Lucero is a successful Mexican singer and actress. She has sold over 27 million albums worldwide. She has sung songs in Spanish, Portuguese and English. She started her career at the age of 10 as Lucerito. She is currently separated from singer Manuel Mijares, with whom she has two children. Her mother, actress and producer Luz María Leon Sauvinet, was her manager until recent times.
The year 1980 marks the beginning of the career of a charismatic girl named Lucerito, who was born on the late 1960s in Mexico City. When she was too young, Lucerito always had concerns about being an artist, but at her 10 years of age Televisa offered her the first opportunity for a juvenile theme program named Alegrías De Mediodía (Midday Happiness), next to several children and young talents in music and comedy, like Aida Pierce, Aleks Syntek among others. Lucerito combined their work with their academic studies, and she also prepared taking singing and dancing lessons for a better and safer development on the stage; at that time she also performed in the program Juguemos a Cantar (Let's play to sing), which she was the interpreter of the theme. Following these opportunities, Lucerito received several offers in different programs, among them Chiquilladas (Childishness), making her first stellar appearance in the series for children, where one of her more popular roles was in a Popeye skit as Olive Oyl.
In 1982, she starred her first telenovela, produced by Valentin Pimpstein, Chispita ("Little Spark"), alternating with great actors such as Enrique Lizalde, Angelica Aragon, among others. Her acting brought her 2 awards, her first TVyNovelas Award and Azteca de Oro Award. From that moment her career was seen as a promising future; curiously enough with the emergence of Lucerito as a singer, she did not record the theme song for this telenovela. Instead that task was given to Timbiriche, the most popular juvenile group in Mexico. This is how Raul Velasco invited her to conduct and interpret the main theme of the musical pageant America, Esta Es Tu Cancion. Being 1982 a busy year, Lucero began to work on her very first album, with Musart Records, released the album Te Prometo (Eng: I promise you), later renamed just "El" (Eng: Him).
In 1983, the filmmakers did not want to be indifferent to the birth of this new young star and was hired by Daniel Galindo for her first film called Coqueta (Coquette), which she shared credit with Pedrito Fernandez, making her big screen debut.
After almost 2 years, in 1984, Lucerito came with her second album named Con tan pocos anos. In this year, she was contacted again by the director Sergio Vejar to act in the movie Delincuente (Delinquent), since the film Coqueta was a big success in Mexico.
The following year, 1985, she was contacted to perform in her third film Fiebre de Amor (Eng: Love Fever) along with one of the most sought-after male singer of the decade, Luis Miguel. This combination was a complete success with the audience and the film received 2 Diosa de la Plata Awards, including Breakthrough Performance for Lucerito. She participated in the soundtrack with two songs, and due to the favourable outcome of the film, the soundtrack also had a special edition for Italy.
