When she was twelve years old, Brissia participated in the second season of the Mexican reality TV show for children, Código F.A.M.A. She placed fifth and received a silver medal.

In 2006, Brissia participated in the Telemundo reality singing competition Quinceañera: Mamá Quiero Ser Artista in the United States.

Brissia finished in second place with Iraheta taking the grand prize.[5][6]

In 2007, she took part in a reality show called Buscando a Timbiriche, La Nueva Banda. She selected as the first member of the band. She sang the first song on their album, along with teammate Eduardo. Brissia left the band in 2009 to pursue a solo career. In 2011, Brissia was cast as in a lead role in the Mexican theatre production of Hairspray with friend and former La Nueva Banda bandmate, Eduardo Brito.[7][8] The pair were invited to perform at festivals throughout Mexico in late 2010. In August 2011, Brissia was cast in an episode of the Mexican television series, Como Dice El Dicho. The episode aired in September 2011. This appearance marked her debut appearance as an actress as well as her first television appearance since Buscando a Timbiriche, La Nueva Banda.[9]
