of the Year in 2007.

On “Brava!” (2011), Rubio skillfully combined songs in English and in Spanish. The collaborations on the album included heavyweight hit maker RedOne, pop star Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas and famous Mexican composer and songwriter Espinoza Paz, among a long list of others. Marked by the birth of her first child, and by the death of her father, “Brava!” is the work of a mature artist who is determined to celebrate the cycle of life. The album contributed to Rubio’s amazing portfolio of hits with tracks “Me Gustas Tanto” –written with Nacho, from Venezuelan duo Chino y Nacho– and the spectacular dance beats of “Heat of the Night” and “All Around the World”.

In 2013, Paulina released “Pau Factor,” a compilation whose title refers to her participation as a judge on talent-show The X Factor. The album features some of the greatest hits of her career and provides a fantastic overview of her work. Over the years, Paulina has continued to release hit records, including songs “Mi Nuevo Vicio” in 2015 –a collaboration with Colombian artist Morat, an absolute hit in Spain that was certified 2x Platinum and topped the Promusicae chart– and “Si Te Vas” in 2016. The latter rose to the top of the Latin Billboard Charts, adding to Paulina’s impressive collection of hits.
