After moving to Barra Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Rosa spent time with local artists, adding to his musical education. He would go on to release two commercially successful Portuguese-language solo albums in quick succession in the late 1980s.
Rosa originally garnered fame as a member of boy band Menudo in the 1980s, singing lead on the band’s biggest stateside hit, “Hold Me” and featuring prominently in the accompanying music video. After leaving the band he moved to Brazil where he released two albums, achieving mainstream success. Following a brief subsequent stint in California, he returned to New York and joined the band Maggie’s Dream, which split after only one album, allowing him to resume his solo career. The singer and composer has released numerous albums, and has composed multiple songs for Ednita Nazario, Julio Iglesias and former Menudo band-mate, Ricky Martin. He has also been featured on VH1’s Behind the Music.
However, he would soon move back to his birth state of New York, where he formed the band Maggie’s Dream, an alternative funk rock/metal band who released a self-titled album in 1990 and toured with Fishbone, the Black Crowes and Faith No More. A planned follow-up album, Elysium was recorded in 1992 but never officially released.
Between 1998 and 1999, Rosa wrote and recorded Ricky Martin’s second eponymous album and the first in English, which includes the popular single “Livin’ la Vida Loca”. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard album charts, selling 22 million copies worldwide. For Martin’s follow-up album, Sound Loaded, Rosa produced four tracks, including the hit single “She Bangs”. The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 42nd Grammy Awards. It won the American Music Award for Favorite Latin Artist and was nominated for the Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. It was also nominated for the Juno Award for International Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2000. The album has sold over 22 million copies, worldwide.
An English-language version of Frío, entitled Songbirds and Roosters was released in 1998. As he toured with his songs from Vagabundo, Rosa wrote and recorded his fellow former Menudo bandmate, Ricky Martin’s chart-topping album Vuelve, again under the pseudonym Ian Blake, which resulted in five hit singles including “The Cup of Life” (as well as its Spanish version “La Copa de la Vida”). Rosa formed Phantom Vox Corporation, a multimedia production company that joined Dräco Cornelius Music with other writers under Phantom Vox Publishing, the company’s subdivision for licensing of original compositions. Phantom Vox Studios, Rosa’s own multimedia recording studio and another subdivision of the company, worked as Music Supervisor for Livin’ the Life, an independent movie that won the Best Film Award in the 1999 New York Latin Film Fest. Phantom Vox filmed and edited the video for “Commitment #4,” a track Rosa composed and recorded in dedication to the removal of the United States Navy in the Puerto Rican island municipality of Vieques, for bombing training in many parts of the island.
