Ricky Martin came out as gay on March 29, 2010 writing on his website: "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."
He attended Sagrado Corazón School and was an average student. He participated in school extra-curricular activities and sang in the school choir, where he began to realize that his talent captivated the audiences. Through the encouragement of his father, he began to take voice lessons, and auditioned for television advertising spots.
Martin first achieved worldwide success with his selection to replace Ricky Melendez in the Latin boy band Menudo from 1984 until 1989. His meteoric ascent to fame started in Menudo's homebase, Caguas, site of his first concert. He signed with Sony in 1990.
After he left Menudo, he decided to continue his career. He moved to Mexico City where he started acting, first in theater in productions like Mamá ama el rock, and Los tenis Rojos with Angélica María and Angélica Vale. He starred in telenovelas such as Alcanzar una Estrella and performed in the music group Muñecos De Papel of that production. In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles, California. He received a role as bartender (Miguel Morez) in the American soap opera General Hospital.
Ricky established himself in Miami and connected with music creator Desmond Child, former Menudo band-mate Robi Draco Rosa and Puerto Rican agent Angelo Medina. With these 2 in tow, Ricky created hits like "María", "The Cup of Life", and "Livin' La Vida Loca". He sang "The Cup Of Life" during a World Cup broadcast that gave him worldwide exposure, but it was "Livin' La Vida Loca" which became a massive crossover hit, made him popular around the world and propelled him into the covers of Tiger Beat and many other major magazines worldwide.
One of Ricky's career high points was the recording of the Spanglish ballad "Cuidado" ("Be Careful") with Madonna and William Orbit. The original version was written with Patrick Leonard and the first demo remains just one of many unreleased Madonna songs.
Ricky was chosen, along with Félix Trinidad in 1999, to lead Puerto Rico's worldwide tourism campaign, both exemplifying Puerto Rico's youthfulness, enthusiasm and "never give up" character. In 2003, Martin announced that he and his agent, Angelo Medina, had parted ways. In February of 2004, Martin received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Premios Lo Nuestro in Miami.
Martin recently adopted three little girls from India. The Ricky Martin Foundation created a project called People For Children, which aims to eliminate the industry of sexual exploitation and trafficking of children worldwide. His first benefit was held in Mexico City on November 10, 2005.
On October 11, 2005 Martin came out with his first English language album since 2000's Sound Loaded and the tenth album of his career. Most of the songs on the album, called Life, were co-written by Martin. Martin feels that the album is one of his more personal albums, saying "I was really in touch with my emotions. I think this album is very multi-layered, just like life is. It's about feeling anger. It's about feeling joy. It's about feeling uncertainty. It's about cuping a feeling. It's about feeling. And all my emotions are part of this production." The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The first single of the album, "I Don't Care" (Spanish version: “Qué Más Da”), featuring Fat Joe and Amerie, was Ricky’s first single since 2003's “Tal Vez.” He plans to release his next single called Drop It On Me.
Ricky Martin performed at the 2006 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in Turin.

Yo vengo con cosas buenas para mi pueblo
Traigo amor traigo ese suero

Olvida los temores que el tiempo se nos va (mujer)
Pegate un poco mas
Y mueve esas caderas
Mamita cosa buena

Mueve tus caderas muchacha morena
Bailame ese ritmo con sabor a plena
Y hay una pesetita pasa vellonera
Para que te olvides de todas tus penas
Y esta noche quiero mas

"Pégate" is a song by the Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin, which was released in 2005. The song is a fusion of Latin pop and reggaeton and has a lively and uplifting beat. The lyrics of the song are all about letting go of your problems and dancing to the rhythm of the music. The song is an encouragement to everyone to come together and let loose, forgetting about their worries and embracing the beauty of life.
In the first verse, Ricky Martin talks about how he has come with good things for his people, including love and joy that can bring happiness to the world. He suggests that when we face heartaches and problems, dancing can help to ease the pain, as his mother once advised him.
The chorus urges people to move their bodies more, to forget about their fears, and to embrace life fully. The second verse, sung in Spanish, invites a brown-skinned girl to dance with him and forget all her troubles. The third verse is a call for everyone to come together and celebrate life and love, to forget about the negativity that can poison our hearts.
