Enrique "Ricky" Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), better known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican and Spanish pop singer and actor who achieved prominence, first as a member of the Latin boy band Menudo, then as a solo artist since 1991. During his career he has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide. He is the founder of Ricky Martin Foundation (in Spanish Fundación Ricky Martin), a non-profit charity organization aimed at ending human trafficking.
Martin got his start at age twelve with the all-boy pop group Menudo; after five years with the group, he released his Spanish-language solo album, Ricky Martin, in 1991. He also acted on stage and on TV in Mexico, becoming a modest star there. In 1994 he starred on the American TV soap opera General Hospital,
playing a Puerto Rican singer. In 1999, after several albums in
Spanish, he released his first English-language album (also titled Ricky Martin), which included "Livin' la Vida Loca". The album sold 22 million copies and brought Martin international fame. His other studio albums include: Me Amarás (1993), A Medio Vivir (1995), Vuelve (1998), Sound Loaded (2000), Almas del Silencio (2003), Life (2005), and Música + Alma + Sexo (2011).
On
the edge of the new millennium, Martin—almost by himself—gave
Latino music an international face. An acclaimed performance at the 1999
Grammy Awards launched Martin into worldwide super-stardom. As Entertainment Weekly's Andrew Essex reported, "his leather-pants, electro-pelvis version of 'La Copa de la Vida'
single-handedly goosed a very dull [Grammy] telecast, earning him a
standing ovation." In 2010, Martin announced that he was a "fortunate
homosexual man", ending years of fan speculation on the topic. His twin
sons, Matteo and Valentino, were born via a surrogate mother in 2008.
Martin also co-owns a Miami restaurant, Casa Salsa, and received a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2007. Source: Wikipedia
