Cristian Castro (born Cristian Sanchez Castro on December 8, 1974 in Mexico City) is a Mexican pop singer. He is referred to as "Christian Castro", "Cristian", or "El Gallito Feliz" (The Happy Little Rooster).
He is the son of renowned actress and singer Vernica Castro and comedian Manuel "El Loco" Valdez. Castro also has a younger brother named Michell Castro, his uncle is Jos Alberto Castro and his aunt is Betty Sheridan, who both are producers. As a baby, he made his acting debut with her during the telenovela named El Derecho de Nacer. Soon after, he appeared on a television commercial with her, and on the Mexican version of the broadway show Mame alongside the prominent actress Silvia Pinal.
Castro uses his mother's last name because the man with whom Vernica Castro was in a relationship at the time she became pregnant with Cristian, Manuel "el loco" Valdz, has always had an icy relationship with his son. In fact, Valdez did not attend his son's 2003 wedding with a Paraguayan model. Another reason that he chooses to use his mother's last name is that he lists her as his number one idol in life.
Castro began his singing career in 1992 with the release of Agua Nueva. The album received mixed reviews because Castro's voice was said to be too high-pitched. After participating in various telenovelas and recording some albums as a teenager, Castro began his "internationalization" in 1993, starting with concerts in Puerto Rico. Castro dedicated a song to that country in his second album, Un Segundo En El Tiempo, titled "Puerto Rico" as a way of thanking the Puerto Rican public for supporting his career. He also modified his singing voice from the deep voice he employed in Agua Nueva to a softer one that he currently uses. His song, Nunca Voy A Olvidarte (I Will Never Forget You), launched his career. Castro became an international teen idol and sex symbol almost instantly after he began touring, and he began what has been a fructiferous international singing career. Cristian has also done voiceover theme songs for telenovelas such as La Mujer De Madera (The Woman of Wood), Angela, and Morelia. In 1994, Cristian released "El Camino Del Alma". The album hit, Maana, meaning Tomorrow, was an original song composed by Mexican singer, Juan Gabriel which was titled, Maana, Maana.
During the late 1990s, he dated an Argentine woman. The couple once was involved in a small scandal at Miami International Airport. As they arrived on this particular day, they were hounded by a reporter who, incidentally, has also had trouble with Alejandro Fernndez and Luis Miguel, among others. The reporter asked Cristian's girlfriend a personal question, and Cristian reacted by slapping him across the face. The incident, which was caught on camera, was shown on tabloid television shows several times.
In 1997, Castro left Fonovisa and began contract to BMG with the release of Lo Mejor De Mi. Famous Pianoist Raul DiBlasio did the piano work for the song, Despus De T...Qu? (After You...What?). The album was nominated "Best Latin Pop Album of the Year". Following the album's success, Castro has made duets with other singers such as Olga Tan, Grupo Limite, and Jos Alfredo Jimnez. Castro added the "h" to his first name at the release of his successful album, Mi Vida Sin Tu Amor in 1999 though "Christian Castro" is still not widely used as "Cristian Castro", in fact, he went back to his original artistic name his albums until 2004. In 2001, he released "Azul", which won "Best Latin Pop Album of the Year". After breaking up with his Argentinian girlfriend, Castro met a Paraguayan girl, Gabriela Bo, the daughter of a rich man. They were married in Asuncin in 2003.
Apart from the reporter-slapping scandal, Castro is known for his accessibility to fans, and it's not uncommon to see paparazzi photos showing him stopping to sign an autograph for a fan or taking pictures with them.
Shortly after his marriage to Gabriela Bo, Castro began to have marital problems. Bo returned to Paraguay, and Castro allegedly has been denied entry into that country by the Paraguayan immigration service. Rumors have spread about the reason of their split: some rumors point to him being homosexual; others say he had affairs with multiple women during his short marriage. Gabriela Bo used her fame as Cristian Castro's wife to promote her modeling career in Paraguay.
Castro divorced Bo, and four days later he married his Jewish Argentinian ex-girlfriend, Valeria Liberman, who is a lawyer. Castro had converted to Judaism during the wedding. His mother could not attend the wedding due to an accident on a circus where she fell down and had to stay in the hospital. Castro is said to be big fan of Jos Jos"El Principe de la cancion". In fact, he considers him as his artistic godfather as stated in an interview on Sabado Gigante. Castro even invited him to his wedding with Liberman as one of the first guests. Castro was later called "El Gallito" possibly from his song "Gallito Feliz" from either the song he sang as a child or on his album, "Amar Es". In 2005, he released Galltio Feliz, a collection of his childhood songs, and Das Felices with "Amor Eterno" as the album hit. In September 2006, he began conflicts with his mother. Veronica apparently did not approve of Castro's second marriage with Liberman and insisted he stayed with Bo due to Bo's career as a model. According to the official forums, he is due to make a new album in 2007 which will cover ranchera which is the first time Castro has made an album that is not pop.
