Profession
Alejandro Sanz began his musical journey at a young age, taking guitar lessons at the age of seven. His early influence came from his family’s love of flamenco music. Sanz released his debut album at the age of 19, but it was not until 1991 that his second album “Viviendo Deprisa” achieved commercial success in Spain.
In the following years, Sanz continued to have success with his albums Si Tú Me Miras (1993) and 3 (1995). However, it was his 1997 album Más that truly brought him international acclaim. Then, in 2000, “El Alma al Aire” became a huge success, selling more than 1 million copies in its first week.
In the early 2000s, Sanz began experimenting with his own musical style, collaborating with other artists, and incorporating genres such as rock, salsa, and hip-hop into his sound. Albums such as “No Es lo Mismo” (2003) and “El Tren de los Momentos” (2006) demonstrate this evolution in his music. In 2002, he also became the first Spanish artist to record an album for MTV Unplugged.
Sens has continued to enjoy great success over the past two decades. In 2011, he signed with Universal Music Group after 20 years with Warner. That same year, he received the Latin Heritage Award from ASCAP for his contributions to Latin music. His latest album, El Disco, was released in 2019 and included collaborations with artists such as Camila Cabello and Residente.
Throughout his impressive career of more than 30 years, Alejandro Sanz has demonstrated extraordinary versatility and innovation in his music. From his early flamenco-influenced ballads to his later, more eclectic works, he has continued to push his artistic boundaries and cemented his place as one of the most influential Spanish musicians of his generation.
