"I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned." — Enrique Iglesias
- Born Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler May 8, 1975 in Madrid, Spain.

He became one of the top Latin crossover artists in the U.S. with the release of the 1999 single "Bailamos," which made it into the blockbuster action flick Wild Wild West starring GRAMMY winner Will Smith. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 and sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.

Working in secret with his father's publicist, Fernán Martínez, he recorded a demo with one Spanish song and two English songs as an unknown Guatemalan singer named Enrique Martínez, which landed him a record deal.
