Myriam Montemayor Cruz

During this show she sang "Como la Flor", "Mudanzas", "De mi enamorate", "Él me mintió" and other songs.

A week after winning La Academia, EMI released her first album, a compilation of the themes that Myriam sang in the show.

It sold 25 copies within two months, topping the Mexican charts and being the first ex-student from La Academia to sell 3 albums worldwide.

"Traicionera", "Fuego y Pasion" [Fogo & Paxiao], "Negra Pena" and "Lo Que Siento Es Amor" were also singles.

Myriam returned in 2007 with a tribute album to Ana Gabriel, Simplemente Amigos (also the name of the first single), which entered the top 1 in the Mexican charts.

In 2009, Myriam also participated in El Gran Desafio De Estrellas, a reality show competition produced by TV Azteca, where she won 2nd place in the final.

Throughout 2010, Myriam performed in private concerts around the Mexican Republic, and made appearances on Multimedios Television, with events such as "El Corazon Mas Grande" and "Unidos Somos Nuevo León" (the latter of these an effort relief after a devastating weather event in Nuevo León, Mexico).

Myriam is currently promoting her new album Regio Corazon, Alma Mexicana (released in February 2011) which contains grupero, banda, mariachi and norteno music.

She also recorded a duet with Jorge "Coque" Muniz for his CD Emociones which is called "La Pareja Ideal", which Marco Antonio Solís and Marisela made famous some years ago.

In the meantime, Myriam was invited to serve as a judge on the Mexican musical reality show that witnessed her birth as an artist, La Academia.
