To his family’s relief, he hung up his boxing gloves and began a soccer career.Īt age 16, Siria went to Puebla to sing with the Mariachi Metepec, but he did not get his first professional break until two years later when Julito Rodriguez and Alfredo Gil of the famous singing trio, Los Panchos, discovered him and took him to audition at CBS Records. His boss, David Lara Ríos, heard him and was so impressed with his talent that he urged Siria to dedicate himself to his music and recommended him to a voice coach, even paying for singing lessons with Noé Quintero. At that time he was working as a butcher, and sang while he worked. Siria began singing in competitions under the pseudonym of “Javier Luquín” in which the winner would be awarded a new pair of shoes he was eventually banned from participating because he so dominated the competition. In his spare time, he trained as an amateur boxer, with aspirations of going professional, but after suffering a few defeats, he was urged to work at something “more decent”. He worked as a baker, a butcher, a carpenters helper and a car washer. Later he worked in a supermarket transporting merchandise. After dropping out of school he worked collecting bones and glass. Due to his aunt’s death Gabriel only completed the first five years of primary school in Tacubaya in Mexico City, where he used to participate in singing contests. Siria had to drop out of school before his teens to support his family, after the death of his aunt Angela.

After a time, she decided to leave her son at the household of his uncle Valentín Levario Plata and his wife, Ángela López Martínez, whom Gabriel considered his real parents. Juana had a stall at a public market and as her spouse had allegedly abandoned her, she had little time save for work. Javier Solís was born Gabriel Siria Levario, the first of three children of Francisco Siria Mora, a baker/butcher, and Juana Levario Plata, a trader.
