Enrique Iglesias

He currently dates professional tennis star Anna Kournikova. However, such crossover success seems imminent, as new mainstream radio stations continue to add the song to their playlists every week. Iglesias has won numerous awards during his career as a singer, including the Grammy. The song has managed to achieve this feat essentially on the strength of urban radio airplay alone as it has not yet had massive pop crossover success. In 2001, he released his English CD, "Enrique", with its song, Hero, becoming a number one hit in many countries. 1 on the Hot 100. Iglesias' "Rhythm Divine" became a number 1 hit. It is Juvenile's and guest artist Soulja Slim's first No.

By 1999, Iglesias had begun a successful cross-over career into the English music market. The song topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart on August 7, 2004 knocking Usher's "Confessions" (part 2) out of number one after only two weeks. In 1997, Iglesias' star continued to rise with the release of Vivir, which put him up in sales with other, English music superstars for that year. This summer, his Juve The Great album has spawned a massive hit called "Slow Motion". His song Por Amarte was included in Televisa's telenovela Marisol, but with a twist: instead of saying por amarTE yo moriría (to love YOU, I'd die), it said por amarte MARISOL moriría (to love you MARISOL, I'd die). He has released a total of nine albums. Titled Enrique Iglesias, it included mega-hits Por Amarte, Trapecista, and others. His latest album is Juve The Great(2004).

In 1996, he released his first album in Spanish. Juvenile returned to Cash Money in 2003. Months later, he was signed by Fonovisa and went to Toronto to record his first CD in total anonymity. After the lackluster reception of The G-Code and Project English (2001), which only contained the very minor hit single, "From Your Momma", Juvenile left Cash Money Records, releasing The Compilation in 2002 with the UTP (Uptown Project Playas) crew. It was with that pseudonym that he promoted his demos across Central America. Warlock Records released a remixed version of Being Myself at the same time. Iglesias first performed while in high school, in Hello Dolly. While attending the University of Miami, he went into an audition with his future manager, using the name Enrique Martínez. In 1999, Solja Rags was re-released nationally to ride the wave of popularity Juvenile was enjoying with the release of 400 Degreez and its smash lead single, "Back That Ass Up", which eventually became a pop crossover hit in early 2000.

After the kidnapping of Iglesias' grandfather in Spain, Enrique moved to Miami, in 1985. While in Miami, Enrique enjoyed the luxuries of being the son of a billionaire, but he developed a taste for simpler things, a fact that would later surface in his concerts, where he appeared plainly in all white, including white cotton shirts. In 1997, Solja Rags, Juvenile's debut with Cash Money Records, was an underground hit. He is the brother of Chabeli Iglesias and Julio José Iglesias. He began recording in a distinctive southern style with Being Myself (1995, Warlock Records). Iglesias is the son of the famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and of Spanish-mestiza Philippine socialite Isabel Preysler. Juvenile (born Terius Gray) is a gangsta rapper from New Orleans. Enrique Iglesias (born May 8, 1975 in Madrid, Spain) is a Miami-based Spanish singing sensation and multi-million album seller. Juvenile Lyrics (http://lyrics.rare-lyrics.com/J/Juvenile.html).
