Comenzó interpretando temas con mariachi y música tradicional mexicana. Últimamente canta también música pop.
Alejandro Fernández (born April 24, 1971) is a popular Latin Grammy-winning Mexican singer nicknamed as "El Potrillo" ("The Little Colt") by the media and his fans. ] Alejandro originally specialized in traditional, earthy forms of Mexican folk and country music, such as mariachi and ranchera. However, his more recent work has focused on mainstream pop music. He is the son of Vicente Fernández, also a popular Mexican country singer. His nickname "El Potrillo" (The Little Colt) was given to him by the media and his fans because of his being the son of Vicente, who is considered the most popular charro in Mexico.
Career
Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, he trained as an architect but turned to singing in 1991, encouraged by his father. A year later, he released his first album, titled Alejandro Fernandez. Since then, he has recorded 18 albums and sold a reported 15 million records, working with producers such as Emilio Estefan, Jr. and Kike Santander. His first public appearance was in 1976, when his father presented him on one of his shows, he was meant to perform the song "Alejandra". In the middle of the song he forgot the lyrics, started crying and suffered a panic attack, but then, his father got on stage and helped him singing along the song, making it a very touching moment between Alejandro and his father.
In 1992, Alejandro Fernández released his debut, self-titled album, launching one of the most prolific, successful and memorable careers in Latin music. Since then, the son of legendary ranchera singer Vicente Fernández has done what few progeny of famous parents have ever been able to achieve: He’s followed in his father’s footsteps, but at the same time, he’s carved out his own, separate path, thanks to his skilled vocals and an unparalleled stage presence. Fernández also has portrayed the lead role in zapata: El sueño del héroe, a 2004 movie about the Mexican revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata by filmmaker Alfonso Arau, which proved to be one of the greatest disappointments in the Nuevo Cine Mexicano era, spending 7 million dollars in production and publicity but faring poorly at the box office.
While most Latin acts talk about crossovers from Spanish to English, Alejandro is one of only a handful of artists that have managed to become a superstar by crossing over from the world of traditional ranchera music to the world of pop. That duality began in 1997 with Me Estoy Enamorando, a collaboration with producer Emilio Estefan that sold 3 million copies worldwide and established Alejandro as an international star. In 1998, Alejandro performed along with the operatic tenor Placido Domingo and the French singer Patricia Kaas in Christmas in Vienna VI.
In 2004, A Corazón Abierto reunites Alejandro with Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Kike Santander, who penned his greatest hits from "Me Estoy Enamorando". But it also finds him singing the songs of a bold new generation of songwriters, including Gian Marco, Leonel García (one half of pop duo Sin Bandera), Reyli Barba (former member of pop band Elefante) and Mexican group Tres De Copas.
"A Corazón Abierto" is about love, but it’s hardly a staid album. Quite the opposite. Under the guidance of producers Kike Santander and Aureo Baqueiro, the sound of this record is taken beyond the traditional and is an album rich in instrumentation—rippling guitars, flowing strings and mariachi lines—that treads on folk, rock and ranchera elements with organic ease and conviction. The superb emotional and musical interpretations are the clincher. At times exuberant, "A Corazón Abierto" can also be an album of subtle understatement, unafraid to bare the singer in every sense of the word.
"Romanticism is something that will never die", says Alejandro Fernández, explaining his choice of songs on "A Corazón Abierto", his breakthrough recording about lost love, love that is never forgotten and the capacity to always love again. "I’m super, ultra passionate. We’re releasing an album that’s an x-ray of myself. That’s why it’s titled "A Corazón Abierto". It was something very honest. Not naked, but something deeper than that".
In 2005, Alejandro launches México - Madrid: En Directo Y Sin Escalas (in English: Mexico - Madrid: Nonstop). Featuring 13 tracks including one new song, this album is Fernández at his best - live and in concert! "Produced by Aureo Baquiero and filmed in front of a live audience at Spain’s Palacio de Congresos IFEMA, the production features Fernández performing some of his biggest hits accompanied by a 28-piece orchestra and some of Spain’s most important voices on three of the songs: Amaia from La Oreja de Van Gogh joins him on "Me dediqué a perderte"; Malú duets with him on "Contigo aprendí", and with flamenco star Diego El Cigala perform a moving version of "Como quien pierde una estrella", accompanied on cajon by famed Flamenco guitarist Niño Josele. That same year, Alejandro was chosen to sing along with the tenors Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo in a special concerto celebrating the opening of the "Forum Internacional de las Culturas" in Monterrey. Alejandro's performance was praised by the audience. He also recorded a duet song with the tenor Mario Frangoulis called "Hay Más" from the album Follow Your Heart.
In 2007, launches Viento A Favor features tunes written by Leonel García and Noel Schajris (better known as emotive Latin-pop duo Sin Bandera) and Mexican singer Reyli Barba. They're all taken to wuthering heights by Fernandez's stellar vocal range, which goes from hushed whispers to booming intensity. First single "Te Voy A Perder" is an epic romance, and "Amor Gitano", a duet with performer Beyoncé Knowles. Closing tune "Cuando Estamos Juntos" is another surprise, an acoustic-flavored ode to simple joy.
He has five children, (Alejandro, Jr. and the twins, América and Camila) with his ex-wife, Mexican América Guinart, and two (Emiliano and Valentina) with his now ex-girlfriend, Colombian model Ximena Díaz.

Alejandro Fernández Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Qué no haría un joven por sus sueños?
¿Qué no haría por quien me dio el abrigo
Cuando el alma se me vistió de invierno?
¿Qué no haría por quien se puso en medio
De las balas que apuntaban justo a mi corazón?
¿Qué no haría por quien supo mirarme con confianza,
No es acaso la mirada del amor?
Si el tesoro llegara a descubrir?
¿No son todas las preguntas que llevo...
-En el fondo- que te quiero seguir?
¿Qué descubre el que mira detrás de un
Simple gesto y descifra que es un signo de algo más?
¿Qué nos pasa si bebemos de la fuente escondida?
Va latiendo el corazón su identidad.
Todo por Amor, nunca imposición
Busca, siente, abre
Gana el corazón
Todo por Amor, nunca imposición
Busca, siente, abre
Gana el corazón
¿No confía con toda su sonrisa
Esa nieta que abraza a su abuela?
¿Y no busca el chico abandonado
-Cuando grita- a alguien que lo quiera?
Hoy derriba de a poco mis barreras
El saber que soy amado sin pedirme nada más
Y me abro, es el amor cruzando las fronteras
Que me encierran, hoy me viene a liberar
Todo por Amor, nunca imposición
Busca, siente, abre
Gana el corazón
Si tocás mi corazón, si lo abro para Vos
Si la fe me hace saltar, porque el miedo queda atrás
Si el ambiente por crear, se da en la libertad
Si tocás mi corazón, haré todo por amor
Todo por Amor, nunca imposición
Busca, siente, abre
Gana el corazón
Todo por Amor, nunca imposición
Busca, siente, abre
Gana el corazón
¿Qué no haría El Padre por sus hijos?
The lyrics of Alejandro Fernández's song A Pesar de Todo talk about the paradoxical nature of love. The singer talks about how he's attracted to certain characteristics like green eyes, big eyes, fair skin, and a cheerful nature, but the person he's in love with does not embody any of these traits. Instead, she has black eyes, small eyes, dark skin, and is not particularly joyful. Despite all these differences, the singer proclaims his love for her "a pesar de todo" (despite everything) because her unique qualities have captured his heart. He doesn't care what anyone says about their relationship, and he loves her for who she is, without any specific reason - just because he does.
The song highlights the idea that sometimes love defies logical explanation. It's not just about physical attraction, shared interests or matching characteristics. Sometimes, you can deeply love someone who is different from you in every way, and this is what makes the song so relatable. Love is complicated and strange, and this is why it can be so hard to describe.

Imee Guri
Lo intenté todo
Brindarte más, pedirte menos y a tu modo
Decir las cosas con cuidado y con arrojos
Quise adorarte, quise cuidarte.
Lo intenté todo
Hablar contigo y entenderte sin enojos
Ser tu guarida, tu silencio y tu cerrojo
Quise quererte y protegerte
Pero no más
Me grita el alma enfurecida de aguantar
Estar contigo es despedida sin final
Te vas y no te vas
Te das y no te das
Lo intenté todo
Lo intenté todo
Pero he perdido ya ese miedo de estar solo
Para perder lo que uno es
Hay que estar loco...
Yo no estoy loco
Pero no más
Me grita el alma enfurecida de aguantar
Estar contigo es despedida sin final
Te vas y no te vas
Te das y no te das
Pero no más
Me grita el alma enfurecida de aguantar
Estar contigo es despedida sin final
Te vas y no te vas
Te das y no te das
Lo intenté todo
Pero no más
Me grita el alma enfurecida de aguantar
Estar contigo es despedida sin final
Te vas y no te vas
Te das y no te das
Lo intenté todo
