| Paulina Rubio Dosamantes is a Mexican singer and actress. She is the daughter of Susana Dosamantes, a Mexican film star and actress of telenovelas. Rubio's music is popular in Latin America, Spain, and the United States. English-speakers may recognize her from her 2002 hit single "Don't Say Goodbye". Paulina Rubio has sold over 15 million albums worldwide. Paulina Rubio is the older of two siblings. She has a younger brother named Enrique. At age 5, Paulina was taking singing, acting, painting, jazz and dance lessons while enrolled at what is now the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) in Mexico. After two years of being there, Pedro Damián and Martha Zavaleta contacted Paulina's parents for their approval in Paulina joining a band that would be formed by children from the center. On April 30, 1982, she began her career when she was ten years old under the guidance of the Spaniard Miguel Bosé, debuting in a children's pop band called Timbiriche. The original band had 7 members: Alix Bauer, Benny Ibarra, Diego Schoening, Mariana Garza, Paulina Rubio, Sasha Sökol, and Erick Rubin (who joined a year later). Other members that would later join Timbiriche include Eduardo Capetillo, Thalía, Edith Márquez, Bibi Gaytán, Claudio Bermúdez, Patty Tanuz, and Silvia Campos. Rubio recorded a total of 11 albums as part of Timbiriche. In 1985, Timbiriche participated in the musical Vaselina (based on the American musical Grease). While in Timbiriche, Rubio also turned to acting in telenovelas with Televisa. She landed her first role in 1988, as the villain Paulina Montenegro in Pasión y Poder ("Passion and Power"). In 1992, she also starred in Baila Conmigo as Andrea.
