About Alejandro Sanz

  • Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro, better known as Alejandro Sanz (Spanish pronunciation: [ale'xand?o 'san?]; born December 18, 1968) is a Spanish musician, singer and composer.
  • Sanz has won 17 Latin Grammy Awards and three Grammy Awards.
  • He has received the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year three times, more than any other artist.
  • The singer is notable for his flamenco-influenced ballads, and has also experimented with several other genres including pop, rock, funk, R&B and jazz. Born in Madrid to parents from Andalusia, Sanz began playing guitar at age seven, taking influence from his family's flamenco roots.
  • Sanz released his debut album at age nineteen, although he did not gain commercial success in Spain until his second release, Viviendo Deprisa.
  • His next two records, Si Tú Me Miras (1993) and 3 (1995) also fared well commercially, but it was his 1997 breakthrough album Más that garnered international success.
  • El Alma al Aire followed in 2000, selling more than a million copies in its first week.
  • In 2002, he became the first Spanish artist to record an MTV Unplugged album. His collaboration with Shakira on the 2005 single "La Tortura" reached number one on several charts worldwide.
  • He experimented with more diverse styles of music with the albums No Es lo Mismo (2003) and El Tren de los Momentos (2006), while his 2009 release, Paraíso Express served as a return to form for the musician.
  • Sanz signed to Universal Music Group in 2011 and released his tenth studio album, La Música No Se Toca, in 2012, followed by Sirope in 2015.
