Biography

Marta began her musical career with the band "Cristal Oskuro," but shortly after she was discovered by Tino Azores, a sound technician for the popular pop/rock group Olé Olé. In 1985, Marta became the lead singer of Olé Olé, which brought her to fame and made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1980s in Spain, during a time when the country was easing the traditional rigid moral values of Catholicism.

In concert.

Her first hit with Olé-Olé was "Lilli Marlen", a Spanish adaptation of the popular World War II German love song. Other hits like "Bailando Sin Salir de Casa" and "Con Sólo Una Mirada" followed with the group. She remained with the band until 1991 before deciding to pursue a solo career.

In 1993, Marta released her debut solo album, Mujer. Her first single, "Desesperada", was released both in Spain and The Americas. Mujer 's 2nd single, "Tal Vez" was provided by Thomas Anders[1] (of Modern Talking fame) but it was the 3rd single, "De Mujer a Mujer" which would establish her as a household name all over Latin America. Following this successful debut album, Marta released Mujer 's English version titled Woman, being one of the first Latin artists to do the English "Crossover". Marta's second solo album, Mi Mundo, was released in 1995 with worldwide hits like "Dime La Verdad" followed by "Arena y Sol", & "La Belleza". Due to the success of Mi Mundo Marta once again released her second album in English titled My World. In 1996, Marta recorded "Obsession", a song for the movie Curdled produced by Quentin Tarantino. Her third solo album, Azabache, was released in 1997 with the collaboration of Slash from Guns N' Roses and Nile Rodgers. The first single, "Moja Mi Corazón" reached Nº 1 in Spain and Mexico's pop airplay in 1997.

On tour in 2007.

In 1997 she recorded the successful duet song "Vivo Por Ella" (Vivo per lei) with Andrea Bocelli which became a major hit in Latin America. Marta released her 4th album, Desconocida in 1998 which includes the hits "Desconocida", "Quiero Más de Ti" and "Los Mejores Años de Nuestra Vida". In 2000 she led the musical La Magia de Broadway. Her fifth album, Soy Yo, was released in 2002 and was certified Double Platinum in Spain, selling over 200 000 units. In 2004, she released Lo Mejor de Marta Sánchez a greatest hits compilation with 3 new songs, "Profundo Valor", "Caradura". The compilation also included updated versions (with new recorded vocals) of "Desesperada" & "Soldados del Amor" (from her Olé Olé days) produced by Carlos Jean. In 2005, she launched her first live album titled Gira 2005: La Coruña En Directo which was released on CD and DVD.

April 2007 saw the release of "Superstar", the lead single from Miss Sánchez, her first studio album since Soy Yo, the song became an instant hit reaching the top positions on airplay and digital sales charts in Spain. The song was produced and co-written by the electro hit maker DJ Sammy. The album, which debuted at Nº3 on physical CD sales and at Nº1 on digital sales, is Marta's most successful album in Spain in terms of charting and was certified Gold. Instead of releasing songs which had become fan-favorites like "Si me cambias los recuerdos" or "Reina de la radio" as the second single, Marta choose the disco-influenced "Levántate", which became a minor hit in Spain, overshadowed by "Superstar"'s enduring popularity. Following the success of Miss Sánchez, she was chosen as Europride 2007's Special Guest and the album was named Spanish album of the year at the 2007 Shangay Awards. In the end of 2008 Marta collaborated with Venezuelan singer Carlos Baute with the song Colgando En Tus Manos. This was a huge hit setting iTunes Records in Spain maintaining in Nº1 spot for 29 straight weeks. The Single was later released in the Americas being in the Top 5 in Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Chile, El Salvador, Colombia, Argentina & Mexico. The single was Nº1 in Mexico & 2 weeks in a row Nº1 on Billboard Latin Pop Songs. Sánchez is scheduled to release a Greatest Hits with special guests who will joining her.
