One of the biggest Latin artists of all time, Ricky Martin is a globally recognized singer and actor known for his sophisticated, high-energy brand of pop. Martin initially gained fame in his teens as the lead singer of the popular boy band Menudo. He also became an actor, earning praise from the Mexican motion picture industry and starring as bartender Miguel Morez on the American soap opera General Hospital. While he won a Grammy for his 1998 solo album Vuelve, it was his 1999 English-language album Ricky Martin that propelled him to stardom. Buoyed by the hits "Livin' la Vida Loca" and "She's All I Ever Had," the record proved an international sensation, topping the Billboard 200 and selling over 15 million copies worldwide. Along with founding the nonprofit charity the Ricky Martin Foundation, Martin has remained a star, releasing a number of platinum albums, including 2000's Sound Loaded, 2005's Life, and 2015's Grammy-winning A Quien Quiera Escuchar. In 2020 and 2021, he was back on the Billboard Latin charts with the Pausa and Play EPs.

. The experience made him a deeply religious child, and he first began singing in his Baptist church. Still, he didn't really get serious about music until age 17, when he began writing his own songs using a cheap Casio keyboard given to him by a friend. Initially influenced by early-'80s R&B, he progressed rapidly, and by 1991 he was performing on the New York club scene, despite ridicule from classmates who couldn't imagine the shy, awkward teenager doing anything of the sort. After making a name for himself, he signed a recording contract with Columbia in 1994.
