There are people who are born with a star and sometimes they don’t even know it until fate shows them, such is the case of the young Californian Janet Uribe, who never imagined that being a singer would be her passion and her profession in life.
The daughter of Mexican parents, her father from Jalisco and her mother from Nayarit, Janet Uribe grew up a very outgoing girl, who loved to be the center of attraction in her family, school, and friends.
At the age of 16, the restless young woman enrolled in an acting course where there was a singing class, but she was focused on being an actress and working in novels and commercials, despite the fact that her father did not agree with that idea, but it was her mother, Mrs. Gloria Uribe, who encouraged her to take that singing class and from the beginning, the teacher told her that she had a very good voice and although, like all girls, she sang the songs she heard on the radio at home, no one he had realized his potential.
That was how she joined the choir at the High School where she studied and she liked it so much that at the age of 17, she was already singing alone in front of an audience.
She amusedly remembers that the first song she sang in front of an audience was ‘Rata de dos patas’, Paquita la del Barrio’s hit, that was at an event at her school and as a result, all the moms present cheered her and motivated to continue down that path.
In addition to singing in Spanish, Janet also sings in English, but her Mexican blood was stronger and when she saw the public’s reaction, she decided to continue down that path.
So she began to enroll in singing contests and in one of them she sang ‘Cucurrucucú paloma’, Lola Beltrán’s iconic song, because she was the singer her parents listened to, and her voice and charisma awakened in Janet Uribe that love and passion for music. Mexican music, especially by the mariachi.
These types of challenges, such as the theme so difficult to interpret as ‘Cucurrucucú paloma’, are the ones that Janet imposed on herself, she wanted to know its scope and despite her enthusiasm to continue with her artistic career, she first had to finish her studies, a condition that His father named him Don José Uribe.
In such a way, along with music, Janet finished her school at the University of Santa Barbara, with a degree in Psychology in 2009.
