Ricky Martin, born Enrique José Martín Morales on December 24, 1971, is a Puerto Rican pop superstar who gained widespread fame not only for his infectious Latin pop songs but also for his electrifying stage presence and charismatic persona. Ricky's journey in the entertainment industry began at a tender age when he joined the Latin boy band Menudo in 1984. His tenure with the group honed his performance skills and established a fan base that would fervently follow his solo career, which he launched in 1991 with his self-titled debut album.

Martin's career took a stratospheric leap with the worldwide hit "Livin' la Vida Loca" in 1999, which became emblematic of the Latin pop explosion of the late 1990s. Since then, Ricky Martin has navigated a successful path in both music and acting, releasing multiple albums that feature a blend of pop, rock, ballads, and Latin rhythms. His artistry continues to evolve as evidenced by his recent releases, such as "Qué Rico Fuera," and "Otra Noche en L.A.," showcasing his ability to stay relevant in the ever-changing music landscape. Notably, Ricky has also explored engaging with his audience through new audio formats, as seen in "PLAY (Orbital Audio)" and other tracks designed for an immersive listening experience. Beyond his career, Martin advocates for various social causes, including children's rights, and has been a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community since publicly coming out in 2010.
