Chayanne Essentials

This superstar's career might have turned out differently if he'd been accepted into the boy-band phenomenon Menudo when he auditioned. Instead, he joined the Puerto Rican group Los Chicos in '79, before releasing a solo debut album five years later. Fans soon found out that Chayanne was equally adept at singing impassioned love songs as he was high-energy pop tracks, and he quickly built a large following. A triple threat, the man born Elmer Figueroa Arce is known for his polished dance moves and has amassed an impressive amount of acting credits.
