Marc Anthony
Marco Antonio Muñiz was born in New York City on September 16, 1968. His parents are from Guayama, Puerto Rico. He grew up in El Barrio East Harlem.
Remember Menudo?
Anthony started as a songwriter and backing vocalist for Puerto Rican boy band Menudo.
He was part of several “Freestyle” hits. That was an English-language blend of disco and hip-hop popular in the late 1980s and early 90s.
Louie Vega, Tito Puente and Otra Nota
Anthony started working with the now legendary DJ and producer Louie Vega. The two opened for Latin Jazz legend Tito Puente at Madison Square Garden in 1992. The concert gave Anthony a lot of visibility in NYC’s Latin community.
In 1993 Anthony made the leap into salsa with Otra Nota (Another Note). The story is that he decided to sing salsa after hearing a Juan Gabriel song on the radio in a taxi. Soon Anthony was one of salsa’s rising stars.
La India Vivir Lo Nuestro
Along the way Anthony lost his way like many artists do. La India cleaned him up. Together they sang Vivir Lo Nuestro on her Dicen Que Soy album in 1994.
Y Hubo Alguien
Anthony’s third Spanish-language album Contra la Corriente (1997) included the hit Y Hubo Alguien. It was Anthony’s first number-one single on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks, and the first Salsa record to hit that spot. Contra la Corriente also crossed over onto the Billboard 200 chart.
I Need to Know in English
In 1999, Anthony crossed back over into English when his self-titled album. “I Need to Know” became a Top 5 single.
