MARCO Antonio Muniz name was given by his musician-father after a famous Mexican singer of the same name. He changed his name to Marc Anthony to avoid being confused with the legendary singer. The family kitchen table was Marc’s first stage. Today at 33, Marc Anthony has sold more records than any other salsa artist. Salsa is a popular form of Latin-American dance music, characterised by Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Cuban big-band dance melodies, and elements of jazz and rock.

His second album, Todo a Su Tiempo (1995), sold over 8,00,000 copies in the USA and Puerto Rico. I Need To Know, from his fourth album Marc Anthony, sold over two million copies in the USA. Marc success is a story of hard work and determination. Marc grew up listening rock, rhythm and blues. He started singing in dance clubs at New York. He recorded one song in 1993. His manager then sent him to perform at a Latin music convention called Radio yMusica. He borrowed cloths to perform that, as he did not have enough money to buy new clothes. The performance was in front of many disc jockeys. Nervous as he was, he left the stage immediately after he finished singing. Several of the disc jockeys were dialling their cell phones. "Find this kid’s CD," he heard one of them say. "I threw it out this morning — it’s in the trash. Find it and play it!" Marc has won Billboard and Grammy awards for his songs. In 1994 he won Billboard’s "Best new artist of the year", in 1995 he won Billboard’s "Song of the year" for his song "Te Conozco Bien", in 1999 he won Grammy’s Best Tropical Latin Performance for "Contra La Corriente".
