Musical Debut and Rise to Fame

Alejandro began his professional music career in 1992 with the release of his self-titled debut album, Alejandro Fernández, which featured traditional mariachi music. Songs like “Necesito olvidarla” and “Brumas” resonated with fans of classic ranchera.

His breakthrough came with the album “Piel De Niña” (1993), and he continued to solidify his place in regional Mexican music with subsequent albums like:

• Grandes Éxitos a la Manera de Alejandro Fernández (1994)
• Que Seas Muy Feliz (1995), featuring the hit “Como quien pierde una estrella”

Genre Expansion: From Ranchera to Pop

While he built his reputation in ranchera music, Alejandro took a bold turn in 1997 with the album Me Estoy Enamorando, produced by Emilio Estefan. It marked a significant departure into Latin pop and bolero. The album included massive hits like:

• “Si Tú Supieras”
• “En El Jardín” (duet with Gloria Estefan)
• “Yo Nací Para Amarte”

This genre crossover significantly broadened his fan base across Latin America, the U.S., and Spain.

Continued Success and International Recognition

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Fernández released a string of successful albums, showcasing his versatility across genres:

• Orígenes (2001) – a return to his ranchera roots
• A Corazón Abierto (2004) – pop ballads and romantic tracks
• Viento a Favor (2007)
• Dos Mundos (2009) – released in two versions: Tradición (ranchera) and Evolución (pop)

He has collaborated with many high-profile artists including Beyoncé, Marc Anthony, Plácido Domingo, Alejandro Sanz, and Christina Aguilera.
