Family Life

Aguirre became a child of five, when her mother married a Guatemalan man named Edwyn Alfredo Marroquin Lemus. Aguirre till this day has not met her biological father and has been quoted saying: <blockquote> "My biological father was nothing more than a sperm donor. At least that's all I was able to gather from my mother."
</blockquote>

She has a step sister and a step brother named Scarleth and Alfredo. She has two siblings whom she shares a mother with, Jennifer and Matthew. Being the middle sister, she was often attention starved as a child and sought refuge in music, movies, and art to make herself stand out among the five children. She gave her first performance as a dancer and vocalist at a family wedding at the age of four when she went on stage with the mariachi. Her mother has said, <blockquote>
"She was always striving to be center stage. She was alway the life of the party. I knew from the very start that she was going to be something great. I recognized a great passion and fire in her. She had this desire to be great and I knew she was going to push herself to become someone extroadinary. I could've never imagined all that she would become. It was more than any of us expected."
</blockquote>

Singing & Dancing

Raised in a lower middle class family, Aguirre was forced to share a bedroom with all five children. Her parents could not afford to provide her with all the tools to fully educate her about music and dance. At the age of five she began to seek alternatives. She would use the VHS recorder to tape music videos and ballroom dancing competitions. She spent hours studying Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson choreography. "My first dream was to be a back up dancer for Janet Jackson, but then I wanted to sophisticate myself on technical dance. I became fascinated with ballroom dancers. They were so elegant, passionate. I learned that all art is imitation it's an imitation of life. I began to do as I saw, I moved my feet, turned my neck, and swayed. Before I knew it, I had learned how to tango, cha cha, and waltz."

The first instrument she began to play was a piano at age 4, but had to stop playing because her mother could no longer afford piano lessons and had to sell her piano.
