Born in Mexico City, Mexico on June 17, 1971 to Mexican actress Susana Dosamantes, Latin pop sensation Paulina Rubio debuted in 1982 while singing and dancing for a very young audience as member of a popular children's outfit called Timbiriche, which she worked with fellow member, Thalia. Her acting career began in 1988 with Pasión y Poder ("Passion and Power"); followed by Vaselina, the Spanish-language version of the musical Grease; and the TV series Baila Conmigo ("Dance With Me").
Paulina's debut solo album, La Chica Dorada ("The Golden Girl"), which was recorded in Spain, spawned number one singles such as "Mio" and "Amor De Mujer," and went platinum in 1993.
Her second album, 24 Kilates was certified gold and spawned the hits "Nieva, Nieva" and "Asunto De Dos." In addition to continued success with albums like 1995's El Tiempo Es Oro and 1996's Planeta Paulina, Paulina expanded her career by appearing in the movie Bésame en la Boca and the soap opera Pobre Niña Rica. She also was cast as the host of the Spanish variety show, Vive El Verano, in which she sang and acted.
After releasing the top-selling Paulina in 2000, which named her Billboard's #1 Latin Album of 2001, a single called "Sexual Lover" anticipated her first English-language record, titled Border Girl.
