Talk about sweet irony. One of ten children, Gabriel watched as his mother went to work as a housekeeper each day. Today, Gabriel owns the very mansion his mother once worked in.

Gabriel is a bona fide success, not only in his home country of Mexico but around the world, having sold a whopping thirty million albums worldwide. And, it all started when he began writing songs when he was a mere 13-years-old. As a teen, he began singing those songs for audiences at local nightclubs.

It was in 1971 that Gabriel first had a hit single with “No Tengo Dinero.” In the years that followed, Gabriel could also be seen on the silver screen in such films as Es Mi Vida.

From 1971 to 1985, Gabriel’s albums sold a stunning 20 million copies worldwide. Unfortunately, while his career was white hot, he ran into a major obstacle with BMG Records over the copyright of his songs, which led to him halting his music career for eight years. By 1994, the issue was resolved, and Gabriel was back to doing what he does best: making music.

In 1995, Gabriel was honored as the “ASCAP Songwriter Of The Year.” A short year later, Gabriel received perhaps the highest distinction any musician can: he became the newest member of the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame.

To date, Gabriel has released a mind-boggling 69 albums, including “La Historia Del Divo” (2006), El Unico: Sus Mas Grandes Exitos (2004), Inocente de Ti (2003), Querida (2000), Con la Banda...El Recodo (1998), Juan Gabriel La Inspiracion-Angelica Maria La Voz (1992), and 14 Exitos Originales: Para Ti (1988).

In addition to releasing his own albums, he’s produced albums for a long list of successful artists, such as Paul Anka, Rocio Durcal, and Marc Anthony.

Juan Gabriel concert tickets are a hot commodity worldwide, attesting to the enduring presence of Gabriel in the music industry.
