Early life

Tatiana was born on 12 December 1968 in Philadelphia, while her father was attending the University of Pennsylvania. A dual citizen of the United States and Mexico, [2] Tatiana was raised in Monterrey, Mexico, by her parents, Dr. José Ramón Palacios Ortega and Diana Perla Chapa de Palacios, after her father's studies were completed in Pennsylvania.

Early career and pop music

Tatiana's first major musical project was as the character Jane in the 1984 live stage performance, Kuman, a Mexican rock opera about a Tarzan-like character. The show's 1984 album soundtrack also entitled Kuman was released under the group name, Cristal y Acero ‒ the rock trio consisting of guitarist Icar Smith, bassist Carlos Ortega, and drummer Samuel Shapiro. [3]

IN 1986, Tatiana released a single and filmed a video, both titled Cuando Estemos Juntos, with former Menudo member, Puerto Rican singer Johnny Lozada. [4] The song was meant to create awareness among youth in Puerto Rico, Mexico and the rest of Latin America about the potential consequences of sex before marriage, including sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy at an early age.

From 1984 to 1994, Tatiana released 10 pop music albums which garnered numerous hits throughout Mexico and some parts of Latin America.
