Chayanne Career

Chayanne Music

In the late 1970s, Chayanne auditioned for Menudo, but the producers told him that he was too inexperienced to be in the group. He joined another group, Los Chicos, and they produced several hit recordings, including “Puerto Rico Son Los Chicos” and “Ave Maria”.

After Los Chicos separated in 1984, Chayanne started his profession as a solo performer. He signed with RCA Víctor and released his debut album, Chayanne es mi Nombre, that year. His second album with RCA Víctor, Sangre Latina was released in 1986.

After three years with RCA Víctor, Chayanne switched labels to Sony Music and broke out with his first self-titled album in 1987. This album featured a blend of ballads and dance tracks, a formula for which he would be honored.

It featured two hit songs, the ballad “Peligro de Amor” written by Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas, and a song that would cement him as an overall performer, the upbeat dance track “Fiesta en América” written by Honorio Herrero.

On November 1, 1988, he released his second self-titled album, Chayanne. This album featured several hit singles, including Honorio Herrero’s “Tu Pirata Soy Yo”, José María Cano’s “Fuiste un Trozo de Hielo en la Escarcha”, and “Este Ritmo Se Baila Así”, written by Pierre-Edouard Decimus, Jacob Desvarieux, both members of French Caribbean band Kassav’, and Roberto Livi.

At the same time, Chayanne became a spokesperson for Pepsi, with the airing of the first Spanish-speaking advertising spot broadcast on national television coast to coast during the 1989 Grammy Awards telecast.

On August 7, 1990, Chayanne released the album Tiempo de Vals, featuring some of his best-selling singles, such as the title track, composed by José María Cano, “Completamente Enamorados”, composed by Piero Cassano, Adelio Cogliati, and Eros Ramazzotti, and “Daría Cualquier Cosa”, composed by Luis Gómez Escolar and Julio Seijas.

Chayanne followed it with the album whose title track would finally become his signature song, Provócame (1992). That album also featured the hit El Centro de mi Corazón (#1 U.S. Hot Latin, 1992), and was nominated for Pop Song of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards of 1993, while he was listed for Male Pop Artist. Two years later, he released the album Influencias (1994), which was a tribute to some of his musical influences. In 1996, he released Volver a Nacer.

In 1998, Chayanne received his second Grammy nomination with the album Atado a Tu Amor, which featured his first number-one hit since 1992, “Dejaria Todo” as well as a long-lasting hit in the title track.

On March 19, 2002, Chayanne released Grandes Exitos, a greatest hits album with a few new tracks.

The next year, he released Sincero which featured two number-one songs, “Un Siglo Sin Ti” and “Cuidarte el Alma”.

In 2005, Chayanne did a tour together with Mexican Alejandro Fernández and Marc Anthony. That same year, he released two albums. First, a second greatest hits album, Desde Siempre with the new song “Contra Vientos y Mareas”, followed by Cautivo with hits such as “No Se Por Que”, “Te Echo de Menos”” and “No Te Preocupes Por Mí”.

Chayanne’s 13th album Mi Tiempo was released on April 10, 2007. The album debuted at number two on the Top Latin Album chart selling 17,000 copies in its first week of release. The first single off the album, “Si Nos Quedara Poco Tiempo”, reached number one on the Hot Latin Tracks chart.

Following the album’s release, Chayanne launched an international tour to promote Mi Tiempo. Among the places visited early in the tour were Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and the United States. On August 24, 2008, he began a series of presentations in Spain.

When interviewed Chayanne noted that the concert would be fluid “as a musical”, and “more Latin” than his previous presentations, being composed of “more pop, Brazilian, Caribbean and reggae rhythms” which he would use to “dance constantly”.
