for his Sony Music Synco Label as a new generation Three Tenors-style quartet delivering covers of songs halfway between opera and pop. Immaculately turned out in largely Giorgio Armani suits, the groups singers came from over the world: Urs Bühler was a Swiss tenor, Marín a Germany-born Spaniard, David Miller an American tenor, Sébastien Izambard a French pop singer.
Delivering songs in English , Spanish , Italian , French and even Japanese and Latin , the group released 10 studio albums between 2004’s “Il Divo” and this year’s “Once in My Life: A Celebration of Motown,” as well as a compilation, 2012’s “Greatest Hits.” Marín had already met with considerable success before joining Il Divo, recording his first record, “El pequeño Caruso,” at the age of eight, singing with Montserrat Caballé and performing in stage productions including “Les Misérables,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Grease.”
He was married to the French-born singer Geraldine Larrosa – known by her stage name Innocence – until 2009. He also released a solo album, “Portrait,” in 2020.
