Born in Italy in 1974, Laura Pausini became interested in music at a young age with the support of her father, a musician. Little Laura, who accompanied her with her voice at the venues where her father performed at the age of 8, stepped into professionalism at the age of 13 with the album “I sogni di Laura” recorded under her father's production. The album was prepared entirely with the resources at hand. Therefore, it could not be expected to make a sound. The main success for Laura was the Sanremo Music Festival, which she attended in 1993 and sang the song “La Solitudine”. The artist, who came first in the competition, immediately attracted the attention of Warner Bros. Italy and introduced her first album, Laura Pausini, to the music world in 1993 with the record deal that followed. The album was a success in Italy as well as in France and the Netherlands.
Laura Pausini, who started her career in 1987 with her first album "I Sogni Di Laura" and won the first place she won at the Sanremo Music Festival (with the song "La solitudine") in 1993, selling a total of 30 million albums and winning a Grammy Awards. She is the first Italian female singer. The popular singer of Italy, who sings her songs in Latin pop, soft-rock and pop styles, makes songs in Italian, Spanish, English, French and Portuguese.
The second album “Laura” took its place on the shelves of music markets in 1994. The success of this album did not match the first one, so the record company offered Laura to sing her songs in Spanish. Thus, an album was prepared in 1994 consisting of Spanish versions of 10 songs selected from the first two albums. Laura Pausini's fame began to affect all Spanish-dominated countries. Since then, the artist has not neglected to record the Spanish versions of the albums he has released. Later, she sang some of her songs in English, Portuguese and French.
The artist's first English song attempt came to his hit song "La Solitudine". The song, which was recorded in English with the title "The Loneliness" in 1995, did not receive the expected attention. Laura, who could not make her voice heard in America until then, sang “One More Time” with Richard Marx in the soundtrack of the movie Message in a Bottle, starring Kevin Costner and Paul Newman, in 1999. In the same year, Luciano Pavarotti invited the artist to the annual “Pavarotti and Friends” concert and the duo sang an aria together. Pavarotti and Laura would reunite in 2003 for the same concert. In 2000, Laura also recorded the track "The Extra Mile" for another soundtrack work, Pokémon 2000: The Power of One.
The artist, who released her first English album in 2002 with the help of famous producers Parick Leonard and John Shanks, managed to reach number 1 on the Billboard dance chart with her first single from this album, “Surrender”. The Spanish version of the album “Resta In Ascolto” released in 2004 was nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards. Then she sang the song for a movie called La Madrastra. The artist, who received a Latin Grammy Award in 2005 and a Grammy Award in 2006, is the first to achieve this success. Italian woman became an artist.
The artist, who has sold 15 million copies and 35 platinum records in his 170-year career, made his fans happy once again with his latest album called “Io Canto”. The Spanish version of the album, which sold more than 2 million copies worldwide, was once again awarded the Latin Grammy Award. Pausini once again expressed his respect for the deceased artist by dedicating this award to the famous Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti.
