Thalía was born Ariadna Thalía Sodi Miranda, on August 26, 1971, in Mexico City, Mexico. She is the youngest daughter of her parents. She was born into a well-settled Mexican upper middle-class family. Her mother, Yolanda Miranda, was an esteemed painter, and her father, Ernesto Sodi Pallares, was a scientist, criminologist, pathologist, and writer.

Thalía was the youngest of the five children in the family and was heavily influenced by her mother to pursue art. Her parents knew a lot of people in the entertainment industry, and this led Thalía to make her first-ever TV appearance when she was just a year old. Her first commercial was for a major Mexican brand.

Observing her interest in music and arts, her mother got her enrolled at the ‘National Conservatory of Music of Mexico’ when she was 4 years old. Thalía started taking piano and dance lessons there.

When she was 6 years old, she was faced with a major tragedy. She lost her father to a prolonged sickness. She was extremely close to her father and found it difficult to get over his death.

She admitted later that the death of her father had traumatized her badly and that she took many years to recover. She used music and dance to forget the pain and also visited psychiatrists. She was later diagnosed with childhood disintegrative disorder (CHD).

Thalía started her music career in 1981, as part of a children’s music group named ‘Pac Man.’ The group was formed to help them participate in the talent show ‘Let’s Play While Singing.’ The band’s name was later changed to ‘Din-Din.’

Thalía became the most popular member of the group and performed at many parties and social events. They also toured around Mexico. Between 1982 and 1984, the band released four albums, which attained moderate success. However, the band was eventually disbanded.

Following her departure from ‘Din-Din,’ Thalía went solo with her musical dreams and participated in many festivals across the country. She earned the reputation of being a “modern rock girl” and performed as a solo artist on many platforms. She also performed in groups.

In 1986, she officially joined a children’s band named ‘Timbiriche,’ which had five recorded albums to its credit by then. She also starred in the telenovela ‘Quinceañera,’ where she played the co-lead, ‘Beatriz.’ Thalía was awarded with the “Best New Actress” honor by the ‘Premios TVyNovelas.’ She also recorded the main theme of the show, along with her band.

Thalía recorded four albums with ‘Timbiriche.’ In 1989, she quit the band officially. The same year, she played the first leading role of her career, in the series ‘Light and Shadow.’ She also briefly moved to the US to improve her English language skills. She got enrolled at the ‘University of California’ to learn music, dance, and acting.

She has won seven ‘Latin Grammy Award’ nominations till now. She is also a five-time ‘Latin Billboard Music Award’ winner and has earned 17 nominations, too. She has also won many local Mexican music awards.
