Gloria Fiona Unplugged

Born and raised in Rome, Italy, Gloria left home at 19 to travel and eventually settled in Mexico a decade ago. Despite initially not knowing English or Spanish, Gloria made a significant impact at Act2PV’s Summer Karaoke Night, catching the attention of Danny Mininni, a founding partner which led to her participation in the 18-week vocal competition, Voice of Vallarta, where she placed second and made many friends and fans.
Following this success, Gloria performed with several rock bands across town and became well-known in the community. She created a blockbuster hit last season with her Adele show, and performed it at The Palm with a 9-piece orchestra to great critical acclaim! Dedicated to personal and professional growth, Gloria has consistently strived to improve her craft and she has lots of exciting plans for the future!
An endearing aspect of her journey is her nightly calls to her little brother in Italy, singing “Hallelujah” to him for many years. This young lady loves to sing and she has lots of love to give.
