Mexico has long been a hub of culture and arts. As a result, the country has been home to a wealth of talented artists in a multitude of different fields. In recent times especially the entertainment industry in the country has grown tenfold, as the demand for movies, television shows and albums rises with each passing year.

In order to stay abreast of this demand, new and gifted performers get opportunities everyday to showcase their various abilities. However, there was a once a time when such luxuries were not as common. When fame came to those who were willing to go through the ringer to make a name for themselves. Among those stars was Ana Gabriel, one of the greatest singers to have graced the Latin music in history.    

Starting from the bottom

Ana Gabriel was born in 1955 and it did not take her too long to realize that she had a passion for music. She loved to sing and entertain people, something that became apparent as soon as she took to the stage for the first time in her life. Even though, she was only six years old at the time, Gabriel’s rendition of José Alfredo Jiménez's popular song, "Regalo A Dios,” still lives on in her memory. It was the first time she felt the thrill of performing in a live setting and it was a feeling that has stayed with her ever since.

Gabriel credits her parent’s support for most of her early successes and later fame. That support was instrumental in her development as an artist. Her father was Ramon Araujo and her mother was Isabel Young, of Japanese descent. When Ana was fifteen, they helped her travel to Tijuana in the hopes of furthering her career as a musician and also to study accountancy at school. Here the young artist had all the opportunities an up and coming talent could ask for. It was there that she recorded the first single of her life, titled “Comprendeme” at the age of twenty two.  

First steps towards stardom

Recording contracts don’t grow on trees and Gabriel had to earn her stripes before she got her first one. After recording her debut single, she decided to take part in a festival called the Valores Juveniles or Youthful Values festival, where she first sang her hit song “No me lastimes más.” She came in second at the competition and that success made her a recognizable name.

After playing in small time bars and clubs, she finally released her first studio album, “Tierra de Nadie” in 1988. It made it to number one on the US Latin Pop music charts and truly put her on the map. She followed that effort up with her 1989 release, called “Pecado Original” which managed to get to number three on the US Latin Pop music charts.

Rise to prominence

Since then she has released two more albums which have managed to get to the top of the Latin Pop charts, as well as thirteen others that have made it into the top twenty. She has also had three albums make it to number one on the Regional Mexican music charts as well as one that topped the Top Heatseekers music charts as well.

Ana has also managed to win an incredible thirteen Lo Nuestro Awards. Not only that, but she also has four Latin Grammy and one Grammy Award nomination to her credit. Even after more than three and a half years in the industry, her desire to work harder for her millions of fans everywhere keeps on growing. This is why she is constantly working on new material and travelling to the far reaches of the planet to perform for her supporters.
