Gloria Estefan

Singer-Songwriter

Gloria Estefan, an international superstar, is one of the most recognized artists in the world. With five GRAMMY Awards and more than seventy million albums sold world-wide, Estefan is the single most successful crossover performer in the history of Latin music. Estefan began her career as lead vocalist for the Miami Sound Machine, a then exclusively Spanish language group that was among the first pioneering Latino groups to break into the mainstream pop market. In 1987 they won the American Music Award for Best Pop Band. In 1989 she went solo with the worldwide success of Cut Both Ways. While touring for this album, a tractor trailer crashed into Estefan's tour bus, critically injuring her and breaking her back. After enduring almost a year of grueling physical therapy, Estefan made an astonishing full recovery from injuries that should have left her paralyzed and returned to the top of the charts with the release of the multi-platinum album Into the Light and a nine country world tour. Now, over a decade later, she continues to thrive and secure her status as one of pop music’s true and enduring originals. She has won the Hispanic Heritage Award, an MTV Music Award, two cable television ACE awards and the 1993 National Music Foundation's Humanitarian of the Year award. She has been honored twice by the Songwriters Hall of Fame: in 1996 she won the Hitmaker Award; and along with her husband, Emilio, won the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. In 2003, she was inducted into the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. She was also the recipient of the American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement and has a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. She now writes about the value of individuality and the power of self-respect.
