With his dedicated fans, Julio Iglesias has
become a one man worldwide musical phenomenon – a multinational
force having earned more than 1,500 gold and platinum awards and
selling more than 220 million albums in numerous languages to music
lovers on every continent on earth.
  More than any other contemporary musical figure, the
tirelessly touring Julio Iglesias has established himself as a
true citizen of the world and a most highly-treasured one. Always
forward-looking, Iglesias has long been a pioneer in expanding his
following by touring in a truly global fashion – hitting not just
the major markets, but in developing countries as well. As a result of
this hard work, at any given moment, somewhere in the world, a Julio
Iglesias song is being played. And enjoyed.
"I am still hungry as an artist, still moved by
the music and excited about all of the new songs yet to be sung,"
Iglesias explains. "Many records I have sold before, I still want
to sell records – and thanks to all the amazing fans who support
me, I still am able to find an audience. Even now, if I am away from
my fans for a few days, I find that I cannot wait to get back on-stage
and perform for them again."

Growing up, Iglesias had plans to perform in a
different arena – as a soccer player. An aspiring athlete, the
young Spaniard was goalkeeper for the world famous Real Madrid team
when a tragic car accident left him near death and paralyzed at
nineteen. For three years he underwent the difficult process of
recuperation. Fortunately, a physician's assistant in the hospital
gave Iglesias a guitar to help lift his spirits. He started to write
songs, and after recovering, he studied law before dedicating himself
to music full-time.
During the Seventies, Julio Iglesias
established himself as an international superstar. Before he even
arrived on the American music scene with 1984's multi-platinum
"1100 Bel
Aire Place" album, Iglesias had already earned a
place in the Guinness Book of World Records for selling more albums in
more different languages than any other artist in history. Since then,
he's worked tirelessly as he has continued to both set records and
test himself as an artist.
"In a sense, those first records made
everything else since then possible. In the Seventies, I was more of a
songwriter. Then, I became first an interpreter and a better singer
who knew more about music. But as much as I loved singing a song like
'To All The Girls I've Loved Before,' those early songs are more naïve,
more from my heart. Some of those early songs went straight to the
people. Sometimes you try to do something more sophisticated and in
the end not even you understand what you're talking about."
