Enrique Iglesias

For the economist and president of the Inter-American Development Bank, see Enrique V. Iglesias.


Enrique Iglesias (born May 8, 1975 in Madrid, Spain) is a Miami-based Spanish singing sensation and multi-million album seller. Iglesias is the son of the famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias and of Spanish-mestiza Philippine socialite Isabel Preysler. He is the brother of Chabeli Iglesias and Julio José Iglesias.

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.

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. It was with that pseudonym that he promoted his demos across Central America. Months later, he was signed by Fonovisa and went to Toronto to record his first CD in total anonymity.

In 1996, he released his first album in Spanish. Titled Enrique Iglesias, it included mega-hits Por Amarte, Trapecista, and others. 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).

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.

By 1999, Iglesias had begun a successful cross-over career into the English music market. Iglesias' "Rhythm Divine" became a number 1 hit. In 2001, he released his English CD, "Enrique", with its song, Hero, becoming a number one hit in many countries.

Iglesias has won numerous awards during his career as a singer, including the Grammy.

He currently dates professional tennis star Anna Kournikova.
