MARC ANTHONY is the most influential artist of his generation. And indeed the most eclectic, becoming not only the biggest selling salsa singer of all time, but a great theater and film actor and a producer as well.

He started writing songs in his teens. In 1991, he teamed up with producer and DJ Little Louie Vega to record When the Night Is Over, a Latin r&b and hip-hop album featuring guest appearances by Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri. It created such a stir that maestro Puente invited him to be the opening act at a Madison Square Garden concert to celebrate Puente’s 100th album release. That was the start of:

  • Over 10 million albums sold worldwide
  • Awarded over 12 Latin and Standard gold and platinum certifications by the RIAA
  • Has won a total of 16 “Premio Lo Nuestro” Awards in the span of his career. Holding the record of winning the most “Premios Lo Nuestro” Awards of all artists
  • 2005 Latin Grammy Winner – Best Latin Pop Album of the Year (Amar Sin Mentiras)
  • 2005 Latin Grammy Winner – Best Tropical Album of the Year (Valio La Pena)
  • 1999 Latin Grammy Winner – Song of the Year (“Dimelo”)
