Enrique was born in Madrid, but after his parents divorced in 1979, he went to live with Julio in Miami, partly to learn English and partly for security reasons (his grandfather had been kidnapped in Spain). "I say stuff in my music that I would never dare say face to face, I'd be too embarrassed." Six years ago, Enrique Iglesias was still the shy, neglected child of a famous globe-trotting pop star, the youngest son of Julio and Madrid socialite Isabel Preysler. "I'm more romantic in my music than in real life," says Iglesias, 24.

His third album, "Cosas del Amor" ("Things of Love"), was released in November. Since its 1995 release, Iglesias's eponymous debut album has sold 6 million copies, as did its follow-up, "Vivir" ("To Live").

They've made him the world's biggest-selling Latin artist over the past three years. And Enrique's songs, most of which he writes himself, have more of a contemporary pop feel.

Enrique Iglesias, who performs tonight at the Patriot Center, shares his father's gift for delivering romantic Latin ballads convincingly and dramatically. People en Espanol, the Spanish-language People magazine, named him "El Hombre Mas SEXY del Mundo 1998." It's not just Enrique Iglesias's smoldering good looks that make millions of women swoon over "the sexiest man in the world." Nor is it merely his lineage as the son of internationally renowned Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias, whom he now outsells in record stores and concert venues.
