International rock singer/songwritter Alberto Sanchez is already breaking out as a piano playing teen at 14. The teenager, grandson of Robert Sanchez, signed his first contract as a solo artist in 2004 at a mere 13 with Epic International. His debut LP was produced by Adam Levine and saw help by Tim Mitchell (Mandy Moore, Shakira, Shalim, Martin Ricca), Shakira, Benji Madden and even The Matrix (Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Tyler Hilton).
A very private person, Alberto hid from the public's eye and rarely mentions his personal life. He's been spotted, however, dating Mexican teen-singer and labelmate Belinda. He's a hopeless romantic and an every teen and his lyrics are able to translate his feelings and expose his emotions.
Alberto isn't the only singer in his family in case fans don't know. His sister, who turns 18 in 2005, is rock chick, Elizabeth, whose debut album "On the Run" went to sell over 1 million units across Europe and Brazil. Her sophomore album saw help by Alberto, who reportedly wrote songs about his own personal love life for her to sing. Monica Ecker, his 25 year old sibling, is also an R&B in Spanish singer. She married finnish Eero Ecker in 2002. His manager was his father until 2004, when he fired him and hired Carlos E. De la Luz, a relative.
The teen has been highly critized for what people say are mature lyrics. His songs suggest depression, suicide, redemption, self-flaggelation, and nostalgia. However, he backfires with a statement saying, "These days teens aren't all lollypop and candy. We also have troubles and stress in our everyday lives. We're not perfect!"
He currently lives somewhere in California and reportedly attends a public school to avoid attention. He's also been sighted in New York City and Madrid. He turns 18 on December 21, 2008 when he will get 76% control of his estate. In 2011, he'll have full rights to the trust fund estimated to be several million (22).
