The album (Warner Music Latina) is the States’ introduction to the 22-year-old actress/singer. Sariñana has been acting professionally since she was 4. Her father is Mexican film director Fernando Sarinana; her mother, Carolina Rivera, is a screenwriter/producer. Sariñana got her start in music singing the theme song to the telenovela Luz Clarita, which she also appeared in, when she was 8. She will appear in her father’s film Enemigos íntimos later this year.”*
