Inspired by his father, who was a guitar salesman, he learned to play the guitar at age seven. His music was heavily influenced by the genre of flamenco music.
He has won more than a dozen Latin Grammy Awards.
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.
Born in Madrid to parents from Andalusia, Sanz began playing guitar at age seven, taking influence from his family’s flamenco roots. Sanz released his debut album at age nineteen, although he did not gain commercial success in Spain until his second release, Viviendo Deprisa. His next two records, Si Tú Me Miras (1993) and 3 (1995) also fared well commercially, but it was his 1997 breakthrough album Más that garnered international success. El Alma al Aire followed in 2000, selling more than a million copies in its first week. In 2002, he became the first Spanish artist to record an MTV Unplugged album.
Sanz spent two years in Milan, Italy to work on a follow-up for 3. For the album, he wished to create a “true fusion” of many different sounds, and began studying the saxophone and piano in addition to guitar. In 1997, Sanz released his fifth studio album, Más, a record containing ballads strongly influenced by flamenco, pop, and tropical rhythms. Driven by the singles “Corazón Partío”, “Y, ¿Si Fuera Ella?”, “Amiga Mía”, “Aquello Que Me Diste”, and “Siempre Es de Noche”, Más sold more than two million copies in Spain and was certified 22× Platinum in the country, making it the best-selling album in Spanish history. The album remained on the Billboard Latin Albums chart for 74 weeks, and one year after the record’s release, Sanz was granted an Ondas Award for Best Song for “Corazón Partío”. According to David Cazares of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the album “made Sanz an international star on the strength of the pop-salsa hit ‘Corazón Partío’, a song on the lips of fans from Spain to Cuba and the United States.” Following the success of the album, Sanz began touring in United States for the first time.
