Where you’ve seen her:
This Latin singing sensation, once a member of the preteen Mexican pop group Timbiriche, released her debut solo album, La Chica Dorado [The Golden Girl], at age 16, and her first English-language album, Border Girl in 2002. She switched back to Spanish for her latest effort, Pau-Latina.

Double impact:
“My fans gave me the name Pau Pau. It's the sound of a gun that fires love. The sound of a drum. In Catalan, 'pau' means peace. Everybody calls me Pau Pau.”

Mother knows best:
“I divide people into two groups: those who criticize me and those who love me. I don't live for other people. My mom showed me that it's better to live in your projects and not listen to other people.”

Men behaving badly:
“I'm afraid that all men are the same. Once they know you're an individual who loves what you do, they feel insecure for some reason. I'm sorry they feel that way.”
