Ricky Martin was born to now-divorced parents Nerieda Morales and Enrique Martin Sr., Ricky Martin has four siblings: Fernando, Vanessa, Eric and Angel. As a child he participated in school extra-curricular activities and sang in the school choir, where he began to realize that his talent captivated the audiences. Through the encouragement of his dad, he began to take voice lessons, and auditioned for television advertising spots.

Ricky Martin first achieved worldwide success with his selection to replace Ricky Melendez in the Latin boy band Menudo from 1984 until 1989. His meteoric ascent to fame started in Menudo's homebase, Caguas, site of his first concert. He signed with Sony in 1990.

After Ricky Martin left Menudo, he decided to continue his career. In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles, California. He received a role as bartender (Miguel Morez) in the American soap opera General Hospital.

Ricky Martin then established himself in Miami and began collaborating with music creator Desmond Child, former Menudo band-mate Robi Draco Rosa and Puerto Rican agent Angelo Medina. With these 2 in tow, Ricky created his first hit single in 1996 called "MarĂ­a".

Ricky Martin was then chosen to sing the anthem of the FIFA World Cup in 1998, the famous hit "The Cup of Life"/"La Copa de La Vida" that became one of the most explosive hits of the 90s, peaking high on charts worldwide.

Ricky Martin goes global. After satisfying his fans with his Spanish material for years worldwide, he prepared his first English album. The album was self-titled and crafted by some of the music industry's most outstanding producers, such as Desmond Child, Dianne Warren, William Orbit and his long time childhood friend (producer/singer) Robi Draco Rosa. Also, the album had special guests, such as the queen of pop Madonna (on the Spanglish duet "Be Careful (Cuidado con mi Corazon)") and Meja (on the single of his album called "Private Emotion"). The first and most prominent single was the unforgettable "Livin' La Vida Loca," which became a colossal hit, climbing to #1 in many different countries and continents around the world, including the U.S., the U.K, Australia, France, Italy, Greece, Israel and Japan.

Ricky Martin's album became one of the top albums of 1999, staying at the #1 spot of the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart in the U.S. for weeks, receiving great critical approval and making him a Latin pop phenomenon around the world.

Ricky Martin released his first English language album since 2000's Sound Loaded and the tenth album of his career on October 11, 2005. Most of the songs on the album, called Life, were co-written by Martin. Martin feels that the album is one of his more personal albums, saying "I was really in touch with my emotions. I think this album is very multi-layered, just like life is. It's about feeling anger. It's about feeling joy. It's about feeling uncertainty. It's about cuping a feeling. It's about feeling. And all my emotions are part of this production." The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The first single from the album was "I Don't Care"/"Que Mas Da," featuring guest appearances by Fat Joe and Amerie. The song did pretty well but grabbed more attention in Europe.

After the success of I Don't Care, Ricky Martin announced his Latin American tour called Una Noche Con Ricky Martin, promoting his latest album Life. Starting in Latin America, the tour kicked-off on November 15th in Mexico City. After finishing the first leg of the tour (which included Latin America and the U.S.), he released his next single, "It's Alright" (Spanish Version: Dejate Llevar). A different version appeared in France which included additional vocals by French Hip-Hop singer Matt Pokora. The song went to number 1 in France.

Ricky Martin performed at the 2006 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in Turin. A few days later, he announced the second leg of his world tour (which included Europe and Africa) called One Night Only/Una Noche Con Ricky Martin World Tour. The second leg started on April 21st in Manchester, U.K and will end on June 3rd in Tel Aviv, Israel. In addition he will also perform at the World Cup Fan Party in Berlin (Brandenburger Tor) on June 7, 2006, and at Lebanon's Beiteddine Festival on May 27 at the Biel seafront hall in Beirut, his first concert in the Arab world following a promise to Queen Noor on his 2005 visit to the Arab Conference in Jordan.

Ricky Martin the humantarian. In response to the Indian Ocean Tsunami, Ricky Martin, through his foundation helped build 110 houses for displaced children in Phuket. In April 2006, Martin embarked on a joint venture between the Ricky Martin Foundation and Microsoft. As part of this historic partnership, called Navega Protegido, the Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF, taped three educational multimedia videos (each one in English, Spanish and Portuguese).
