From a young age, Iglesias demonstrated a passion for songwriting, penning his first songs at 16. He adopted the pseudonym “Enrique Martinez,” hoping to carve out his own identity away from his father’s shadow. His breakthrough came in 1995 when he released his self-titled debut album, which quickly became a success, particularly in Latin markets. With hits like “Bailamos” and “Hero,” Iglesias solidified his place in the music industry, and his recognition only grew with subsequent albums.
