To date, he has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. In 2023, "Rolling Stone" magazine ranked Anthony at #167 on its "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" list. Marc is also known for his former marriage to Jennifer Lopez. They were married from 2004 to 2014 (though they separated initially in 2011). They welcomed twins Emme and Max together.
Marc began learning music from his father, who taught him how to sing in both Spanish and English. He is actually named after the Mexican singer Marco Antonio Muñiz. He began his musical career as a session vocalist for freestyle music and underground New York house music acts and then was a songwriter and backing vocalist for the pop acts Menudo and the Latin Rascals. This is around the time that he began going by the name Marc Anthony to avoid confusion with his namesake. He gained fame by performing a style of salsa that borrowed more heavily from African American and urban genres he listened to growing up.
After initially being reluctant to become a salsa musician, Marc eventually changed his mind and worked with RMM Records to release his Spanish-language debut, "Otra Nota," in 1993. He followed this up with the album "Todo a su Tiempo" (1995), which earned him a "Billboard" Award for Hot Tropical Artist of the Year and a Grammy nomination. The album has sold more than 800,000 copies and has been certified Gold in both the United States and Puerto Rico. He released "Contra La Coriente" in 1997. The album's song "Y Huubo Alguien" was his first #1 single on the "Billboard" Hot Latin Tracks and was the first song to top the chart by a salsa musician. It also was the first salsa album ever to enter the "Billboard" 200 chart. He left RMM in 1999 and joined Sony Records.
In 1999, riding the crossover wave of other Spanish-language artists likeRicky MartinandEnrique Iglesias, Anthony took a shot at the Anglophone market with the English-language album "Marc Anthony." It debuted at #8 on the "Billboard" 200 and went Platinum just six weeks later. Eventually, it was certified triple platinum, and the song "I Need To Know" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. He has since released the albums "Libre" (2001), "Mended" (2002), "Amar Sin Mentiras" (2004), "Valio la Pena" (2004), "El Cantante" (2007), "Iconos" (2010), "3.0" (2013), "Opus" (2019), and "Pa'llá Voy" (2022).
Anthony first ventured into acting with supporting roles in films like "Hackers" (1995), "Big Night" (1996) and "The Substitute" (1996). He then appeared in the 1998 stage musical "The Capeman" withRuben BladesandEdnita Nazario. The stage show ran for a total of 68 performances.
