Luis Fonsi Biography
Initially molded as a traditional Latin balladeer, one who
sings romantic songs with much dramatic flair over sweeping string
arrangements, Luis Fonsi enjoyed much success as such, though he began
to break from that mold steadily, beginning with Paso a Paso in 2005,
and enjoyed even greater success and more critical acclaim as a result.
Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Orlando, FL, Fonsi dove into show
business at a young age, singing in a school vocal group called the Big
Guys that also included future *NSYNC star Joey Fatone. Following high
school, Fonsi studied singing at Florida State University and scored a
contract offer from Universal Latino. He debuted on Universal in 1998
with Comenzare, which did well, peaking at number 27 on Billboard's Top
Latin Albums chart and spawning four hit singles: Si Tu Quisieras,
Perdóname, Dime Como, and Me Iré. His follow-up album, Eterno,
released in 2000, did even better, peaking at number six on the Top
Latin Albums chart and spawning another four hit singles, among them
the chart-topping Imaginame sin Ti. And so it went for the next few
years -- more releases, more commercial success. Amor Secreto topped
the Latin album chart in 2002 and Abrazar la Vida came close in 2003,
both of them carried by numerous hits. The only mishap for Fonsi during
this remarkable run was an English-language crossover attempt, Fight
the Feeling, that came and went very quickly in 2002, a clear
miscalculation.
When time came for Fonsi to record his sixth album, to be released in
2005, he went out on a limb, recruiting producer Sebastian Krys, who
had previously worked with the likes of Carlos Vives, Obie Bermúdez,
and JD Natasha. The resulting album, Paso a Paso, was still a Latin pop
excursion through and through, but in general, it featured guitars in
the forefront rather than sweeping strings. It also explored different
kinds of rhythms and arrangements, resulting in Fonsi's most distinct
and creative album to date. Critics, who hadn't always been kind to
Fonsi, were mostly positive and liked what they heard. Moreover and
more importantly, the public loved the lead single, Nada Es Para
Siempre, and lined up in droves to buy the album when it was released
in late summer. Paso a Paso debuted at number two on the Top Latin
Albums chart, setting up yet another great run for Fonsi, who now found
himself more aligned with successful yet inventive Latin stars like
Juanes than the generic balladeers he had previously kept company with.
