Julio: 'The artist I like the most is my son Enrique'

The iconic Spanish artist Julio Iglesias - who is currently promoting his latest album of greatest hits, ' 1 - Greatest Hits'- has confessed that the singer likes his son Enrique, and his his first-born son, country singer Julio José Iglesias most in the current musical scene.

"[What I like the most is] my son Enrique, I love him. After Enrique, I like the music of my oldest son Julio José", replied Julio to the question about his favorite artist in an interview with Latina Magazine.

But despite this strong statement, that may have surprised many by the so-called bad relationships between the youngest of Iglesias and his father, the Madrid singer also highlighted the work of other young singers today.

"I like Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber, I think they are just phenomenal!", admitted the vocalist.

His taste for these artists could represent the image that he himself embodies for years: that of a sex symbol; a description that does not convince you because he considers his success with women is not more than the result of the "passion" that the singer feels towards his work.

"Thing of being a sex symbol is a nonsense. I love to sing, it is my passion. Anything else falls short in comparison. Passion is everything an artist, in fact it is what keeps me fresh and in form, which gives me life and helps me to continue later", explained the artist.

Julio knows that to compete in the music industry and continue to Captivate women as it did during its best years, it is important to keep in good physical shape, something that is very conscious.

"I am slim and try to keep in shape and healthy. I practise many sports, including swimming. But the most important thing in my life is my passion for music. Think of it this way: in the 70's and 80's, I was very young and yet my passion took me to sell millions of records all over the world."  It's honest.
