Marc Anthony

Marc Anthony has been hailed as the "reigning king of salsa" by The New York Times, which praised his "flawless singing" while calling him "somebody who could compete with the great pop figures of the (20th) century." Yet at 32, with most of his career ahead of him, Marc Anthony is already a phenomenon of the 21st.
One of Marc's first breaks came in 1992 when the legendary Latin percussionist and bandleader Tito Puente asked Vega and Anthony to open his revue at Madison Square Garden.
Anthony continued to move his career forward, but remained relatively unknown outside the Latin music world until the September 1999 release of Marc Anthony, his self-titled English-language Pop CD. The album debuted at #8 and was certified platinum six weeks later. The album has since been certified triple platinum by the RIAA.
The initial success of Marc Anthony was driven, in part, by the irresistible groove of "I Need To Know," the album's first single. The certified gold track spent 11 weeks in the Top 10 and an additional eight weeks in the Top 40. The song earned Marc a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (1999). Meanwhile, "Dimelo," the Spanish-language version of "I Need to Know," hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart and won a Latin Grammy for Song of the Year. The album's second single "You Sang To Me" hit #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart and received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance (2000). Anthony has been awarded 12 Latin and standard gold and platinum certifications by the RIAA. Marc's album Contra La Corriente was awarded a Grammy for Best Latin/Tropical Performance (1998).
Yet, Anthony's success has not been limited to the music world. He was cast by music legend Paul Simon in the Broadway musical "The Capeman" and has graced the silver screen with significant roles in Martin Scorsese's "Bringing Out the Dead" and Stanley Tucci's "Big Night." He also appeared in "The Substitute," "Hackers," and the Showtime original film "In the Time of Butterflies."
His role on Broadway as the star of "The Capeman" kept Anthony from promoting his third salsa album, Contra La Corriente, when it was initially released (it was certified gold anyway, right out of the box). As a temporary farewell of sorts, Marc gave a concert at Madison Square Garden. No salsa performer had ever been booken into the Garden, except as part of a revue. Marc Anthony sold out every seat in the house, a feat he would repeat every year thereafter. In July 2002, following the release of Mended, Anthony is embarking on his first major North American tour in nearly two years.
