:Marc Anthony

Marco Antonio Muñiz was born in New York City, the son of Puerto Rican parents. His father, Felipe Muñiz, was a hospital cafeteria worker and musician, and his mother, Guillermina Quiñones, was a housewife.{{Cite web|url=https://prpop.org/2017/01/al-bolero-el-papa-de-marc-anthony/|title=Al bolero el Papá de Marc Anthony|date=January 18, 2017|publisher=National Foundation for Popular Culture|location=San Juan, Puerto Rico|language=es}}

Anthony's parents named him after Mexican singer Marco Antonio Muñiz. Anthony grew up in East Harlem, also known as Spanish Harlem or El Barrio, and is the youngest of eight children. He was raised Roman Catholic.{{cite web|last=George Rush, Joanna Molloy|first=Celeste Katz|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2004/06/06/2004-06-06_j_lo_weds_hubby__3___marries.html|title=J.Lo weds hubby No. 3 Marries Marc Anthony at her swank L.A. digs|work=Daily News|quote=Both are of Puerto Rican descent and share the Catholic faith.|date=June 6, 2004|access-date=September 13, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111013060522/http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2004/06/06/2004-06-06_j_lo_weds_hubby__3___marries.html|archive-date=October 13, 2011}}

His musical education began at home, where he learned to sing in both Spanish and English under the guidance of his father, Felipe, himself a professional guitarist. As a child, Anthony listened to a variety of musical genres and performers, including rock, rhythm and blues, pop stars José Feliciano (Puerto Rico), Air Supply (Australia), as well as salsa legends Héctor Lavoe (Puerto Rico), Willie Colón (United States), and Rubén Blades (Panama), among others. According to Anthony, renowned Puerto Rican percussionist and bandleader Tito Puente in particular wielded a profound personal and professional influence throughout his life.{{Cite book|title=The Oxford encyclopedia of Latinos & Latinas in the United States|last=Oboler.|first=Suzanne|date=2005|publisher=Oxford University Press|others=González, Deena J.|isbn=019518842X|location=Oxford, UK|oclc=62270754}}

Anthony began his career as a session vocalist for freestyle music and underground New York house music acts. After changing his name to avoid confusion with his namesake, Anthony worked as a songwriter and backing vocalist for pop acts Menudo and the Latin Rascals. Unlike the more socially conscious New York salsa musicians of the 1960s and 1970s, or the highly produced "romantic" salsa artists of the 1980s, Anthony gained fame performing a salsa style that borrowed more heavily from the African American and urban genres that he listened to growing up, such as rhythm and blues and house.

His first album was a freestyle music record, "Rebel", which debuted in 1988 on Bluedog Records. That same year he wrote and produced "Boy I've Been Told" for fellow freestyle artist Sa-Fire. Then in 1989, he sang backup vocals for Ann-Marie on the freestyle club hit, "With or Without You" produced by Little Louie Vega and Todd Terry. A year later in 1990, with Little Louie Vega and Todd Terry, Marc wrote a duet with Chrissy I-eece, called "You Should Know By Now". In 1992, still working with Todd Terry, he provided vocals for "Love Change", which is on the flip-side of a 13" vinyl released by Elan and The Powermachine titled "Here's Your Hat", production of Todd Terry. At the same time, he collaborated with music producer Little Louie Vega, who featured the singer on many freestyle club hits "Ride on the Rhythm" and the "When The Night Is Over" album, which featured the freestyle classic "Time." In 1992, Vega and Anthony opened for Latin bandleader Tito Puente at New York's Madison Square Garden. After 1992, he changed his style from freestyle to salsa and other Latin styles.

Anthony was initially reluctant to become a salsa musician; he declined an offer to make an album in this genre when Ralph Mercado, president of RMM Records, asked him. Anthony was in a taxi when he heard Juan Gabriel's hit song, "Hasta Que Te Conocí", which influenced him to change his mind and ask Mercado if he could record it as a salsa tune.[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-05-01-ca-64824-story.html "Marc Anthony's Putting a Real Kick In His Salsa"], Los Angeles Times, May 1, 1996. Inspired by the music of Tito Puente, Héctor Lavoe, Rubén Blades, and Juan Gabriel, Anthony released his Spanish-language debut, Otra Nota, in 1993.{{cite web | url=http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Marc-Anthony-Biography/AC2D2D4FD50CF51B4825689000141599 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303222208/http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Marc-Anthony-Biography/AC2D2D4FD50CF51B4825689000141599 | archive-date=March 3, 2016 | title=Marc Anthony Biography }} The album also included a cover of Bread's "Make It with You". Subsequent tours throughout the Americas, including an opening slot for Blades, established Anthony as one of the newest stars in salsa.

By the early 1990s, Anthony had sold more salsa records than any other performer on the planet, solidifying his position among the most important new salsa artists to emerge in the 1990s.

In 1994, he was featured on La India's album Dicen Que Soy, on the song "Vivir Lo Nuestro".

His 1995 follow-up, Todo a su tiempo, won Anthony a Billboard Award for Hot Tropical Artist of the Year. The album was also nominated for a Grammy with songs like "Te Conozco Bien", "Hasta Ayer", "Nadie Como Ella", "Se Me Sigue Olvidando", "Te Amare", and "Llegaste A Mi". The album has sold more than 800,000 copies and has become established as a gold record in both the United States and in Puerto Rico.

Anthony's next Spanish language album, Contra La Corriente, was followed by the television special Marc Anthony: The Concert from Madison Square Garden, broadcast on HBO on Valentine's Day in 2000. The special was nominated for the Music Special of the Year by TV Guide. The album's song "Y Hubo Alguien" became Anthony's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks and the first by a salsa musician.{{Cite magazine|last=Lannert|first=John|title=RMM's Anthony Builds Base for Int'l Career|date=December 20, 1997|magazine=Billboard}} The album became the first salsa album to enter the English language Billboard 200 chart.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}} After an ongoing battle with RMM, he severed ties with Ralph Mercado and left the label in 1999.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}}

Otra Nota, Todo a Su Tiempo, and Contra La Corriente established him as the top-selling singer in the history of the genre, able to sell out Madison Square Garden and prestigious venues internationally.

Anthony subsequently recorded the duet "No Me Ames" with Jennifer Lopez on her album On the 6, giving her an assist in her Spanish language crossover attempt. He also recorded a duet "I Want to Spend My Lifetime Loving You" with Tina Arena, written by James Horner for the latter's soundtrack for the 1998 swashbuckling movie The Mask of Zorro.

In 1999, riding the crossover wave of Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias in the Anglophone market, Anthony, working with producers Walter Afanasieff, Cory Rooney, Dan Shea, and Rodney Jerkins, released an English-language, self-titled album with the US Top 5 single "I Need to Know", and the Spanish version, "Dímelo". His song "You Sang To Me" was featured in Runaway Bride. A dance version was remixed by Dutch producer Rene Van Verseveld. The album debuted at number eight on the Billboard album chart, and six weeks later went platinum; it eventually was certified triple platinum. The song "I Need To Know" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
