Born in 1971 at Mexico City, Paulina Rubio is the daughter of Mexican actress Susan Dosamantes. Rubio began taking lessons in singing, acting, painting, jazz and dance ever since she was five years old at the Centro de Educacion Artistica. When she was ten, she made her debut as a singer in the children’s pop band Timbiriche. Rubio recorded a total of 11 albums as part of this band and even turned to acting in Mexican telenovelas with Televisa. In 1991, she left Timbiriche and began working towards launching a solo career. In 1992, Paulina Rubio released her debut album, La Chica Dorada under the EMI Latin record label.

Unlike many kids who grow up dreaming of stardom, singer Paulina Rubio didn't have to wait for adulthood to get her first taste of fame. By the time she was ten, Rubio, the daughter of Mexican film star Susana Dosamantes, was part of the children's group Timbiriche. A decade later her solo debut, La Chica Dorada, was released, followed the next year by 24 Kilates. Though she had by this point become a recognizable face on the Latin pop scene, it wasn't until 2000, when her fifth album, Paulina, was issued, that she began to get recognition stateside, hitting number one on the Billboard Latin chart and earning Latin Grammy nominations, success that was only augmented with the subsequent releases Pau-Latina (2004) and Ananda (2006). Her first English-language record, Border Girl (2002), was her only stumble after moving from EMI to Universal for Paulina. Her early recordings for EMI, generally subpar by a considerable margin to her latter-day Universal work, have been recyled internationally on endless budget-line compilations like Historia (2003) and Mio: Paulina y Sus Éxitos (2006).

Paulina Rubio's presence in the English-language market came in 2002. The hit single Don't Say Goodbye rose to the 41st position on the "Billboard Hot 100" Chart and whose music video became a regular on MTV's Total Request Live. On June 18, 2002, Border Girl, Rubio's first foray into English-language-Pop, was released. The album debuted at the 11th position on the "Billboard Hot 200" Chart and was certified Gold in the US. Although her debut English album did not launch her into superstardom out of the Hispanic world, it did give Paulina the international recognition she sought for years. As of June 21, 2002, the Houston, TX radio station 104 KRBE declared the 21st of June as "Paulina Day" in Houston.
