Marco Antonio Solís (born December 29, 1959) is a Mexican musician, composer, and record producer.[1][2] Solís has been awarded 5 Latin Grammy Awards throughout his career.
Early life and career
Marco Antonio Solís began performing at age 6 as part of Los Hermanitos Solís, with cousin, Joel Solís. In the mid-1970s he formed "Los Bukis" with whom he achieved success in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the United States. As lead singer and chief song-writer of Los Bukis, Solís became known in the industry for outside writing and producing for popular singers such as Marisela and Rocío Dúrcal. In 1995, after almost 20 years of working with the group, he decided to pursue a solo career.
As a solo artist he has remained popular in his native Mexico[3] as well throughout Latin America and Spain, and the United States[4][5] with more than thirty entries on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, including multiple number one hits. He has worked with Olga Tañón, Ana Bárbara, and most recently Enrique Iglesias and Anaís, among others. On August 5, 2010, Solís received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marco Antonio Solís appeared as a vocal coach in the third season of La Voz... México and won the competition. He went on tour to promote his album Gracias Por Estar Aqui a few weeks after. His album, “Gracias Por Estar Aquí”, was released October 22, 2013 and debuted at #1 in Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart.[6]
Personal life
Solís was married to Beatriz Adriana, a Mexican singer, with whom he had a daughter, also named Beatriz Adriana (but performs under the name B.A. Solís). The couple later divorced, and Solís is now married to Cristian Salas, whom he met when he was with Los Bukis. She was his main love interest in the music video for A Aquella. He has two daughters with his wife, Alison and Marla, and became a grandfather when his daughter Beatriz gave birth to a son, Leonardo. He also has a son, Marco Antonio Solís Jr. who, though little else is known about him, made headlines when he got married. He dated Marisela in the 80s before meeting Cristian.[7][8][9][10]
