Draco Rosa - Biggest Career Moments | GRAMMYs

Latin GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Draco Rosa recently visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., to participate in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview. Rosa discussed his recent battle with cancer, greatest career moments and collaborating with some of Latin music's top artists on his new album, Vida, among other topics.
"There were days that I'd show up to the studio and I would walk through the door and went straight to the sofa because the [chemotherapy] is so exhausting," said Rosa. "But there were days when it was just the best thing ever. I was dancing and enjoying it, and living like never before."
Originally from Long Island, N.Y., Rosa moved to Puerto Rico as a child, and joined the popular Puerto Rican boy band Menudo in 1984. He garnered a GRAMMY nomination that same year for Best Latin Pop Performance for Menudo's Evolucion. After departing Menudo in 1987, Rosa relocated to Los Angeles in 1990 and formed Maggie's Dream. Rosa released his debut solo album, 1994's Frío, which was followed by Vagabundo (1996) and Songbirds & Roosters (1998). In 1999 he co-produced and co-wrote his former Menudo bandmate Ricky Martin's smash hit "Livin' La Vida Loca," which garnered three GRAMMY nominations, including Record Of The Year. In 2004 "Mas Y Mas," featured on 2004's Mad Love, garnered Rosa his first career Latin GRAMMY for Best Music Video.

This guy doesn't get enough credit. From Menudo to his written songs to his own music he is great. Ricky Martin gets all the credit as the only Menudo artist to succeed solo but what people forget that Draco wrote all his hits

[@TonyT007]

EXACTLY!!

[@introvert4everfreddy656]

He deserves all the success he was getting!✌️

[@QueenOtiot]

Robby, your music with Menudo was and still remains such a blessing for me and my youthful years. Such a magical time. My prayers are with you.

[@mariamatildecarrascomartin6479]

Que enorme tristeza y dolor hay en sus bellos ojos. Ser un guerrero,un valiente guerrero no es nada fácil. Le quiero mucho y le admiro Sr.Rosa. Le envío mil bendiciones ♥️🙏💐

[@misterbobby8913]

Yo estaba pensando lo mismo. Que bueno que alguien mas lo noto. Eres buena observadora. Creo que le ayudarua su alma y su espiritu a el, si denuncia al malvado edgardo diaz con Roy Rosello y Rauo Reyes.

[@TheColdrush22]

Draco is one of my favorite artists/humans ever. I absolutely love this guy.

[@bobbydigital3407]

This man is a LEGEND. His work is so emotional, so pure, i don't speak Spanish, but as a professional musician I feel his work, it touches my soul DEEPLY! Been playing piano for 35+yrs, I've performed worldwide and Robis work has been with me always, God bless you brother!
