Famous for his sold-out performances, Julio Iglesias has for nearly three decades been synonymous with romantic ballads and a career that has been filled with one record-setting achievement after another. Iglesias is a living legend who received the first and only Diamond Record Award ever given to a performer by the Guinness Book of World Records for selling more records in more languages than any other musical artist in history. Often referred to as “the universal voice” and the “master of the love song,” Iglesias performs concerts in multiple languages around the world unrivaled not just in the number of albums sold but also in the number of lives he has touched. Born in Madrid, Spain, Iglesias won a songwriter’s contest at the age of twenty-five and signed a contract with Discos Columbia, the Latin music label of the Columbia Records company. Two years later in 1970, he entered the Eurovision Song Contest representing his home country … he earned fourth place with his song “Gwendolyne.” It was then in 1978 when Iglesias signed a contract with CBS International adding English, French, Portuguese and German to his repertoire. His first English album, De Nina A Mujer was released in 1983 and became an instant hit. He then released 1100 Bel Air Place in 1984 … it sold three million copies in the US with the first single, “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before,” a duet with Willie Nelson reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured a duet with Diana Ross entitled “All of You.”

In 1985, he became one of the few Hispanic artists to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and as well, he received an affectionate tribute from Miami residents where he resides granting him a place of honour on the legendary Walk of Latin Stars. In 1988, he received a Grammy Award for “Best Latin Singer of the Year” for his album, Un hombre solo. Earlier this year, just before the start of the European leg of his world tour, his eighth child, Guillermo, was born. Julio Iglesias will be performing at both the River Rock Casino Resort and the Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in May, 2009.
