Ricky Martin

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Ricky Martin's first taste of stardom came in grade school when he acted in school plays and sang in the choir. As a young boy Ricky appeared in numerous television commercials and immersed himself in singing lessons. At the age of 12, Ricky landed a spot with the Latin boy group of the '80s, Menudo. For five years, Ricky maintained a gruelling regime of recording work and tours.
