Fey (born 1973), is a Mexican pop artist that became a symbol for her country by the middle of the 1990s. With her catchy, fun songs, Fey automatically became a leading artist and revolutionized pop music in Latin America.

The 90s and the Fey-mania

In 1995, under the label of Sony Music Mexico Fey released fer first album Fey. The public's feedback could not have been better for the artist, in just a couple of months Fey had been a total hit in her native Mexico, and had reached #1 with "Media naranja", "Gatos en el balcon", "Me enamoro de ti" and "La noche se mueve". Fey als a massive tour in Mexico, including consecutive concerts in the Teatro Metropolitan, one of Mexico's well-known auditorium, and all of Latin America, and reached Gold status sales by the end of the year.

In 1996 Fey launched Tierna la Noche. Her popularity rose to unimaginable levels, and the Feymania grew more than ever. In fact, Azucar Amargo, the CD's first single, lasted in the Billboard chart for more than 30 weeks. However, not only did Fey position all of her singles (9) in the international top 20 and the Mexican top 10, she also imposed a fashion period in Mexico and Latin America. Everything from shampoo to notebooks were endorsed by the artist, all becoming an instant hit. Her tour, Tierna la noche, was also very succesful. With this tour, Fey proved that the Feymania was here to stay, by consecutively filling what is considered Latin America's biggest resitum, El Auditorio Nacional, in Mexico, with more than 10,000 people in each. Overall the tour consisted of more than 40 presentations in Mexico, the U.S. and Latin America, as well as some presentations in Europe.

Point apart is Brazil, where the success of the Spanish-language production lead to the Portuguese version of the CD, which itself became an instant hit in the country.

In 1998, and after more than 8 months of absence, Fey released her third album "El color de los suenos", which itself was different to the preceding two in that the album was a mix of different rythms and styles. "Ni tu ni nadie", the album's first single, instantly reached number one in the Latin charts; "Diselo con flores", "Canela" and "Cielo Liquido" soon followed. Although the record did very well in sales, it did not compare to the over-the-top success of "Tierna la noche". After almost a year of promotion and platinum record sales, Fey announced, in a 1999 charity concert, that: "everything has a cycle, and this is the end of mine". For the following days and weeks, Fey appeared in magazines and newspapers all over Latin America, U.S. and Europe, declaring that over-the-top promotion and excessive work were the causes of her retiring.

Retire and Return

After 4 more years without Fey, she returned with a new CD, Vertigo, which, though, wasn't as important as the past ones, reintroduced Fey to a more grown-up crowd, which had waited four years for her return.

In 2004, and after a two-year absence, Fey relaunched her career with La Fuerza del destino, a tribute to the Spanish group Mecano. Automatically, her first single La fuerza del destino, became an instant hit in Mexico, as well as in the U.S. Latin charts. The songle's video clip exactly portrays what the song is about: love, life and the twists that detiny prepares. Her second single "Barco a Venus", was not as succesful in the U.S., it did, though, become a daily tune south of the border.
