Iglesias dropped out of college and went to Toronto to record his first album.

MUSIC CAREER

Enrique’s first musical album was released in the year 1995 and it was a rare success for him in the sense that it was not common for an album with songs in a language other than English to be a hit! Songs like Si Tu Te Vas, No Llores Por Mi, Por Amarte, Trapecista- topped the Billboard’s Latin charts. The album also caused Iglesias to actually win a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance.

By 1999, Enrique had proved his musical ability by giving successful albums one after the other. From Spanish songs to English ones, his transition was very easy and smooth. During 1999-2001, Latin songs were really popular. During this phase, he released the more famous songs like Bailamos, Rhythm Divine, and a cover of the song Sad Eyes by Bruce Springsteen. In 2000, Enrique had a really good experience while performing at the Super Bowl along with other brilliant artists like Christina Aguilera, Toni Braxton and Phil Collins. In 2001, the amazing album Escape was released. This album had really good songs like Hero, Escape, and Don’t Turn Off The Lights.

The following year, Iglesias released his fourth Spanish set of songs in an album titled Quizas. This album was very close of his heart and he gave a personal touch to the songs in the album as they talk about his strained relationship with his father. The album was a hit! The album won his a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. It looks like Enrique’s career was just shining and there was no looking back!
