Marco Antonio Solís

Marco Antonio Solís Sosa was born on December 29, 1959, in Ario de Rosales, Michoacán, Mexico, and began performing as a child with his cousin Joel Solís in the duo Los Hermanitos Solís before they evolved into Los Bukis in the mid-1970s. With Los Bukis, he spent nearly two decades as lead singer, principal songwriter and producer, releasing a run of successful albums from Falso Amor (1975) through Por Amor a Mi Pueblo (1995) and scoring major regional Mexican hits such as "Tu cárcel" from Me Volví a Acordar de Ti (1987) and "Y ahora te vas" from Si Me Recuerdas (1988), which topped Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and established the band as a cornerstone of música grupera across Latin America and the United States. After the group’s dissolution in the mid-1990s, Marco Antonio Solís launched a solo career with En Pleno Vuelo (1996), then consolidated his status as a Latin pop star with the albums Marco Antonio Solís (1997), Trozos de Mi Alma (1999), and Más de Mi Alma (2001), which generated enduring singles including "Si no te hubieras ido", "O me voy o te vas", and "Más que tu amigo". Through the 2000s and early 2010s he continued releasing charting albums such as Tu Amor o Tu Desprecio (2003), Razón de Sobra (2004), En Total Plenitud (2010), and Gracias por Estar Aquí (2013), while collaborating with artists like Jenni Rivera, Enrique Iglesias, Los Tigres del Norte and Camila. Later projects included the live album Por Amor a Morelia Michoacán (2015), the career-spanning compilation 40 Años (2016), and the anthology Con Amor y Sentimiento (2020). By the 2020s, he had been inducted into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, won multiple Latin Grammy Awards, and in 2022 was named Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year, remaining active with tours and new releases, including the 2025 duet "Coleccionando heridas" with Karol G.
