    LUIS FONSI

    I'm sorry that I haven't been online on this forum for a long time but I was very busy. Wink

    I decided to open a few topics in the sections where I'm a mod of. Razz

    As D'Nash likes Luis Fonsi, I thought it would be nice to let the fans get to know the artists they like. Very Happy And I'm a huuuuge Luis Fonsi fan myself so... What a Face

    Here's some info I've found at Wikipedia. Wink

    Luis Alfonso Rodríguez López-Cepero, more commonly known as Luis Fonsi, was born April 15, 1978 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He is a Puerto Rican singer, composer and soap opera actor.

    Fonsi and his family moved to Orlando, Florida, during Fonsi's early childhood. around the time he was ten years old, Fonsi began to dream about becoming a member of Menudo, arguably Latin America's most famous boy band in history. While not being able to pursue that dream, he did, however, participate in many local boy bands, including one, Big Guys, where he met, and befriended, future *NSYNC member Joey Fatone.

    In April of that year, Fonsi had a brief return to the singing stage, when former Menudo member Ray Reyes invited him and Lopez to a concert which was held at San Juan's Roberto Clemente coliseum. The press widely covered what El Vocero titled as Fonsi's moment as a Menudo, when he took the stage and joined the members of El Reencuentro to sing some of their old hits.

    Instead of choosing to keep a pattern of trying to find stardom in the United States with a boy band, Fonsi chose to better prepare himself for a future, stable career inside show business. He went to Florida State University to study vocal techniques. Meanwhile, he began to record demo tapes in Miami. While he was at FSU, he was overheard singing by a university music department president, who offered him a contract with a large recording company.

    In 1998, Fonsi recorded his first CD, Comenzaré (I Will Begin). Comenzaré became an instant hit in Puerto Rico and across Latin America, with Fonsi conquering such markets as Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, and Venezuela. His 2000 follow-up, Eterno, was equally successful. By then, Fonsi's fame had reached Europe, as he became a celebrity in Spain as well.

    During 2001, a re-mix of Comenzaré and Eterno was launched, while Fonsi worked on his next album, 2002's Amor Secreto. At about the same time, some media outlets began to comment about an alleged, adulterous romance between him and an also very famous married Puerto Rican singer, who had just happened to separate from her husband and buy a home near Fonsi's Orlando property. The scandal did not last too long, however, and Fonsi soon released an album in English, Fight the Feeling, also released in 2002.

    Fight the Feeling did not sell well among Americans. It is expected, however, that Fonsi will sometime in the future make a second attempt at a crossover: because of the fact he has lived most of his life in Orlando, he is fluent in English as well as in Spanish.

    His fifth CD, Abrazar la Vida, sold very well, which opened new markets in Europe. "Quien te Dijo Eso?" reached high positions on music charts. His sixth CD, Paso a Paso, could be said to be the disc that launched him into international markets. "Nada es Para Siempre" reached #1 on the music chart, and was a nominee for the Latin Grammy Awards. Fonsi was one of several artists selected to perform in "KQ Live Concert" on September 27, 2008, organized by KQ 105 FM, the event included several renowned artists from Puerto Rico and other Latin American locations.

    Here some about his personal life. You should really read this!

    By 2003, Fonsi began to fall in love with actress Adamari Lopez, who, as an Univision artist and fellow Puerto Rican, constantly found herself near Fonsi. That same year, Fonsi released the song "Abrazar la Vida" ("Holding on to Life"), off the eponymous album. The song, perhaps ironically and because of a particular circumstance, would later become one of Lopez's favorite songs. Fonsi also recorded "Amazing" in 2003, a duet with Emma Bunton for her 2004 album Free Me.

    Fonsi took off 2004, a year when rumors were reported by magazines, television news shows, and newspapers that he and Lopez had committed to marry each other. During 2005, Fonsi was in the middle of an international tour that would have had him away from home for many months; the tour was abruptly cancelled when Lopez was diagnosed with cancer. Fonsi promised her to stay by her side, and has traveled with her back and forth between Mexico, Miami, and Puerto Rico for various treatment and work-related trips.

    On June 3, 2006, Fonsi and Adamari Lopez were married in a religious ceremony in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico attended by many celebrities including Joey Fatone, Charytin, Ednita Nazario, and Carlos Ponce, as well as his brother — aspiring Spanish-language singer Jean Rodriguez, who goes simply by Jean as his professional name.
