Enrique Iglesias, de son nom complet Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète de pop espagnol, né le 8 mai 1975 à Madrid.
Il débute sa carrière au Mexique sous un label indépendant, et est ensuite devenu un des artistes les plus célèbres d'Amérique latine. Il obtient ensuite un fort succès sur le marché de la musique latine aux États-Unis, puisqu'il a vendu plus d'albums qu'aucun autre artiste sur une période de temps identique^{[réf. nécessaire]}. À la fin des années 1990, il quitte sa maison de disques pour signer avec Universal Music un important contrat d'un montant inédit de 48 millions de dollars^{[réf. nécessaire]}. Celui-ci comprend l'enregistrement de plusieurs albums à destination d'un public anglophone, via le label Interscope, et d'albums en espagnol à destination du marché hispanophone, via Universal Music Latino.
Enrique Iglesias a, à ce jour, vendu plus de 60 millions d'albums à travers le monde, classé deux titres n°1 au Billboard Hot 100, mais, surtout, détient le record de huit titres placés n°1 au classement singles en langue espagnole, le Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks.

Biographie[modifier]

Jeunesse[modifier]

Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler est né le 8 mai 1975 à Madrid, en Espagne. Il est le troisième enfant du chanteur Julio Iglesias. Il abandonne ses études pour se concentrer sur sa carrière musicale. Ne désirant pas que son père soit au courant de ses projets dans la chanson, il se présente en tant que Enrique Martinez auprès des maisons de disques, utilisant son prénom et le nom de son agent. Il ne voulait pas non plus se servir de son patronyme célèbre pour dynamiser sa carrière. Il finit par être signé par le label indépendant Fonovisa. Il part alors pour six mois à Toronto au Canada pour enregistrer son premier album.

Premier album[modifier]

Le 12 juillet 1995, Enrique Iglesias sort son premier album intitulé Enrique Iglesias, composé de diverses ballades rock, et sur lequel on retrouve son premier grand tube, Si Tú Te Vas. Ce disque se vend alors à un demi-million d'exemplaires la première semaine, un fait plutôt rare pour un album qui n'est pas enregistré en anglais.
Sa chanson Por Amarte est apparue dans la bande originale de la telenovela Marisol, avec quelques couplets remaniés. Des éditions italiennes et portugaises de l'album verront le jour avec certains autres titres également réinterprétés dans la langue locale.
Cinq singles sont extraits de cet album, Si Tú Te Vas, Experiencia Religiosa, Por Amarte, No Llores Por Mí et Trapecista qui furent tous n°1 du classement de musique latine. Grâce à cet album, Enrique Iglesias remporte un Grammy Award dans la catégorie Best Latin Pop Performance.

1997-1999 : Vivir et Cosas del Amor[modifier]

En 1997, la popularité d'Enrique Iglesias continue de croître avec la sortie l'album Vivir (Vivre).
Cet été-là, il participe aux côtés d'Elton John, Bruce Springsteen et Billy Joel à une tournée des stades à guichets fermés et ce, à travers six pays. Débutant à Odessa au Texas, la tournée va ensuite pour trois soirées consécutives à Mexico à la Plaza de Toros, puis deux soirs consécutifs au Monterrey's Auditorio Coca Cola, deux autres au Estadio River Plate en Argentine, devant 130 000 personnes, avant de finir par 19 stades américains. Cette tournée est considérée à l'époque comme l'une des plus grandes tournées pour un chanteur non-anglophone.^{[réf. nécessaire]}
Trois singles sont commercialisés, Enamorado Por Primera Vez, Sólo en Ti et Miente, qui se classèrent tous trois en tête des charts de musique latine aux États-Unis mais aussi dans de nombreux pays hispanophones. Il est également nommé aux côtés de son père et de Louis Miguel dans la toute nouvelle catégorie des American Music Awards, Favorite Latin Artist. C'est son père qui remporte le prix mais il chante malgré tout lors de la soirée la chanson Lluvia Cae.
En 1998, Enrique Iglesias sort son troisième album, Cosas del Amor (Les choses de l'amour). Il prend alors une direction musicale plus mature, aidé par les singles à succès Esperanza et Nunca te Olvidaré, tous deux n°1 du classement Latin Singles Chart, ce qui assoit encore un peu plus sa position dominante sur la scène musicale latine.
Il effectue alors une petite tournée pour promouvoir l'album, avec une escale à Acapulco au Mexique. Celle-ci est suivie d'une plus grande tournée mondiale de plus de 80 dates. Le Cosas del Amor Tour est la première tournée à être sponsorisée par McDonald's.
Il remporte à cette période un American Music Award dans la catégorie Favorite Latin Artist, dans laquelle il était opposé à Ricky Martin et Los Tigres del Norte. La chanson Nunca te Olvidaré sera utilisée pour une sitcom espagnole du même nom dans laquelle il interprétera la chanson lors de l'épisode final de la série.

1999-2002: Enrique et Escape[modifier]

À partir de 1999, Enrique commence à chanter en anglais, inspiré par le succès d'autres chanteurs latinos qui se mettent désormais à chanter dans les deux langues, anglaise et espagnole, comme Ricky Martin. Sa contribution à la bande originale du film de Will Smith Wild Wild West ira dans ce sens puisque Bailamos se classera n°1 aux États-Unis dans la catégorie générale.
Après le succès de Bailamos, de nombreux labels désirent le produire. Il signe alors, après de nombreuses semaines de négociations, un contrat pour enregistrer plusieurs albums chez Interscope. Il enregistre et sort alors son premier album totalement en anglais, Enrique. Cet album pop, parsemé d'influences latines, est enregistré en deux mois et contient un duo avec la chanteuse Whitney Houston, Could I Have This Kiss Forever, ainsi qu'une reprise d'un titre de Bruce Springsteen, Sad Eyes. Le troisième single extrait de cet album, Be With You, deviendra son second n°1.
Le dernier single extrait de cet album, You're My number 1 est réenregistré et commercialisé dans certains pays seulement, car une partie de la chanson est désormais chantée par un artiste local (Alsou en Russie, Sandy & Junior au Brésil et Valen Hsu en Asie).
Enrique Iglesias enchaîne en 2001 avec l'album Escape. Là où les ventes de son précédent album n'avaient pas été flamboyantes, Enrique décide de faire le déplacement pour promouvoir celui-ci. Ainsi il va au Royaume-Uni et le premier single, Hero, se classe n°1 là-bas ainsi que dans d'autres pays. Tout l'album a été co-écrit par Enrique lui-même.
Escape est à ce jour sont plus grand succès commercial. Les singles Escape et Don't Turn Off The Lights furent énormément diffusés en radio, leur permettant de bien se classer dans de nombreux charts aux États-Unis et ailleurs. Une seconde édition de l'album fut commercialisée internationalement et contenait une nouvelle version de la chanson favorite d'Enrique, Maybe, ainsi qu'un duo avec Lionel Richie intitulé To Love a Woman.
Il profite alors du succès de l'album pour organiser la tournée One-Night Stand World Tour, une tournée de 50 représentations à guichets fermés à travers 16 pays. Après trois représentations consécutives au Royal Albert Hall de Londres, la partie européenne de la tournée s'est achevée au stade national Lia Manoliu de Bucarest en Roumanie. Ce concert fut le point de lancement de MTV Roumanie, et le clip de Love to See You Cry fut le premier à être diffusé sur la chaîne.
La seconde partie de la tournée, Don't Turn Off The Lights, se termina durant l'été 2002 après deux soirs complets au Madison Square Garden et deux autres à l'Auditorium National de Mexico. La date finale fut un show unique au Colisée Roberto Clemente de San Juan à Puerto Rico.

2002-2004 : Quizás et 7[modifier]

7 comporte Addicted, dont le clip vidéo tourné avec l'actrice Mischa Barton est assez glamour, avec Enrique Iglesias dans le rôle d'un prisonnier en manque de son amour (Mischa).

Il fait une apparition dans la série How I Met Your Mother (saison 3, épisodes 1 et 2) dans le rôle de Gael et aussi dans la série Two and a Half Men .
Une compilation intitulée 95/08 Exitos sort le 25 mars 2008 aux États-Unis et est certifié double disque de platine. Elle comprend deux nouvelles chansons : ¿Dónde Están Corazón? et Lloro Por Ti, écrites par Enrique Iglesias et Coti Sorokin. Une seconde compilation, intitulée Greatest Hits, sort en novembre 2008 aux États-Unis et en mars 2009 en Europe. L'album contient deux nouvelles chansons, Away en duo avec Sean Garrett (à l'origine, la chanson était prévue pour figurer sur l'album Doll Domination des Pussycat Dolls) et Takin' Back My Love en duo avec Ciara. Le 13 mars 2009 sortira en Europe une version de Takin' Back My Love en duo avec Ciara.
Parallèlement, Enrique collabore une nouvelle fois avec Nâdiya sur le dernier album de cette dernière (Electron libre) pour le titre Miss you.

Biography

Shah Rukh Khan attended the elite St. Columba's School in New Delhi where he won the school's highest accolade, The Sword of Honour.

Khan was born in 1965 to Muslim^[6] parents of Pathan descent in New Delhi, India.^[7] His father, Taj Mohammed Khan, was an Indian independence activist from Peshawar, British India. According to Khan, his paternal grandfather was originally from Afghanistan.^[8] His mother, Lateef Fatima, was the adopted daughter of Major General Shah Nawaz Khan of the Janjua Rajput clan, who served as a General in the Indian National Army of Subash Chandra Bose.^[9] Khan's father came to New Delhi from Qissa Khawani Bazaar in Peshawar before the partition of India,^[10] while his mother's family came from Rawalpindi, British India.^[11] Khan has an elder sister named Shehnaz.^[12]

Growing up in Rajendra Nagar neighbourhood,^[13] Khan attended St. Columba's School where he was accomplished in sports, drama, and academics. He won the Sword of Honour, an annual award given to the student who best represents the spirit of the school. Khan later attended theHansraj College (1985–1988) and earned his Bachelors degree in Economics (honors). Though he pursued a Masters Degree in Mass Communications at Jamia Millia Islamia, he later opted out to make his career in Bollywood.^[14]

After the death of his parents, Khan moved to Mumbai in 1991.^[15] In that same year, before any of his films were released, he married Gauri Chibber, a Hindu, in a traditional Hindu weddingceremony on 25 October 1991.^[16] They have two children, son Aryan (b. 1997) and daughter Suhana (b. 2000). According to Khan, while he strongly believes in Allah, he also values his wife's religion. At home, his children follow both religions, with the Qur'an being situated next to the Hindu deities.^[17]

In 2005, Nasreen Munni Kabir produced a two-part documentary on Khan, titled The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan. Featuring his 2004 Temptations concert tour, the film contrasted Khan's inner world of family and daily life with the outer world of his work. The book Still Reading Khan, which details his family life, was released in 2006. Another book by Anupama Chopra, King of Bollywood: Shahrukh Khan and the seductive world of Indian cinema, was released in 2007. It describes the world of Bollywood through Khan's life.^[18]^[19]

Film career

Background

Khan studied acting under celebrated Theatre Director Barry John at Delhi's Theatre Action Group (TAG). In 2007, John commented thus on his former pupil that, "The credit for the phenomenally successful development and management of Shahrukh's career goes to the superstar himself."^[20] Khan made his acting debut in 1988 when he appeared in the television series, Fauji, playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai.^[21] He went on to appear in several other television serials, most notably in the 1989 serial, Aziz Mirza's Circus, which depicted the life of circus performers.^[22] The same year, Khan also had a minor role in the made-for-television English-language film, In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones, which was based on life at Delhi University and was written by Arundhati Roy.

1990s

Upon moving from New Delhi to Mumbai in 1991,^[23] Khan made his Bollywood movie debut in Deewana (1992). The movie became a box office hit, and launched his career in Bollywood.^[24] His performance won him a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award. He went on to star in Maya Memsaab, which generated some controversy because of his appearance in an "explicit" sex scene in the movie.^[25]

In 1993, Khan won acclaim for his performances in villainous roles as an obsessive lover and a murderer, respectively, in the box office hits,Darr and Baazigar.^[26] In Khan's entry in Encyclopedia Britannica's "Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema" it was stated that "he defied the image of the conventional hero in both these films and created his own version of the revisionist hero."^[27] Darr marked his first collaboration with renowned film-maker Yash Chopra and his banner Yash Raj Films, the largest production company in Bollywood. Baazigar, which saw Khan portraying an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, shocked its Indian audience with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula.^[28] His performance won him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award. In that same year, Khan played the role of a young musician in Kundan Shah's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a performance that earned him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance. Khan maintains that this is his all-time favourite among the movies he has acted in.^[29] In 1994, Khan once again played an obsessive lover/psycho's role in Anjaam, co-starring alongside Madhuri Dixit. Though the movie was not a box office success, Khan's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Villain Award.^[30]

In 1995, Khan starred in the two biggest hits of the year in India. His first release was Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun. The film, which dealt with reincarnation, became the second-highest grossing film of the year.^[31] He followed it with Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, the romanceDilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. A major critical and commercial success, the movie became the year's top-grossing production in India.^[32] In 2007, it entered its twelfth year in Mumbai theaters. By then the movie had grossed over 12 billion rupees, making it one of India's biggest movie blockbusters.^[33] Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge won ten Filmfare Awards, and Khan's performance as a young NRI who falls for Kajol's character while on a college vacation, won him his second Best Actor Award. In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the movie amongst the 25 Must See Bollywood Films, citing it as a "trendsetter of sorts".^[34] In that same year's retrospective review by Rediff, Raja Sen stated, "Khan gives a fabulous performance, redefining the Lover for the 1990s with great panache. He's cool and flippant, but sincere enough to appeal to the junta. The performance itself is, like the best in the business, played well enough to come across as effortless, as non-acting."^[35]

1996 was a disappointing year for Khan as all his movies released that year failed to do well at the box office.^[36] This was, however, followed by a comeback in 1997. He saw success with Subhash Ghai's social drama Pardes — one of the biggest hits of the year — and Aziz Mirza's comedy Yes Boss, a moderately successful feature.^[37] His second project with Yash Chopra as a director, Dil to Pagal Hai became that year's second highest-grossing movie, and he won his third Filmfare Best Actor Award for his role as a stage director who falls in love with one of his new actresses.^[37]

In 1998, Khan starred in Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which was the biggest hit of the year.^[38] His performance won him his fourth Best Actor award at the Filmfare. He won critical praise for his performance in Mani Ratnam's Dil Se. The movie did not do well at the Indian box office, though it was a commercial success overseas.^[39] Khan's only release in 1999, Baadshah, was an average grosser.^[40]

2000s

Khan's success continued with Aditya Chopra's 2000 film, Mohabbatein, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan. It did well at the box office, and Khan's performance as a college teacher won him his second Critics Award for Best Performance. He also starred in Mansoor Khan's action film Josh. The film starred Khan as the leader of a Christian gang in Goa and Aishwarya Rai as his twin sister, and was also a box office success.^[41] In that same year, Khan set up his own production house, Dreamz Unlimited with Juhi Chawla (see below). Both Khan and Chawla starred in the first movie of their production house, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.^[41] His work with Karan Joharcontinued as he collaborated on the family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham which was the second biggest hit of the year. He also received favorable reviews for his performance as EmperorAsoka in the historical epic, Asoka, a partly fictionalised account of the life of Ashoka the Great (304 BC–232 BC).^[42]

In 2002, Khan received acclaim for playing the title role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's award-winning period romance, Devdas. It was the third Hindi movie adaptation of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's well-known novel of the same name, and surfaced as one of the biggest hits of that year.^[43] Khan also starred opposite Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit in the family-drama Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, which did well at the box office.^[43] In 2003, Khan starred in the moderately successful romantic drama, Chalte Chalte.^[44] That same year, he starred in the tearjerker, Kal Ho Naa Ho, written by Karan Johar and directed by Nikhil Advani. Khan's performance in this movie as a man with a fatal heart disease was appreciated. The movie proved to be one of the year's biggest hits in India and Bollywood's biggest hit in the overseas markets.^[44]

2004 was a particularly good year for Khan, both commercially and critically. He starred in Farah Khan's directorial debut, the comedy Main Hoon Na. The movie did well at the box office. He then played the role of an Indian officer, Veer Pratap Singh in Yash Chopra's love sagaVeer-Zaara, which was the biggest hit of 2004 in both India and overseas.^[45] The film relates the love story of Veer and Pakistani woman Zaara Haayat Khan, played by Preity Zinta. Khan's performance in the film won him awards at several award ceremonies. In that same year, he received critical acclaim for his performance in Ashutosh Gowariker's drama Swades. He was nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Awardfor all three of his releases in 2004, winning it for Swades.^[45]

In 2006, Khan collaborated with Karan Johar for the fourth time with the melodrama movie Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. It did well in India and much more so in the overseas market, becoming the biggest Bollywood hit in the overseas market of all-time.^[46] His second release that year saw him playing the title role in the action film Don: The Chase Begins Again, a remake of the 1978 hit Don. The movie was a success.^[46]

Khan's success continued with a few more highly popular films. One of his most successful works was the multiple award-winning 2007 film,Chak De India, about the Indian women's national hockey team. Earning over Rs 639 million, Chak De India became the third highest grossing movie of 2007 in India and won yet another Filmfare Best Actor Award for Khan.^[47] The film was a major critical success.^[48] In the same year Khan also starred in Farah Khan's 2007 film, Om Shanti Om. The film emerged as the year's highest grossing film in India and the overseas market, and became India's highest grossing production ever up to that point.^[47] It earned him another nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare ceremony. Khan's more recent films include the 2008 release, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which was a huge box office success, and his only 2009 release was Billu which failed at the box office.

Khan's next film was My Name Is Khan, his fourth collaboration with director Karan Johar and the sixth movie in which he is paired with Kajol. Filming commenced in December 2008 in Los Angeles and ended in October 2009. While on one shoot in Los Angeles, along with his wifeGauri and director Karan Johar, he took a break from filming to attend the 66th Golden Globe Awards, held in Los Angeles, California, on 11 January 2009.^[49]^[50] Khan introduced Slumdog Millionaire, a movie he had previously turned down, along with a star from the film, Freida Pinto. My Name Is Khan was released on 12 February 2010.^[51] Based on a true story, and set against the backdrop of perceptions on Islam post 11 September attacks, My Name Is Khan stars Khan as Rizwan Khan, a Muslim man suffering from Asperger syndrome who sets out on a journey across America on a mission to meet the country's President and clear his name. Upon release, the film received positive reviews from critics and became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in the overseas market. Khan won his eighth Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his portrayal, threby joining Dilip Kumar as the record holder in this category. He is currently filming for Anubhav Sinha's science fiction Ra.One opposite Kareena Kapoor, which is due for release on June 3, 2011.

Producer

Khan at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival in Germany

Khan turned producer when he set up a production company called Dreamz Unlimited with Juhi Chawla and director Aziz Mirza in 1999. The first two of the films he produced and starred in: Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000) and Asoka (2001) were box office failures.^[42] However, his third film as a producer and star, Chalte Chalte (2003), proved a box office hit.^[44]

In 2004, Khan set up another production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, and produced and starred in Main Hoon Na, another hit.^[45] The following year, he produced and starred in the fantasy film Paheli, which did poorly.^[52] It was, however, India's official entry to the Academy Awards for consideration for Best Foreign Language Film, but it did not pass the final selection. Also in 2005, Khan co-produced the supernatural horror film Kaal with Karan Johar, and performed an item number for the film with Malaika Arora Khan. Kaal was moderately successful at the box office.^[52]His company has gone on to produce Om Shanti Om (2007), in which he starred, and Billu (2009), in which he played a supporting role as a Bollywood superstar.

Apart from film production, the company also has a visual effects studio known as Red Chillies VFX. It has also ventured into television content production, with shows like, The First Ladies, Ghar Ki Baat Hai', and Knights and Angels. Television advertisements are also produced by the company.^[53]

In 2008, Red Chillies Entertainment became the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the BCCI-backed IPL cricket competition.
