Chart topping pianist/composer/arranger Arthur Hanlon is the single most recognizable name in Latin instrumental music today. Although born in Detroit to Irish American parents, Hanlon has done what no one else has accomplished in Latin instrumental music.
The first and only pianist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Latin charts and the only instrumentalist signed to a major Latin label, Hanlon plays a distinctive blend of Detroit street, classical virtuosity and Latin fusion.
His credibility in the industry is evidenced by the star power of his upcoming solo album on Universal Latin Entertainment, "Sin Fronteras," a set of all-original compositions where Arthur joins forces with some of the top names in pop and rock music today, including Laura Pausini, Juanes, Ricardo Montaner, Luis Fonsi, Alexandre Pires, Myriam Hernandez and Sergio Vallín of Maná.
Eight artists, representing eight different countries, together in a unique, creative journey that marries piano to some of the most distinctive voices and instruments of this generation.
"Sin Fronteras" (No Borders), was produced by Arthur with Colombian arranger, composer, and also pianist Milton Salcedo, the man behind many of the hits by the likes of David Bisbal, Charlie Zaa and Alejandro Fernande, among others.
Arthur has collaborated with some of the biggest stars in Latin music, recording with trumpet virtuoso Arturo Sandoval, salsa star Tito Nieves and Mexican diva Ana Bárbara, who were all guest artists on his albums, and performing alongside Chayanne, Luis Fonis and Ricardo Montaner, among others.
A composer, performer and arranger, and a graduate of the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, Arthur was a multiple Billboard Latin Music Award finalist with his 2005 hit album "La Gorda Linda." His most recent recording, "Mecanomanía," was hailed by critics as one of the best releases of 2006.
