Ricky MartinRicky Martin was born on December 24 in 1971, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is a pop singer. Ricky began appearing in commercials on local television ah the age of six, but his debut, solo album, Ricky Martin released in 1988 by the Sony LAtion division, followed by a second effort Me Amaras in 1989.
In 1993, Martin made his American TV debut in the NBC sitcom Getting By, in Los Angeles. Then, he acted on ABC´s daytime soap opera, Gerenal Hospital and in 1996 he started in the Broadway production of Les Miserables.
While Martin was actively pursuing his acting career, he was also recording and releasing albums and making concert appearances. His third album, A Medio Vivir, came out in 1997, the same year that he lent his voice to the Spanish language version of Disney´s animated feature, Hercules. His fourth album, Vuelve, released in 1998, featured the hit single, "La Copa de la Vida", which Ricky performed at the 1998 World Cup soccer tournament in France.
At the Grammy Awards in February 1999, Martin gave a sizziling performance of "La Copa de la Vida" at Los Angeles´s Shrine Auditorium just before picking up an award for Best Latin Pop performance for Vuelve.
To add to the phenomenal popular success of his debut English album and single, Martin was nominated in four categories at the Grammy Awards, held in February 2000. Although he lost in all four categories.
In recent years, Ricky has continued making music both in Spanish and English. His greatest Spanish lenguage hits were compiled on La Historia (2001). This was fallowed two years later by Almas del Silencio, which contained new material sung in Spanish. The album Life (2005) was his first English language allbum since 2000. Ricky Martin , however, has yet to be able to recapture the same level of pop success he archieved with previous albums.
