Life and Career[]

Although Lucía Gil first rose to fame when she won the first season of the Spanish version of My Camp Rock in 2009, by that time she had already participated in the TV singing competition Veo Veo at the age of seven[2] and had uploaded multiple videos of cover songs on YouTube. In 2009, at the age of 10, Lucía Gil entered the competition My Camp Rock produced by Disney Channel Spain. She advanced to the semifinals and then the finals. Having received the most votes on the Disney Channel Spain website, she was announced as the winner.

Also in 2009, Lucía Gil was asked by RTVE to play the part of the daughter of one of the two protagonist families in the TV series Gran Reserva. It was premiered on La 1 in 2010 and gained Lucía more fame, but her character was killed in an accident at the end of the first season.

Presently, she is acting in two TV series, La Gira, which is produced by Disney Channel Spain, and Violetta, which is produced by Disney Channel Latin America. In La Gira ("On Tour"), Lucía plays Laura, who is one of the main characters and the lead singer of the band Pop4U. Lucía has also recorded several songs for that program.

As of May 2013, Lucía Gil is filming a new TV series called The Avatars. The series is in English, with American actors, and is aimed at the international market. It is produced by the Spanish company Portocabo and is being filmed in Spain. There is already a preliminary agreement to broadcast it in Italian on Rai Kids and in Germany. Lucía will play Carmen, a videoblogger and fan of a band named The Avatar. Carmen will come to the U.S. to meet her favorite band and will join the fight against other girls for the heart of the main male protagonist.
