After spending five years in the spotlight with Menudo, Martin set-off on his own musical path. His self-titled solo album was debuted in 1991. Martin's continued growing success of landmark singles, including "Maria," and his globally embraced 1998 WORLD Cup Anthem "La Copa de la Vida" (The Cup of Life), vaulted him to the level of bona fide global superstar. Martin spent the latter part of the year in 2012 on stage inhabiting Che, the lead role in the Broadway revival of the musical "Evita." Following his very successful year long run in "Evita," Martin started another exciting adventure and embarked this time as one of the coaches on the second and third season of "The Voice" in Australia.
