Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri was born in 1970 in Puerto Rico to an exceptionally talented family. His father, Luisito Rey was a Spanish singer and his mother, Mercella Basteri an Italian actress. Sadly, when Luis was just a teen his mother disappeared. Luis's father took over the rearing of he and his two younger brothers, quickly establishing himself as the manager of his oldest son. Elvis Presley had always been an icon the Basteri home, but after Luis's mother disappeared his father strongly encouraged Luis to study every film, recording and performance of the performer.
Early in Luis Miguel's life the family moved to Mexico. Luis identifies himself as Mexican with Italian and Spanish origin, proudly singing the folk songs of those cultures. At the tender age of 11 Luis released his first album entitled Un Sol. At age 15 he won second place in the San Remo Music Festival. He toured many Latin American countries, including Chile, Argentina and Venezuela.
In 1990 Luis made a successful transition from child performer to adult singer with his third album 20 Anos. He toured and sung for several sold out shows all over Mexico, Latin America and the world. This third album sold 60,000 copies in just the first week, resulting in two singles hitting number one on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks in 1990.
In 1993 Luis Miguel won a Grammy Award for his fifth album, Aries. The accomplishment earned him attention from many North American musicians such as Frank Sinatra, who invited Luis to join him on a duets album. In 1996 he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and immediately after that recorded Suena; which became the main theme for Disney's the Hunchback of Notre Dame. During his career, Luis has recorded 32 albums and ten music videos. Of those albums, three have been Diamond Discs, 304 Platinum Discs, 34 Gold Discs and 16 singles have achieved number once status on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks.
Luis Miguel has had an illustrious career spanning 25 years and almost all music genres including pop, bolero, mariachi and romantic ballads. He is considered among the top male singers in the world, and the main star from Latin America. Luis Miguel's successful transition from child star to a brilliant international singer is part of his success, which was largely due to his wide vocal range and charismatic performance abilities. All those hours studying Elvis Presley clearly made Luis Miguel what he is today. That begs the question: Is Luis Miguel the Latin Elvis?
