About Myriam Hernández

Miriam Raquel Hernández Navarro (born May 2, 1965 in Ñuñoa, Santiago), popularly known as Myriam Hernández, is a Chilean singer-songwriter and television presenter. She is known throughout Latin America for her romantic love songs. Hernández began her career in the late 80's. Her first track was "Ay Amor." At age 11 she debuted on the program "Generación joven," followed soon after by "La Pandilla," both part of Televisión Nacional de Chile. Based on this she was offered a role in the soap opera "De cara al mañana," where she appeared in five episodes. The following year, as a solo artist, she entered into the "Ranking Juvenil" (Juvenile Ranking) of Canal 13's "Sábados Gigantes" program, hosted by Don Francisco. At 18 she was named Artista Revelación (Best New Artist) by the Chilean press before having even recorded a single album. In Chile, in December 1988, Hernández released her first album under record label EMI entitled "Myriam Hernández". In Chile the record got her the Disco de Oro, and would later go quadruple platinum in - among other countries - the United States, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and Panama. Thus began her international career. Two tracks on this album, "Ay Amor" (Oh My Love) and "El Hombre que Yo Amo" (The Man I Love), spent months at the top of music charts in Latin America and the U.S. In February 1989 she was a guest artist and jury member at the Festival de Viña del Mar. In 1989, the Asociación de Periodistas de Espectáculos de Chile awarded Hernández the APES award for Best Female Performer and her album received the Mejor Producción Discorgráfica (Best Record) award. In July 1989, Billboard's Hot Latin scored her first success with "El Hombre que Yo Amo," and soon after in December her album was among the 10 best selling albums in the Latin world. In 2004, Hernández released Huellas (Traces), a collection of her greatest hits including three never before-released songs. Armando Manzanero composed a new hit for her, "No te He Robado Nada" (I Took Nothing From You), and Myriam Hernández and her son Jorge Ignacio, then only eight, composed the song "He Vuelto por Ti" (I Have Come Back for You). The album included a new version of the song "Mio" recorded with Argentine group Los Nocheros as well as the song "El Amor de mi Vida" (The Love of my Life) (written by Myriam and Chilean hip-hop band Los Tetas) recorded with that band. Huellas was released across Latin America and went Gold and Platinum. She also released her first DVD. At the end of 2005 she produced her first DVD-CD of a live performance entitled Contigo en Concierto (With You in Concert). In 2007, Hernández released the covers' album Enamorándome (Falling In Love). In February 2010 Myriam sang "Rescátame" in Festival Antofagasta Junto al Mar. This song will be appear in her new album.
