industry presence since the launch of her career on the show's

Martínez relocated the Bronx at a young age. She showed musical
promise early on, gaining valuable performance experience singing
at community events. Working as a music teacher, Martínez directed
a school chorus that performed regionally called Los Cumbiancheros.
The ensemble tackled repertoire representing a wide stylistic
variety, foreshadowing Martínez recording career that would come be
characterized by her versatility. In 2005 Anaís distinguished
herself amongst her fellow competitors on Objetivo Fama with her
striking appearance and commanding performances. Her debut record
followed shortly thereafter, released in April of 2006. Entitled
Asi Soy Yo, the record peaked at number 79 on Billboard's Hot 100.
The "Asi Soy Yo Tour" was launched in September of that year,
selling out auditoriums throughout Puerto Rico. The record also
garnered the Anaís a host of award nominations, including the Latin
Grammy's "Best Pop Album" and Lo Nuestro's "Best New Artist." The
song "Arriba, Arriba" was released as Univision's Fifa World Cup
Soccer anthem for '06 featuring Anaís performing alongside artists
Ana Bárbara, Pablo Montero and Marian Seoane. The single brought
Anaís widespread fame, announcing her as a rising star in Latino
music. Con Todo mi Corazón was released in January of 2007,
climbing the charts with the hit single "Tu Amor noes Garantía."
The album placed at number 20 on Billboard's Latin Pop charts. ~
