User:Juankey/Plácido Domingo Jr.

Plácido Domingo Jr., also known as Plácido and Plácido Jr., was born in 1965 in Mexico City, Mexico, son of tenor and philanthropist Plácido Domingo. Since age 3 he was exposed to the best voices and representatives of the operatic world, hence his passion for music.

He has written songs for artists like Michael Bolton, Riccardo Cocciante, Vanessa Williams, Sarah Brightman, Jose Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, Leona Mitchell, Diana Ross, Alejandro Fernández, Tony Bennett, and of course, Plácido Domingo.

He recently participated in the album "Amore Infinito" as executive producer, composer and singer. The album included verses by Pope John Paul II, performed by his father, which reached the top chart on Billboard Magazine's Top Classical Crossover Albums.

In 2010, together with SonicProjects Records, Plácido Domingo Jr. presented his international debut as a performer, joining his talent to that of Grammy award winner producer/engineer Juan Cristóbal Losada, with whom he created a Christmas EP called "Songs for Christmas/Canciones de Navidad" which was released on November 9th 2010, one day before his worldwide debut at the "Person of the Year" ceremony at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2010. It includes "My Grown-Up Christmas List", written by David Foster & Linda Thompson, a never before released adaptation of this song to the Spanish language by Plácido and Juan Cristóbal Losada, and a brand new version of the Puertorican Christmas classic "Villancico Yaucano".
