Switch To Children's Music
However, despite her early successes, it wasn't until she began to record albums fully dedicated to children songs that she achieved a wider fan base plus international recognition. So far she has obtained 24 gold records, 8 platinum and 4 diamond. She hosted a children's show, El Espacio de Tatiana, on the Mexican network Televisa from 1997 to 2001 and is currently hosting El Show De Tatiana for the TV Azteca network. She also has a contract from The Walt Disney Company for voice overs, dubs and the recording of Disney Movies hit songs.
However, her greatest achievement is having revolutionized the structure, message and content of the traditional children's song, changing it from typical singalong and repetition of funny phrases that toddlers can easily follow, into real and credible musical statements, without ever compromising her target audience. This differentiates her from any other international artist in this style of music specially created for her by successful record producer Pepe Luis Soto and his partner Roxie "The Dream Team" as Tatiana calls them. These feats have been gradually developed during her recent albums, culminating in her latest releases El Regalo, El Regalo II, and Aventuras En Tatilandia.
Having received numerous awards for her spectacular shows and magical music, Tatiana is also a firm advocate of Make A Wish Foundation and Gift Of Hope Foundation.
In 2005 she released her first non-children's album in a decade as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the beginning of her entertainment career, with Acustico, an all-acoustic album with renditions of some of her early pop hits and other songs, including two in English.
With 5 Latin Grammy Nominations for Best Children's Album and over 9 million copies sold, Tatiana has successfully managed her career both as a singer and actress, releasing every year a new album, and most recently, acting as the mermaid "Coral" on the Mexican soap opera Amy, la Niña de la Mochila Azul.
Her highly successful and acclaimed 2007 tour ended with a 56 sold out concerts, and in 2008 her new tour "Espapirifárctico" began officially on 24 February 2008 and covered 64 concerts and 5 different countries before the year's end.
