This is the album that is the most like me," says Enrique Iglesias. "I know it's a gamble but I have faith. If you want to be a success in anything, you have to take that big step."
Born May 8, 1975, in Madrid, Spain, Enrique is the third child of international superstar singer Julio Iglesias and Philippines-born ex-model Isabel Preysler. His parents, however, divorced when he was three years old. At age 8, his mother sent him to live with his father in Miami.
Escape is also the album Iglesias hopes will finally allow him to jettison stereotypes from the "Latin lover" tag ("I hate it; it's tacky and embarrassing") to "crossover" success ("I crossed over when I was 8 years old and came to America").ther than spending summers in Spain with his mother, he appeared to be a typical jet-skiing, windsurfing Miami teen. "I wasn't raised in show business," he says. "I knew what it felt like to be a teenager. I knew what it felt like to not get a date for my junior prom."
