Marc Anthony was born on September 16, 1968, in New York. Marc Anthony, whose parents are Puerto Rican, started his music career in the field of pop music.
Marc Anthony was born in New York to Puerto Rican couple Felipe Muñiz and Guillermina. He started his career as a vocalist for pop-style songs and performing dance shows.
Changing his name to Marc Anthony to avoid name confusion with his namesake, Anthony initially worked as a songwriter and backing vocals for many singers, including Menudo and the Latin Rascals.
His first work on the market was in 1988 with the free-style music Rebel. This piece was written entirely by Marc Anthony and shows how good Marc Anthony is at freestyle music. That same year, Marc Anthony, who wrote "Boy I've Been Told" for Freestyle artist Sa-Fire, sang vocals for Ann-Marie in 1989. A year later in 1990, while continuing to work with Little Louie Vega and Todd Terry, Anthony wrote the song "You Should Know By Now" for Freestyle artist Chrissy I-Eece and sang a duet to the song. In 1991, he sang the backing vocals for another freestyle singer, Edmond's song "Come Back To Me". Marc Anthony, who caught his fast break with Little Louie Vega's album "Ride On The Rhythm" released in 1991, left his freestyle music style and returned to salsa and Spanish music after 1992.
Inspired by Puente, Ruben Blades, and Juan Gabriel, Anthony released the Spanish album Otra Nota in 1993 with his salsamonga hit "Hasta Que Te Conoci", which he had a big break with, and released La India's "Dicen" in 1994. He sang a duet to the song "Vivir Lo Nuestro" on the album "Que Soy".
With his 1995 album "Todo A Su Tiempo", he was nominated for Grammy awards with songs such as "Te Conozco Bien", "Hasta Ayer", Nadie Como Ella", "Se Me Sigue Olvidando" "Te Amare" and "Llegaste A Mi". He received the best Latin tropical performance award for his album "Conta La Corriente" in 1999. Some of the outstanding songs of the album are "Y Hubo Alguien", "Contra La Corriente", "No Me Conoces", "Me Voy A Regalar" and "No Sabes". Como Duele".
In 1999, inspired by the success of Jennifer López and Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony released his eponymous album "Marc Anthony". "When I Dream At Night", "My Baby You", "Love Is All" and the soundtrack of the movie Runaway Bride " You Sang To Me".
Released his album "Libre" in 2001, Marc Anthony brought himself one step closer to his fans with the songs "Celos", "Barco A La Deriva", "Este Loco Que Te Mira" and "Viviendo" in the album. His 2002 self-titled album "Marc Anthony", which included hits such as "I've Got You", "I Need You", "Tragedy" and "She Mends Me", was almost equally popular and remixed. With the album "Mended", he has engraved his name in the hearts of his fans and announced to the whole world. In 2002, he sang vocals for the song "The Mexican" in Thalía's legendary album Thalia 2002.
Marc Anthony, who married Dayanara Torres, who was selected as the Miss Universe in the 1993 beauty pageant, had children Christian (2001) and Ryan (2003). Marc Anthony, who married Jennifer López on April 5, 2004, after his divorce from Dayanara Torres, proved himself once again with the album "Amar Sin Mentiras", released the same month and produced by Estefano. In May of the same year, he released a salsa album called "Valio La Pena" by adding Lamento Boricano, the work of Rafael Fernandez, to the songs in his album "Amar Sin Mentiras" (excluding the songs of Tan Solo Palabras, Nada Personal and Amar Sin Mentiras). In both albums, the songs "Ahora Quien", "Escapemonos", "Amigo" and "Valió La Pena" had a very rapid debut. In 2011, he presented his Spanish ballad album "Iconos" to his fans. Again in 2011, he had a big break with the song "Rain Over Me", which he released with Pitbull. He released his first original Spanish album "3.0" in 2013 and received many awards with his debut song "Vivir Mi Vida" in the same year. In 2014, "3.0" sold more than 4 million copies and received the "4X Platinum Record" award.
He made his second marriage to the famous singer Jennifer Lopez in 2004 and this marriage lasted until 2014. Anthony made his third marriage to famous model Shannon De Lima Muniz. The couple divorced in 2017. Anthony made his fourth marriage to model Nadia Ferreira in 2023.
