Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born Marco Antonio Muñiz on September 16, 1968, in New York City, he was raised in a household where his mother, Guillermina, was a housewife and his father, Felipe, worked in a hospital cafeteria and as a musician. Both parents hailed from Puerto Rico, and Marc grew up in East Harlem as the youngest of eight children in a Roman Catholic upbringing.

He was introduced to music through his father, who taught him to sing in both Spanish and English. Named after the Mexican singer Marco Antonio Muñiz, he started his career as a session vocalist in freestyle music and underground New York house music before moving on to songwriting and providing backing vocals for pop groups like Menudo and Latin Rascals. To avoid confusion with his namesake, he adopted the name Marc Anthony. He gained recognition by performing a salsa style influenced heavily by the African American and urban genres he enjoyed during his youth.

Music Career

Marc Anthony’s debut album, a freestyle music record titled “Rebel,” launched in 1988 under Bluedog Records. Throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s, he engaged in various projects, including writing and producing “Boy I’ve Been Told” for Sa-Fire and collaborating with Chrissy I-eece on the duet “You Should Know By Now” alongside Little Louie Vega and Todd Terry. Additionally, he featured in several freestyle club hits like “Ride On The Rhythm” and “Time.”

Initially hesitant to embrace a salsa career, Marc ultimately transitioned and teamed up with RMM Records to release his Spanish-language debut, “Otra Nota,” in 1993. He followed up with “Todo a su Tiempo” in 1995, earning a “Billboard” Award for Hot Tropical Artist of the Year and a Grammy nomination. This album sold over 800,000 copies and achieved Gold certification in both the United States and Puerto Rico. In 1997, he released “Contra La Coriente,” featuring the track “Y Huubo Alguien,” which became his first #1 single on the “Billboard” Hot Latin Tracks and marked the first salsa song to top that chart. It was also notable for being the first salsa album to break into the “Billboard” 200 chart. In 1999, he departed from RMM and signed with Sony Records.

Capitalizing on the wave of Spanish-language artists gaining traction in the Anglophone market, such as Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias, Anthony released his English-language album “Marc Anthony” in 1999. The album debuted at #8 on the “Billboard” 200 chart and was certified Platinum just six weeks later, eventually achieving triple platinum status. His song “I Need To Know” received a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Since then, he has produced the albums “Libre” (2001), “Mended” (2002), “Amar Sin Mentiras” (2004), “Valio la Pena” (2004), “El Cantante” (2007), “Iconos” (2010), “3.0” (2013), “Opus” (2019), and “Pa’llá Voy” (2022).
