My favourite musician

My favourite musician is Enrique Jose Martin Morales known as Ricky Martin. He is singer, songwriter an actor of Puerto Rico. He began his musical career in the mid 80`s, as lead singer of a group called, Menudo child.

Ricky Martin possesses a tenor vocal range. Martin cites a variety of the Latin music genres as influences, including salsa, merengue, and bolero,that's why he sings in Spanish and English . He also is inspired by artists such as the Fania All-Stars, Celia Cruz, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, and Gilberto Santa Rosa, which his mother played for him as a child. Martin credits these musicians with helping him appreciate the richness of island's culture.

My favorite song is "Lo mejor de mi vida eres tú" and "Pégate", but I do not admire ricky martin only for his music. What I like is his attitude to face life, his joy and his acts of social support.

An activist for many causes, he founded the Ricky Martin Foundation in 2000 as a child advocacy organization. The group runs the People for Children project, which fights child exploitation. In 2006, Martin spoke in support of a United Nations effort to improve the rights of children worldwide in front of the U.S. House International Relations Committee. Martin, through his foundati
on, also supports efforts by other charitable organizations. For his philanthropic work, Martin has received numerous awards, including the 2005 International Humanitarian Award from the International Center for Missing and Exploited Child

Martin is the father to two twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, born in 2008 to a surrogate.  Ricky Martin came out in 2010 on his website, He wrote, "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am." Martin explained that his decision to go public with his sexuality was inspired in part by his sons. He is currently dating Carlos Gonzélez Abella.

Maybe I can tell you many things about my favorite singer, but this is the essential...
