Anitta, Luis Fonsi, Laura Pausini, and Thalia will host the 23rd Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards

Larissa de Macedo Machado, known as Anitta, has become one of Brazil’s brightest pop stars in Latin music and beyond. By proudly singing in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, she has helped Brazilian culture reach a global audience. The eight-time Latin GRAMMY nominee made history earlier this year when her Spanish-language single “Envolver” topped the Global Top 50 chart on Spotify, making Anitta the first Brazilian singer and the first solo Latin artist to do so.

She is nearing a decade since she signed with Warner Music Brazil to release her self-titled debut album. With her breakthrough album, 2015’s Bang, she established herself as one of Brazil’s top artists. In 2017, she made her Spanish-language debut with “Paradinha” and later “Downtown” with J Balvin.

Anitta has since collaborated with artists worldwide, like Cardi B, Maluma, Major Lazer, Alesso, Iggy Azalea, and Nile Rodgers. She extended her reach beyond Brazil with the trilingual album Kisses in 2019. This year’s Versions of Me album has made her a global star.

Thalia is a Latin pop music icon. During a career of over three decades, the Mexican singer and actress have expanded her empire as a businesswoman, author, fashion designer, and social media star. She is also known for her iconic telenovelas that continue to be played worldwide in many different languages.

In 2013, Thalia was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her impact in helping globalize Latin music and culture. In 2018, she topped Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart for a fourth consecutive time with Valiente.

Thalia has received six Latin GRAMMY Award nominations. In 2019, she was honored by The Latin Recording Academy with the President’s Award. The following year, Thalia premiered a 6-episode digital series called Latin Music Queens on Facebook Watch, where she collaborated with the next generation of female Latin artists. She also launched her music collection Thalia: Los Inicios, which put the first albums of her career on digital music platforms for the first time, including Thalia (1990), Mundo De Cristal (1991), Love (1992), and Marimar (1994). Last year, Thalia released her most recent album, desAMORfosis.

Luis Fonsi is one the biggest stars in Latin music and beyond. In his two-decade-plus career, the Puerto Rican singer/songwriter has won five Latin GRAMMY Awards and received five GRAMMY nominations. In 1998, Fonsi released his first studio album, the aptly titled Comenzaré.

Since then, he has taken Latin music to new heights and broken many records while leading the charts. In 2017, Fonsi released the global hit “Despacito” with Daddy Yankee, which became a Latin pop culture phenomenon leading the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 16 weeks. The 55-times Platinum hit won Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 18th Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards.

His subsequent album Vida was certified double diamond for more than 1.3 million copies sold in the United States alone. Fonsi has collaborated with Juan Luis Guerra, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Ozuna, Laura Pausini, Juan Gabriel, Christina Aguilera, Eros Ramazzotti, and Rauw Alejandro, amongst many others.

His latest album Ley de Gravedad arrived earlier this year, debuting Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and registering 975 million combined streams on the different digital platforms where Fonsi has a total of 42.7 billion combined streams.

Laura Pausini is one of the world’s most successful Italian female artists. In her nearly three-decade career, she has sold over 70 million albums while performing her hits in six different languages. She has also impacted the Latin music market since her first Spanish-language album was released in 1994.

Pausini has won four Latin GRAMMY Awards and a GRAMMY. Last year, she won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for “Io sì (Seen),” which she co-wrote with hit songwriter Diane Warren. The song also earned her an Oscar nomination.

Pausini has collaborated with renowned artists like Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Ray Charles, Phil Collins, Shakira, Mariah Carey, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Kylie Minogue, Alejandro Sanz, Céline Dion, and Michael Jackson.

Earlier this year, she released the Amazon Original film Laura Pausini: Pleasure To Meet You (Un placer conocerte in Spanish). She is writing her upcoming studio album five years after her 2018 Latin GRAMMY-winning Fatti Sentire / Hazte Sentir.
