Puerto Rican-born singer Luis Fonsi moved to Orlando, FL as a child and began his career in show business as a teenager, singing in a high school vocal group called the Big Guys with his friend (and future N'Sync supestar) Joey Fatone. After high school, Fonsi went on to classical vocal study at Florida State University and began recording demos in Miami. The head of Universal Latin's AR heard him and offered him a contract; his debut album Comenzare appeared in 1999, and the follow-up Eterno arrived the next year. A remix album bided his time until 2002, when both Amor Secreto and Fight the Feeling were released. The former was the third Spanish language album in his catalog, while the latter was his first attempt at recording an all-English speaking album.
