Enrique Martín Morales(Spanish pronunciation:[enˈɾikemaɾˈtinmoˈɾales]; born December 24, 1971), better known as Ricky Martin, is aPuerto Rican singer, songwriter, actor, author, record producer and humanitarian who is known as the "King of Latin Pop" and the "Latin Music King". He began his career at age 12 with the all-boy pop groupMenudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s. Since the beginning of his solo career in 1991, Ricky Martin has become one ofthe best-selling Latin music artists of all time with over 70 million records worldwide. He also ranks among the most influential Latin artists of all time and the greatest music video artists of all time.
In early 1999, after releasing several albums in Spanish, Martin performed "The Cup of Life" at the41st Annual Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene. Following its success, Martin released "Livin' la Vida Loca", which helped him attain success worldwide. It is generally seen as the song that began theLatin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition easier for other Spanish-speaking artists to move into the English-speaking market. His first English-language album (titledRicky Martin), sold 15 million copies and is his best selling album to date. His other studio albums include:Ricky Martin (1991),Me Amaras (1993),A Medio Vivir (1995),Vuelve (1998),Sound Loaded (2000),Almas del Silencio (2003),Life (2005),Música + Alma + Sexo (2011), andA Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015).
