Martina Stoessel (born 21 March 1997), also known as Tini Stoessel, is an Argentine actress, model, singer, and dancer who gained international popularity for her debut role as Violetta Castillo on the Disney Channel Latin America original series, Violetta.
Stoessel was born in Buenos Aires and is the daughter of television producer and director Alejandro Stoessel and Mariana Muzlera. She has a brother who is one year older than her named Francisco. Stoessel began her artistic training at a young age studying singing, piano, musical comedy, musical theater, and dance in her native Buenos Aires. Stoessel was educated at two private bilingual schools: Colegio San Marcos and Colegio Martín y Omar de Isidro.
In 2007, Stoessel had a role in the first season of the popular Argentine children's telenovela, Patito Feo, as "Martina", one of Fito Bernardi's assistants. Stoessel also played the role of "Anna" in a flashback episode in the same series.
In 2011, Stoessel recorded the Spanish version of the Shannon Saunders' song, "The Glow", called "Tu Resplandor"; the song was included on the album, Disney Princess: Fairy Tale Songs. Stoessel performed the song at an event for Disney Channel Latin America called Celebratón, on 31 December 2011. The song was later released on an album for the series in March 2012.
Stoessel's father presented an unrelated project to Disney Channel producers, who later informed him about auditions for the lead role for the network's upcoming television series, Violetta. In late 2011, after an intense casting process, Stoessel obtained the principal role in the series, a tween-oriented musical series launched as a co-production between Disney Channel Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa. The show's first season began production in Buenos Aires in 2012. Stoessel played the titular character, Violetta Castillo, during all three seasons of the show. Stoessel sang the series' theme song, "En mi mundo", which was later released as a single on 5 April 2012 to promote the show. Subsequently, she recorded the Italian version, "Nel mio mondo" and the English version, "In My Own World". Both songs were used as the theme songs for the series in its international broadcasts in Italy, the U.K., and the U.S. via Netflix. For this role Stoessel won an award for "Female Newcomer" in the 2012 edition of the Kids' Choice Awards Argentina and was also nominated for the U.S. version, the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, in the "Favorite Latin Artist" category.
