Alejandro Sanz, born Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro on December 18 1968 in Madrid, Spain, is a Spanish pop/ballad musician. The second son of MarÃa Pizarro Medina from Alcalá de los Gazules, and Jesús Sánchez Madero from Algeciras, Sanz began playing guitar at the age of seven and composing his first songs three years later. After moving to Moratalaz from the neighborhood of Pueblo Nuevo at age 16, he began attending management classes. At the same time, he recorded his first album.
Trivia
He has the bull head from Pablo Picasso's Guernica tattooed on his left arm.
He has won 14 Grammy Awards (1 Regular Grammy Award and 13 Latin Grammy Awards).
Early on in his career, Sanz pronounced the Castilian "th" sound. Later on in his career, the th disappeared and was replaced by an s sound, presumably to sound more Latin American.
He also appeared in the film clip for The Corrs' English translation of their duet, Una Noche (One Night) as Andrea's love interest. The video is included in The Corrs' DVD version of "Best Of The Corrs".
