Early Life and Career Beginnings

Born as Marco Antonio Muñiz on September 16, 1968, in New York City, he is better known by his stage name, Marc Anthony. His mother, Guillermina, was a housewife, and his father, Felipe, worked as a cafeteria employee at a hospital while also being a musician. Both parents hailed from Puerto Rico, and Anthony was raised in East Harlem under the Roman Catholic faith as the youngest of eight siblings.

Marc’s musical journey began with his father, who instructed him in both Spanish and English singing. He received his name in honor of Mexican singer Marco Antonio Muñiz. Initially, he started his music career as a session vocalist for freestyle and underground house music artists, working as a songwriter and backing vocalist for pop groups like Menudo and the Latin Rascals. This was when he adopted the name Marc Anthony to distinguish himself from his namesake. He gained recognition by showcasing a style of salsa influenced by the African American and urban genres that shaped his youth.

Music Career

His debut album, a freestyle music project titled “Rebel,” was released in 1988 under Bluedog Records. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, he contributed to various projects. He produced and wrote the song “Boy I’ve Been Told” for Sa-Fire and co-wrote a duet with Chrissy I-eece titled “You Should Know By Now” alongside Little Louie Vega and Todd Terry. Anthony was featured in several popular freestyle club tracks, such as “Ride On The Rhythm” and “Time.”

He released “Contra La Coriente” in 1997, featuring the song “Y Huubo Alguien,” which marked his first #1 on the “Billboard” Hot Latin Tracks and was the first-ever chart-topping song by a salsa musician. This album also made history by being the first salsa album to enter the “Billboard” 200 chart. In 1999, he departed from RMM and signed with Sony Records.
