Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro, better known as Alejandro Sanz (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈxandɾo ˈsanθ] ; born December 18, 1968), is a Spanish musician, singer and composer. Sanz has won 17 Latin Grammy Awards and three Grammy Awards. He has received the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year three times, more than any other artist. The singer is notable for his flamenco- influenced ballads, and has also experimented with several other genres including pop, rock, funk, R&B and jazz.

As a teenager, Sanz performed in various venues in his hometown. He became acquainted with Miguel Ángel Arenas, a music industry executive who had signed several popular Spanish groups such as Mecano. Arenas helped Sanz find work, eventually leading to a record deal with the Spanish label Hispavox. In 1989 Sanz released his debut album, Los Chulos Son Pa’ Cuidarlos under the name of Alejandro Magno (Spanish for “Alexander the Great”). The record, which fused techno and flamenco, was met with critical and commercial indifference, and today Sanz views the record to be “insignificant”. However, the album is now considered to be a collector’s item. In an attempt to promote Los Chulos Son Pa’ Cuidarlos, he performed at strip clubs, playing short sets between acts. This proved to be unsuccessful and Sanz took a break from music, choosing to study business administration. He also took a job at a recording studio in which he wrote material for other artists. He persuaded Arenas to send demos of his songs to record companies, which led to being signed by Warner Music Latina. At this time, he began performing under his current name.

He married his second wife, Raquel Perera, in May of 2012. He has two sons, Alexander and Dylan, and a daughter, Manuela.

Sanz was born in Madrid, Spain, on December 18, 1968, the youngest son of María Pizarro and Jesús Sánchez. He grew up in the neighborhood of Moratalaz in eastern Madrid. Sanz recalled that “Back then, kids grew up on the street…I was a bit like the group troubadour; the one who played the guitar and sang. That kept me out of a lot of trouble.” Sanz’s father, a door-to-door book salesman, played guitar professionally, which inspired seven-year-old Sanz to learn to play the instrument. He pursued the instrument with an intensity that eventually frustrated his mother, who broke his guitar one morning after his playing kept the family from sleeping.

That was the spirit of the music in its pure form, though [it is ironic] that the more people who are playing, the more simple it is.” With the MTV Unplugged, he garnered three Latin Grammy Awards (Album of the Year, Recording of the Year and Song of the Year for “Y Sólo Se Me Ocurre Amarte”).
