Enrique Iglesias
In three years he has sold more than ten million copies of his first two albums,
entitled ENRIQUE IGLESIAS and VIVIR. Now his new album, COSAS DEL
AMOR, includes six songs written by Iglesias himself. Never before has any
performer achieved so much in so little time. Winner of the GRAMMY Award for
the Best Latin Pop Performer, Enrique Iglesias is the most impressive Hispanic
phenomenon of the last 25 years and he appears to be the greatest international
star in this next decade.
Born on May 8, 1975, in Madrid, Spain, Enrique Iglesias began his career in
1995, when he was barely 20 years old and made his appearance in the music
world with his first album, which he had been secretly planning since he was 16
without anyone, not even his family, knowing. He has been on top ever since.
In the first three months he sold his first million copies and he earned his first
gold record in Portugal after three weeks on the market.
His first album, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, has sold 5.8 million copies and VIVIR
(January 1997) has sold over five million copies throughout the world.
In the United States alone he has earned two platinum records, as certified by
the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), for sales of over two
million copies of his first two records. Nine of his songs have ranked number one
on the radio stations of over 19 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia, proof
of how solid his international career is.
The singles, SI TU TE VAS, POR AMARTE, EXPERIENCIA RELIGIOSA,
TRAPECISTA and NO LLORES POR MI from the first album, ENRIQUE
IGLESIAS, and ENAMORADO POR PRIMERA VEZ, SOLO EN TI, MIENTE y
REVOLUCION, have been number one on the Billboard Magazine list in the
United States and in 18 other countries.
He has recorded in three languages, including Italian, Portuguese and, of course,
Spanish. He set out planning to record in English, his second language, but
decided to begin his career in Spanish and hopes to record his first album in
English in the year 2000. He has already written various songs in English. To
date, Enrique Iglesias has written the lyrics and music for 16 songs on his three
albums.
In 1997 he did his first World Tour, entitled VIVIR, which included 78 concerts in
13 countries, which were attended by more than 720,000 people. During his first
world tour, Iglesias performed at various stadiums with a capacity of over 50,000
spectators each. In the United States he performed at 19 arenas. For the Latin
American part of his tour, two cargo planes were charted to transport all his
stage, lighting and sound equipment.
When the VIVIR World Tour went to Europe, it became necessary to charter a
Jumbo cargo jet. This tour, which was well-received by the critics, is considered
the biggest one by a Latin performer, making Iglesias not only the best-selling
Latin recording artist but also the most successful one on stage.
Enrique Iglesias is a perpetual jokester, sportsmanlike, enthusiastic, an
old-fashioned romantic, an optimist, a devotee of the cinema, a loyal television
viewer and an inveterate consumer of any and all music that falls into his hands.
He hates photographs, phoniness, limousines, people with ulterior motives and
getting up early. Since the age of seven, he has lived in Miami, Florida, where he
went to school, and he has enjoyed the best of three cultures --Hispanic,
European and American --, each with its own musical influence, which is what
interests him most.
Enrique Iglesias' list of awards and trophies is impressive, including 116 platinum
records, 227 gold, 26 international awards, including the 1996 Grammy to the
Best Latin Performer, 1997 Billboard Magazine Album of the Year, World Music
Award to the best-selling Latin recording artist in the world, seven Premio Lo
Nuestro awards, two ACE Performer of the Year awards, two ASCAP to the Best
Composer in 1996 and 1997, and nominations for Best Latin Performer in the
Grammy Awards and the American Music Awards in 1997.
Enrique Iglesias' music in Spanish has also conquered Asia, where he has
earned gold or platinum records in countries including Taiwan, Thailand and
Singapore. He has also done intensive and successful promotional work. His face
has appeared on over 250 magazine covers and he has recorded over 190
television programs in 23 countries.
