Marc Anthony

Born in New York in 1968 into a Puerto Rican family living in East Harlem, Marc Anthony, whose real name is Marco Antonio Muñiz, first trained on the New York freestyle and house scenes in the late 1980s, before steering his career toward salsa and tropical music. After Rebel in 1988, he begins this shift with Otra Nota in 1993, then follows with Todo a Su Tiempo in 1995 and Contra la Corriente in 1997, records that establish an approach to salsa nourished by bolero, Latin pop and R&B. Marc Anthony then alternates productions in Spanish and in English, notably with Marc Anthony in 1999, Libre in 2001, Mended in 2002, Amar Sin Mentiras and Valió la Pena in 2004, then Iconos in 2010, 3.0 in 2013, Opus in 2019, Pa’llá Voy in 2022 and Muevense in 2024. His career also includes notable duets with Jennifer Lopez and Tina Arena, as well as a regular collaboration with producer Sergio George. On stage, Marc Anthony moves between salsa concerts, Latin pop formats and large international tours, with a tense, highly projected singing voice, and a repertoire that blends Caribbean rhythms, ballads and urban arrangements. Parallel to music, Marc Anthony has also pursued acting in cinema, theatre and television.
