When she was 18 years old, she began her music career as a contestant on the Mexican reality television program, Buscando a Timbiriche, La Nueva Banda in 2007. Televisa held auditions throughout Mexico to find members for an updated line-up of the iconic singing group, Timbiriche. The show premiered on Canal de las Estrellas on June 24, 2007.
