1779

As he explained to ABC, the Martins traveled from Spain to Puerto Rico in 1779.

He also has some Corsican origins through his paternal grandmother.

Martin grew up Catholic.

The people closest to him called him "Kiki" (a nickname that comes from Enrique).

He began singing at age six, using wooden kitchen spoons as make-believe microphones; he often sang songs by Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, as well as English-language rock groups such as Led Zeppelin, Journey, and REO Speedwagon.

His mother's side of the family was musically inclined and his maternal grandfather was a poet.

Martin later reflected on his time spent with his family as a child: "Every time I find myself in front of an audience, be it twenty people or one hundred thousand, once again I feel the energy that consumed me back at the family gatherings of my youth."

He attended Colegio Sagrado Corazón, a bilingual Catholic grade school in University Gardens since fourth grade and was an "average" student there.

When he was nine years old, he began appearing in television commercials for products such as soft drinks, toothpaste, and fast food restaurants, including Orange Crush and Burger King.
