Mini bio
How it started.
Ricky Martin began his international career in the Puerto Rican group Menudo, joining in 1984. After five years with the group, he built a solo career and released his self-titled debut in 1991. Television and stage work became part of his story too, including General Hospital and Les Misérables.
The world joins in.
“María” and the 1998 World Cup song “La Copa de la Vida” carried his music across borders. His performance of “The Cup of Life” at the 1999 Grammy Awards introduced him to a wider American audience, and “Livin’ la Vida Loca” became a defining song of his English-language breakthrough.
More sides of Ricky.
His career moves between dance songs, ballads, collaborations and acting. He played Antonio D’Amico in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, earning an Emmy nomination, and later took on Robert in Palm Royale. His recent music revisits familiar songs with collaborators including Carín León, TINI, Los Ángeles Azules and Luan Santana.
