Instead of bringing her down, criticisms have only boosted the confidence of Chiquis Rivera, the daughter of the late singer Jenni Rivera.

"Thanks to those people who have said I can't sing, they have motivated me to keep going forward. My grandpa once said to me: 'People are not born singing, you learn to sing,'" Rivera said, as quoted by Latin Times.

The banda singer, who made her debut in the big screen through the movie "Tattooed Love," has expressed interest to portray her mother in the upcoming film about the late artist's life, Latin Times reported. Though some of her mom's fans are opposed to the idea, Rivera said that she is more than ready to immerse more of herself in acting.

Rivera, 30, revealed that being an actress was one of her mother's dreams for her, and she will work hard to make it all come true, the news outlet noted. She didn't reveal what kind of roles she would want to accept, but Rivera said that she is willing to take on versatility.

"I think a housewife, in real life I have been labeled as the villain, and I put myself there, and I'm ready to do some slapping, so I guess I could do both (protagonist and antagonist)," Rivera explained, as quoted by Latin Times.

"Tattooed Love" centers on the seduction, manipulation, greed, and betrayal existing in Los Angeles' club world, the movie's official site wrote. Aside from Rivera, the film also stars Edy Ganem, Catherine Toribio, Laura Flannery, Emeraude Tubia, Angelica Maria, and Marlon Moreno.

Rivera claimed the highest spot at the Top Latin Albums with her debut record "Aloha," which sold 7,000 copies in its first week, a report from Billboard noted. She is the first female to place at No. 1 in the chart since her mother on Dec. 20, 2014 with "1 Vida-3 Historias: Matamorfosis -- Despedida de Culican."

In July 2015, an estate-authorized book titled "Jenni Vive: Unforgettable, Baby!" was released to the public. The tribute book contained photos, handwritten letters, and previously unpublished pages from the late artist's personal diary, Contact Music reported. Rivera died at 43 years old in a plane crash in 2012.

Chiquis also published her own memoir, "Forgiveness," last April via Atria Books, according to a separate report from Billboard. In the memoir, Chiquis talked about her tumultuous relationship with her mother, the sexual abuse she suffered from her father when she was a child, and the period of confusion regarding her sexuality when she was an adolescent.
