Ricky Martin

Both a Grammy and multiple Latin Grammy winner; Ricky Martin is the leading Latin music figure of his generation – beloved by fans worldwide for his instinctive understanding of rhythm, passion for performing, and equal compassion for giving. Already accustomed to the spotlight from the five years he spent in Menudo, Ricky set off on his own musical path with the 1991 release of his self-titled debut solo album. With his first two albums quickly establishing Ricky Martin as a superstar throughout the Spanish-speaking world, it did not take long before magnetic acting appearances in General Hospital and a Broadway run in Les Miserables also enticed wider audiences far beyond the era’s perceived limitations of a Latin music artist. With the continuously escalating success of landmark singles such as Maria and his globally embraced 1998 World Cup Anthem La Copa de la Vida (The Cup of Life), Ricky vaulted to the level of bona fide global superstar and the natural performer to lead an oncoming cultural revolution.In 2013, Ricky Martin started another adventure, this time as one of the coaches in the second season of The Voice Australia with international stars Seal, Delta Goodrem and Joel Madden. The show pulled the highest ratings week after week, during which, Ricky released his Greatest Hits album in Australia and became the #1 album in the country.
