Background
Born in Madrid, Sanz began playing guitar at age seven. He released his debut album the age of sixteen, although he did not gain commercial success until his second release “Viviendo Deprisa”.
His career began in late 1988. He recorded the album “Los Chulos Son Pa' Cuidarlos” under the pseudonym of Alexander the Great.
He also took a job at a recording studio in which he wrote material for other artists.
In the spring of 2007, Sanz suffered a mental breakdown and took two months off in the middle of a world tour at the request of his doctor.
