Alejandro Sanz Biography

Alejandro Sanz is one of the most popular and richest World Music Singer who was born on December 18, 1968 in Madrid, Spain. Multiple Latin Grammy and Grammy Award-winning Spanish born singer who released the hit album Mas in 1997.

Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro, better known as Alejandro Sanz (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈxandɾo ˈsanθ] ; born December 18, 1968), is a Spanish musician, singer and composer. Sanz has won 17 Latin Grammy Awards and three Grammy Awards. He has received the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year three times, more than any other artist. The singer is notable for his flamenco-influenced ballads, and has also experimented with several other genres including pop, rock, funk, R&B and jazz.

As a teenager, Sanz performed in various venues in his hometown. He became acquainted with Miguel Ángel Arenas, a music industry executive who had signed several popular Spanish groups such as Mecano. Arenas helped Sanz find work, eventually leading to a record deal with the Spanish label Hispavox. In 1989 Sanz released his debut album, Los Chulos Son Pa’ Cuidarlos under the name of Alejandro Magno (Spanish for “Alexander the Great”). The record, which fused techno and flamenco, was met with critical and commercial indifference, and today Sanz views the record to be “insignificant”. However, the album is now considered to be a collector’s item. In an attempt to promote Los Chulos Son Pa’ Cuidarlos, he performed at strip clubs, playing short sets between acts. This proved to be unsuccessful and Sanz took a break from music, choosing to study business administration. He also took a job at a recording studio in which he wrote material for other artists. He persuaded Arenas to send demos of his songs to record companies, which led to being signed by Warner Music Latina. At this time, he began performing under his current name.

He married his second wife, Raquel Perera, in May of 2012. He has two sons, Alexander and Dylan, and a daughter, Manuela.

Inspired by his father, who was a guitar salesman, he learned to play the guitar at age seven. His music was heavily influenced by the genre of flamenco music.

He has won more than a dozen Latin Grammy Awards.

Sanz was born in Madrid, Spain, on December 18, 1968, the youngest son of María Pizarro and Jesús Sánchez. He grew up in the neighborhood of Moratalaz in eastern Madrid. Sanz recalled that “Back then, kids grew up on the street…I was a bit like the group troubadour; the one who played the guitar and sang. That kept me out of a lot of trouble.” Sanz’s father, a door-to-door book salesman, played guitar professionally, which inspired seven-year-old Sanz to learn to play the instrument. He pursued the instrument with an intensity that eventually frustrated his mother, who broke his guitar one morning after his playing kept the family from sleeping.

Born in Madrid to parents from Andalusia, Sanz began playing guitar at age seven, taking influence from his family’s flamenco roots. Sanz released his debut album at age nineteen, although he did not gain commercial success in Spain until his second release, Viviendo Deprisa. His next two records, Si Tú Me Miras (1993) and 3 (1995) also fared well commercially, but it was his 1997 breakthrough album Más that garnered international success. El Alma al Aire followed in 2000, selling more than a million copies in its first week. In 2002, he became the first Spanish artist to record an MTV Unplugged album.

Sanz spent two years in Milan, Italy to work on a follow-up for 3. For the album, he wished to create a “true fusion” of many different sounds, and began studying the saxophone and piano in addition to guitar. In 1997, Sanz released his fifth studio album, Más, a record containing ballads strongly influenced by flamenco, pop, and tropical rhythms. Driven by the singles “Corazón Partío”, “Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella?”, “Amiga Mía”, “Aquello Que Me Diste”, and “Siempre Es de Noche”, Más sold more than two million copies in Spain and was certified 22× Platinum in the country, making it the best-selling album in Spanish history. The album remained on the Billboard Latin Albums chart for 74 weeks, and one year after the record’s release, Sanz was granted an Ondas Award for Best Song for “Corazón Partío”. According to David Cazares of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the album “made Sanz an international star on the strength of the pop-salsa hit ‘Corazón Partío’, a song on the lips of fans from Spain to Cuba and the United States.” Following the success of the album, Sanz began touring in United States for the first time.

Early in his career, Sanz’ music generally consisted of romantic ballads. However, in the late 1990s, his collaborations with other artists greatly expanded his musical style. On No Es lo Mismo, he experimented with rock, salsa, and hip hop. While recording the album, Sanz noted that he often entered the studio with a rough idea for a song and the guest artists would “contaminate it with their rhythms…in a good way.” El Tren de los Momentos continued this pattern of musical experimentation, featuring diverse genres such as funk, jazz, and country. Despite this, Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic described his musical evolution by saying “Even as Sanz broadened his style over the years, he never ventured far from his strength: romantic songs, generally ballads, tinged with flamenco and sung wholeheartedly with his distinct voice.”

His fifth album, El Alma al Aire, released September 26, 2000, featured Sanz exploring a wider array of musical genres, including jazz, R&B, soul and tango. In Spain, the album sold more than one million copies in the first week, breaking the record of one million copies sold in four months, also set by Sanz with his previous album, Más. At the 2001 Latin Grammy Awards, Sanz walked away with four awards: Best Pop Male Vocal Album and Album of the Year for El Alma al Aire, and Record of the Year and Song of the Year for the title track from the album. Later that year, El Alma al Aire was released in a special edition including Sanz’s duets with Irish band The Corrs. In October 2001, Sanz collaborated with Michael Jackson and various other artists on the Spanish version of the charity single “What More Can I Give”, which benefited the victims of the September 11 attacks.
