"I feel Spanish, but I love America. I love living in America."

Enrique is very close to his large family – he has one big sister, one big brother, four little sisters and two little brothers.
On his rare days off, he loves to go waterskiing, grab a cheeseburger with his friends, and, believe it or not, go shopping for groceries!
________________________________________
"And I just love sleeping in my own bed so much."
________________________________________
Enrique is very laid back when it comes to fashion – he hates shopping for clothes, and never wears any cologne.
________________________________________
"If you go out on a date with me, you won't be knocked out by my aftershave, just my natural Spanish scent."
________________________________________
He's terrified of rats, cockroaches, and flying in planes! (bless)
Enrique's best qualities are his sense of humour, his modesty, and his ability to focus single mindedly on what he wants.
He's quite shy in person, but his shyness disappears the minute he gets on the stage.
________________________________________
"In life, I'm not like I am onstage, which is someone who is not embarassed by anything. When I perform, I feel like a superhero."
________________________________________
His greatest passion is music.
________________________________________
"Music is the only thing I know how to do, the only thing I really love."
________________________________________
He writes most of his songs in his bedroom late at night.
He started writing songs when he was 13.
________________________________________
"I just used to lock myself in my room and write songs, because for me, writing is like a diary."
________________________________________
He kept his career plans a secret from his family until he'd finished recording his first album in Canada at the age of 19.
________________________________________
"I never told them about my musical dreams because it felt like a secret to me when I was a child. I thought that the minute that I told anyone about them, they would be ruined."
________________________________________
He secured his first record contract with Fonovisa under the pseudonym Enrique Martinez and soon became that label's "messiah."
________________________________________
"I wanted to do it myself. I was rejected by many labels but it gave me more strength to keep going."
________________________________________
He refused to take any professional help from his father, but gives him credit for showing him that the way to success is hard work.
________________________________________
"I just saw him work hard. Hard work helped him advance from a little house to a bigger house to an even bigger house, from a bus to a plane, his own plane."
________________________________________
His musical influences come from the 1980s artists he grew up with such as Dire Straits, The Police, U2, and even Bruce Springsteen.
________________________________________
"I'm Latin and always will be but my music is not. Even when I sang only in Spanish, it was still pop."
________________________________________
He is completely bilingual - he thinks and dreams in both Spanish and English.
He has also recorded songs in Portuguese, Italian and French.
He won a Grammy award for Best Latin Performance at the tender age of 21.
He has a string of prestigious awards to his name, including two American Music Awards, four World Music Awards and several ASCAP songwriting awards.
He was voted "sexiest man in the world" by People en Espanol magazine in 1998.
He dedicated his first album to his nanny, Elvira Olivares (awwww).
He has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.
Escape is his fifth album but his second in English.
________________________________________
"This is the album that is the most like me."
________________________________________
His next Spanish album Quizas is released in September 2002.
________________________________________
"The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer."
________________________________________
He scored his first ever UK number one with his beautiful ballad Hero and stayed at the top of the chart for a whole month.
His first UK tour in 2002 sold out 11 dates, including three nights at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
________________________________________
"It's just exploded. From nothing to selling out the Albert Hall. That was the only place left in the world it had left to break and it meant so much to me, musically. So I feel vindicated. I guess."
________________________________________
He will make his debut as an actor next year when the film "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" is released.
________________________________________
"I don't know if I'm a good or bad actor, I just know that I like it."
________________________________________
Enrique appreciates his fans more than most celebrities - he always tries to make time to speak with them and sign autographs.
________________________________________
"I love my fans, I mean, I have the best fans in the world."
