Spaniard Alejandro Sanz (born Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro) is the second son of María Pizarro Medina from Alcalá de los Gazules and Jesús Sánchez Madero from Algeciras. Even when he began playing guitar at the age of seven and composing his first songs three years later, the young musician started attending management classes after moving from the neighborhood of Pueblo Nuevo to Moratalza. At the age of 16, Alejandro Sanz recorded Los Chulos Son Pa' Cuidarlos. However, his official debut, called Viviendo Deprisa, came in 1991 after signing up with Warner Music. Si Tu Me Miras followed in 1993, featuring contributions from Nacho Maño, Chris Cameron, and Paco de Lucia. With 3, recorded in Venice, Italy, and produced by Miguel Angel Arenas and Emanuele Ruffinengo, 1997's Mas, and 2000's El Alma Al Aire, the Spanish singer/songwriter achieved international top-selling status. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
