The Early Years

Ariadna Thalia Sodi Miranda, better known as Thalia, was born in Mexico City.  She joined children's music group known as Din Din when she was eight years old.  At thirteen,she played Sandy in the teen version of the stage show, Grease.  A mezzo soprano, Thalia was able to juggle her music career with an active acting career in soap operas.  Two years later she joined another youth Latin pop group called Timbirche.

In 1990, at the age of nineteen, Thalia released her first album, simply titled Thalia, through Fonovisa Records.  Eventually, Thalia went platinum in Mexico. Her hits from the album included Un Pacto Entre los Dos, Saliva, and Pienso En Ti.  The album peaked at #1 in Mexico.  

A Successful Career

Thalia went on to release four studio albums and one compilation in the 1990s.  Each album was extremely successful, and she earned multiple platinum albums for her efforts.  Amor a la Mexicana, released in 1997, earned 20 platinum albums by itself.  Her compilation album, Nandito Ako, was released with a number of songs in English.  This served as the catalyst to grow her popularity in the United States as well as in Mexico.

Thalia toured aggressively in the 1990s to promote her albums, and played at festivals throughout Mexico, United States, and Latin America.  Simultaneously, she was becoming a household name across Mexico due to her active career, acting in soap operas.  She continued to record through out the first decade of the 2000s.  In 2002, her album, Thalia, was released in Mexico and Spain, with different cover art.  She also released an English version in the United States. Her label at that point, EMI remastered the English version and re-released it.  The album included four bonus tracks.
