Career
Patricia developed an interest in music before acting, mainly influenced by her father, Jesus, and is quoted as saying that his voice has been her inspiration since she was born. When she was nine years old she sang to the public for the first time in a school festival and at fifteen made her first professional debut.

Two years later Paty saw a greater opportunity in the Señorita Sinaloa (Miss Sinaloa) contest which offered as a grand prize a scholarship to Centro de Educación Artística de Televisa (Center of Artistic Education in Television) in Mexico City. In 1993 while at CEA she acted in Los Parientes Pobres, and several other films until she hit it big with her role in the soap opera, Cañaveral de Pasiones (Sugar Cane Plantation of Passions). The role was noticed immediately by the country and after three years she became famous as an actress.
