With a career spanning over two decades, three Grammy Awards, 20 million albums sold, and
starring roles on Broadway, the acclaimed, romantic sounds of Jon Secada, have resulted in
numerous hits in English and Spanish, establishing him as one of the first bilingual artists to
have international crossover success. Adored by millions around the world, he is recognized as
an international superstar by both fans and peers alike for his soulful and melodic voice.
In 2017 Secada returned to the stages, bringing to life a heartfelt tribute to Beny Moré, one of
Cuba’s most beloved icons. Produced by Julio Bagué with the support of Peer Music and in the
company of The Charlie Sepulveda Big band ”…To Beny Moré With Love” finds the Cuban
American artist re-recording ten of Moré’s timeless classics, arranged by none other than Ray
Santos. The biggest challenge with the project was to make sure they did it by the original
arrangements and vocals since they wanted to preserve as much as possible the integrity of the
music.
Acknowledged as Humanitarian of the year in 2016 by The Muhammad Ali Foundation,
Secada’s career skyrocketed in 1991, with the release of his self-titled debut album Jon Secada
(SBK/EMI), which sold over six million copies worldwide, was certified triple platinum in the U.S.,
and reached No.15 on Billboard’s Pop album chart. The Spanish-language version of the album,
Otro Dia Mas Sin Verte (EMI-Latin), went on to become the Number One Latin album of 1992
and earned Jon his first Grammy Award, for “Best Latin Pop Album.” Three more top 20
Billboard hits would eventually come from that album including “Angel,” “I’m Free,” and “Do You
Believe In Us.” The unprecedented success for Secada continued in 1994 with the platinum
selling release of his second album Heart, Soul and Voice (EMI), which garnered another top 10
hit, "If You Go", and followed with his third album, Amor, earning him his second Grammy
Award for “Best Latin Pop Performance.”
