DATE OF BIRTH: 8th May 1975 KEY FACTS: Enrique Iglesias was born in Madrid, Spain. Son of international music superstar Julio Iglesias, Enrique was brought up in Miami and started writing songs at the age of 15. By the age of 17 his blend of American and Latin musical influences scored Enrique a three-album deal and $1m advance from an LA independent label. The release of his eponymous debut in 1995 later earned him a Billboard Album Of The Year (new artist), and two World Music Awards. It sold 6 million copies world-wide. The deal with Fonovisa was struck with Enrique masquerading as a Colombian hopeful using the surname Martinez, a ploy devised to hide any connection with his father, Julio Iglesias. In fact, by the time Iglesias senior found out about his son dropping out of a business degree to pursue a career in music, his first album was about to be released. Enrique inherited his father's good looks, and like all the studs at classichunkofman he looks best with his shirt OFF! Here you can see why!
