Enrique Iglesias the brand, was born.
Songs/ Albums/ Career Success
Enrique knew that his father was a very successful Spanish musician, and this would have made it easy for him to climb through the career ladder, just by having his surname. This was what Enrique ensured not to do. He was determined to succeed on his own without the influence of the ‘Iglesius’ factor, that is why his first cassette was recorded under the name Enrique Martinez. He secretly borrowed recording money from his nanny, whom he really adored. She had literally raised him considering that his father was always on world tours due to his career.

With all these success stories, Enrique has maintained a separate identity from his father’s success. He struggled to be where he is.
