Beginning withhis self-titled debut album in 1992, Fern¡ndez followed in thefootsteps of his father, performing traditional Mexican music of theJalisco region such as mariachi. While this phase of Fern¡ndez's career -- which included thealbums Alejandro Fernandez (1992), Piel de Niña(1993), GrandesExitos a la Manera de Alejandro Fernandez(1994), Que Seas MuyFeliz (1995), and Muy Dentro de Mi Corazón (1996), all of whichwere produced by Pedro Ramirez --spawned a steady series of hitsingles, his career skyrocketed to new heights of success with the1997 release of Me Estoy Enamorando. Produced by Emilio Estefan,Jr. and Kike Santander --far and away the preeminent Latin popproduction team of the era -- the album marked Fern¡ndez'scrossoverinto the realm of mainstream pop. Not only did Me EstoyEnamorandoitselftop Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, it alsospawned four Hot Latin Tracks chart-toppers with "SiTú Supieras,"En el Jardín" (a duet with Gloria Estefan), "No SÃé Olvidar," and "YoNací Para Amarte." As if to reassure his fan base that he hadn'tabandoned his roots, Fern¡ndez reunited with longtime producerPedro Ramirez in 1999 and returned to ranchera music on MiVerdad before collaborating once again with Estefan andSantanderon another pop-oriented chart-topper, Entre Tus Brazosin 2000.In subsequent years, Fern¡ndez continued to alternatebetween traditional albums ofranchera music (Origenes, 2001;Niña, Amada Mia, 2003) and those oriented toward contemporaryLatin pop (A Corazón Abierto,2004; Viento a Favor, 2007).Inaddition, he began regularlyreleasing live-in-concert albums (UnCanto de México, 2002; En Vivo: Juntos por Ultima Vez,2003;México-Madrid: En DirectoySin Escalas,2005)and also releasedhis first greatest-hits collection,15 Años de Éxitos(2008). Following the end of his seven-album contract with Sony,Fern¡ndez left the label and signed to Fonovisa. Sonythen tried torelease an album of his previouslyunreleased tracks. Fern¡ndezsued, and 6,000 copies ofthe album were seized by police.In2009, under his newlabel, he launched an ambitious project calledDos Mundos, which consisted oftwo separate albums, Evoluciónand Tradición, released on the same day; the former was moreLatin pop,thelatter traditional ranchera and mariachi music.(Predictably, Evolución fared slightly better on the pop charts,although both albums were hits.) He then took the new music ontour, resulting in the live album Dos Mundos: Revolución (2010) Fernández began recording again in 2012, working in Los Angeleswith producer Phil Ramone.The resulting album, Confidencias,included duets with Christina Aguilera on "Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti.Rod Stewart on "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Qut,and most poetically, his father, Vicente, on "Me OlvidÃé de Vivir"Released in July 2013, the album hit the top of the charts in Mexiccand Spain and continued to chart for over a year.
