Alejandro Sanz
Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro, known professionally as Alejandro Sanz, is a celebrated Spanish musician, singer, and composer born on December 18, 1968, in Madrid, Spain. Renowned for his flamenco-influenced ballads, Sanz has also ventured into genres such as pop, rock, funk, R&B, and jazz. He began playing the guitar at age seven, inspired by his father's professional guitar career and his family's Andalusian flamenco roots.
Sanz released his debut album at 19, but it was his second album, "Viviendo Deprisa" (1991), that brought him commercial success in Spain. His international breakthrough came with the 1997 album "Más," followed by "El Alma al Aire" in 2000, which sold over a million copies in its first week. Sanz made history in 2002 as the first Spanish artist to record an MTV Unplugged album.
Throughout his career, Sanz has received numerous accolades, including 22 Latin Grammy Awards and four Grammy Awards. His collaborations with artists like Shakira, notably on the hit single "La Tortura," have achieved global success. Sanz's musical evolution continued with albums like "No Es lo Mismo" (2003), "El Tren de los Momentos" (2006), and "Paraíso Express" (2009), the latter winning a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
Sanz's later works, such as "La Música No Se Toca" (2012) and "Sirope" (2015), further solidified his status in the music industry, with "Sirope" winning a Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album. His album "#ElDisco" (2019) also earned a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. Sanz remains a significant figure in Latin music, known for his distinctive gravelly voice and his ability to blend traditional flamenco with contemporary sounds.
