Julio
Iglesias, Jr. was born in Madrid, which he still visits
often, but he was raised in the musical and social melting pot of
modern Miami. Like Miami itself, his work has a sultry, international
feel. The soulful dance-pop of his debut, with its funky handclaps,
occasional techno throbs, and gospel-inflected choruses, seems as well
suited to Ibiza as South Florida - and probably every place in
between. His is a world beat, and a worldly one, too, a music without
borders, sung in English but really speaking the universal language of
desire set to a seductive groove.
 Julio hasn't exactly been a stranger
to the spotlight. Before he began to concentrate full-time on his
music, he had established himself as an in-demand model and a
promising actor who was on a fast track to television success. One
look is all you need to understand why the likes of photographer Bruce
Weber, after spotting a picture of young Julio with his family,
offered him the chance to work on a Versace campaign. Then the
esteemed fashion lensman Mario Testino enlisted Julio for a Gap ad.
Vanguard New York designer John Bartlett, among others, invited Julio
to walk the runway for him. But these were merely glamorous
distractions.
 In between his college studies in San Francisco, Julio
Iglesias, Jr. – who had long yearned to act – auditioned for an NBC
teen-oriented series, "Out Of The Blue," and won a weekly
role. He was later enlisted by The Travel Channel to host a 22-episode
series exploring exotic destinations in Latin America and South
America. Julio got a grand tour of the world south of Dade County and
became a familiar face to Latin audiences. He would have become even
more familiar if he had accepted the role he was offered on a
star-making soap opera for Mexico's major Televisa network. But
despite its potential rewards, the multi-year commitment would have
kept Julio from his simmering musical ambitions. In the US, he was
offered a spot on the New York-based soap "All My
Children," but by then, the pull of the music had proven
irresistible. Back in Miami, Julio Iglesias, Jr.
hunkered down with his guitar,
his voice, his words and a tape deck. He began to collaborate with
producer, composer and friend Rodolfo Castillo, with whom he would
eventually make "Under
My Eyes." They began working in Castillo's
home studio, which Julio recalls fondly today, because that humble
place represents the roots and the spirit of his music, a simple and
safe environment conducive to experimentation and unfettered
expression. Even though "Under
My Eyes" is a lushly
upholstered affair, Julio has tried to maintain the sense of intimacy
and discovery that marked the project's do-it-yourself beginnings.
Julio and Rodolfo eventually put in many hours at the Hit Factory in
New York and Ocean Way in Los Angeles, along with studio time in
Miami, but they still managed to include some of their homemade
tracks. Julio particularly wanted his vocals to come from that
up-close-and-personal setting.
Julio's voice is equal
parts silk and grit, a fervid whisper testifying to passions
remembered or imagined.
The charming and handsome Julio Iglesias, Jr.
is obviously a
man of the world. He can enthuse about the San Francisco 49ers, whom
he began to champion during his college days, and in the next breath
declare his loyalty to España as far as all things soccer-related. He
also enjoys the daytime physical pleasures of Miami: windsurfing,
water-skiing, the beach, etc.
Julio is resolutely building a musical
career on his own terms. Welcome to his world.
