   1995年出道的恩里克·伊格莱西亚斯唱片销量高达1 000万张之多,可以说是唱片销量最好的拉丁歌手。令大家佩服的是他不但不愿意接受父亲胡里奥的庇护,也不希望别人拿他跟父亲比较,恩里克就是凭着自己的实力闯出了自己的天空。他那深情的歌声和演绎征服了无数歌迷的心。虽然恩里克是拉丁男孩,但从他身上却看不出拉丁民族热情奔放的特质,反而是羞涩敏感的性格,特别吸引人。
  
  At the dawn of the new millennium, Enrique Iglesias, the son of multimillion-selling singer Julio Iglesias, was the best-selling Latin recording artist in the world. In 1982, his mother sent him to live in Miami with his father. While there, Enrique was exposed to different cultures and musical influences—European, and American.
  Iglesias’ own career started when he was still attending Gulliver Private School, a very prestigious school in Miami. He made his singing debut in a production of Hello Dolly, after which he began practicing his singing without his parents knowing. After a year studying business at the University of Miami, he decided to follow his passion for music.
  That first album, Enrique Iglesias (1996), sold more than a million copies in three months (it earned him his first gold record in Portugal in a mere seven days) and to date has sold more than six million worldwide. The second album, Vivir (1997), enjoyed global sales of more than five million discs.
  In a mere three years, Iglesias had sold more than 17 million Spanish-language albums, more than anyone else during that period. He also won the 1996 Grammy for Best Latin Performer, 1996’s Billboard Artist of the Year, Billboard’s Album of the Year for Vivir, and two American Music Awards, in addition to countless accolades around the world.
  
  恩里克·伊格莱西亚斯是新千年伊始全球拉丁语唱片销量最佳的艺人。他出生在西班牙的马德里,其父是唱片销量曾达数百万的大名鼎鼎的胡里奥·伊格莱西亚斯。1982年他母亲把他送到了迈阿密——他父亲那儿。在那里,他受到了欧洲、美洲不同文化和音乐的影响。
   当伊格莱西亚斯还在迈阿密很有声望的格列佛私利学校上学的时候,他就开始了自己的事业。他在戏剧《Hello Dolly》中完成了自己的首次登台演唱,从那以后他就开始瞒着父母练习唱歌。在迈阿密大学学了一年贸易之后,他决定从事自己热衷的音乐事业。第一张专辑《恩里克·伊格莱西亚斯》(1996)在三个月里就卖了100多万张。这张唱片仅在七天之内就为他在葡萄牙赢得了首个金曲奖。到现在这张唱片在世界范围内的销量超过了600多万张。他的第二张专辑《Vivir》(1997)在全世界销量超过了500多万张。
   仅仅在三年时间里,伊格莱西亚斯的西班牙语专辑销量就超过了1 700多万张。在那个时期这一成绩是无人企及的。1996年,他还赢得了格莱美最佳拉丁艺人奖,Bill-board年度最佳艺人奖,他的专辑《Vivir》还获得了年度最佳专辑奖。此外他还赢得了两项全美音乐大奖以及世界各地不计其数的其他荣誉。
