His parents divorcit when he wis twa year auld and Martin spent hintle o his childhood shifting atween his faither's home in the suburb of Varsity Gardens and his paternal grandmither's hoose nearby. Martin haes twa maternal hauf-brithers, Fernando and Ángel Fernández, an twa paternal hauf-brithers, Eric an Daniel Martín, an a paternal hauf-sister Vanessa Martín. Martin haes Catalan (Spainyie) ancestry throu his maternal grandmither who wis born in Spain as well as Corsican ancestry throu his paternal grandmither.
Martin grew up in a Roman Catholic hame an wis a altar boy throuoot his bairnheid. He began singin at age sax, uisin firthen kitchen spoons as pretend microphones; he aften interpretit sangs bi Menudo as well as Inglis-leid rock groups sic as Led Zeppelin, Journey, an REO Speedwagon. His mither's side o the faimily wis muisically inclined and his maternal grandfaither wis a poet, which inspired young Martin tae write sangs. Martin later reflectit on his time spent wi his faimily as a bairn: "Every time I find myself in front of an audience, be it twenty people or one hundred thousand, once again I feel the energy that consumed me back at the family gatherings of my youth." Efter discoverin a newspaper advertisement aboot audeetions for commercials wi his faither, nine-year-auld Martin began appearin in Puerto Rican telly commercials for products sic as saft drinks, toothpaste, an fast-fuid restaurants. In a year an a hauf, he starred in eleiven commercials.
Menudo: 1984–89
Efter achievin a smaw amoont o fame in Puerto Rico for his wirk in telly commercials, Martin auditioned for membership in Puerto Rican boy baund Menudo. Awtho the executives enjoyed his dancin an singin at his first twa audeetions, Martin wis rejectit acause he wis too short. Bi the third audeetion, his persistence impressed executives an in 1984, thirteen-year-auld Martin became a member. A month efter joinin Menudo, he made his debut performance wi the group at the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center in San Juan. Durin this performance, he inadvertently disobeyed the choreografie bi walkin aroond the stage when it wis planned that he wad stay still, an wis chastisit bi the baund manager efter the show: "The mistake wis such a big deal that frae that moment on, niver again did A muive when A wisna supposed tae muive...That wis the discipline o Menudo: You either did things the wey you wur tauld or you wur no pairt o the group." The sang "Asignatura Pendiente" frae Almas del Silencio (2003) wis inspired bi the first time Martin left Puerto Rico tae tour wi Menudo.

Menudo: 1984–89
Awtho Martin enjoyed travelin an performin onstage wi Menudo, he foond the baund's busy schedule an strict managin tae be exhaustin an later reflectit that the experience "cost" him his bairnheid. He considered leavin the group while on tour in Brazil, but ultimately decidit tae stay oot o fear o media backlash an bein sued for breach o contract. Martin began strugglin wi his sexuality an aw, notin the stark contrast atween his status as a sex seembol an his awn emotions. Despite this, Martin acknawledgit his "opportunity tae hae so mony amazin experiences wi so mony amazin fowk" durin his time wi the group. He developit an interest in filanthropy when the group became UNICEF ambassadors, aften wirkin wi impoverished childer in third warld kintras.

Menudo: 1984–89
Efter recordin eleiven albums wi the group, Martin left Menudo in Julie 1989 at age seiventeen, howpin tae rest an evaluate his career path. He performed his feenal show wi the group at the same venue as his first performance as a member. Martin returned tae Puerto Rico tae graduate frae heich schuil, an thirteen days efter turnin aichteen, he muivit tae New York Ceety tae celebrate his financial unthirldom; syne he wis a minor durin his time as a member o Menudo, Martin wis no allouit tae access his awn bank accoonts. He wis acceptit intae New York Varsity's Tisch School of the Arts, but months afore clesses began, Martin droppit oot an muivit tae Mexico Ceety tae perform in the play Mama Ama el Rock.
Actin an first twa solo albums: 1991–1994
While he wis performin in onstage in Mama Ama el Rock, a producer in the audience teuk notice o Martin's actin an affered him a role in the Mexican telenovela Alcanzar una estrella efter the show.

A film based on the TV series entitled Más que alcanzar una estrella wis producit an aw in which Martin starred an earned a El Heraldo Award in 1993 for his role. The show centred aroond a feectional muisical group cried Muñecos de Papel in which Martin played Pablo Loredo, ane o the sax members; the group toured several ceeties in Mexico an recordit twa albums. Awtho he haed howpit tae tak a break frae tourin efter Menudo, Martin enjoyed the experience acause he got alang wi the ither members well.
In 1990, Martin wis signed to Sony Discos, the Sony Music Entertainment's Latin imprint. Eager tae mak his first solo album, Martin signed the contract athoot readin it an inadvertently signed a deal in which he wad anerly be awairdit ane cent o ryalties for each album sauld. Despite viewin the contract as unfair, Martin referred tae the record as "the stairt o something phenomenal" for him. Efter wirking "aroond the clock" tae feenish filmin Alcanzar una estrella II an recordin muisic, Martin released his debut solo album, the Spainyie-leid Ricky Martin, in November 1991. Ricky Martin includit the singles: "Fuego Contra Fuego" an "El Amor de Mi Vida". "Fuego Contra Fuego" wis certifee'd Gowd in Mexico, Argentinae, Puerto Rico, an the Unitit States.

Efter the success o Ricky Martin an its subsequent tour, Martin's record company met him wi acclaimi producer Juan Carlos Calderón on his seicon solo album, Me Amarás. Awtho Martin felt "very grateful" for the opportunity tae wirk wi Calderón, he notit, "I always felt that that record was more his than mine." Released in Mey 1993, Me Amarás features a Spainyie-leid civer o the Laura Branigan sang "Self Control", titled "Que Dia Es Hoy". In his review, Alex Henderson o AllMusic wrote, "The CD isn't without its pleasures...but on the whole, Me Amarás is too glossy, too calculated, and much too contrived for its own good."
In 1994, Martin's agent encouragi him tae muive tae Los Angeles tae act in a American sitcom cried Getting By. The show wis canceled efter twa series, but suin efter, Martin wis gien the role o sangster/bartender Miguel Morez on the soap opera General Hospital.

At the time, it wis relatively uncommon for Hispanic fowk tae appear on American telly, an fowk suggestit that he tak accent reduction clesses, which he refused. It wis this time, housomeivver, that Martin began his first committi relationship wi a man. He "stoppit fearin his sexuality", an suin came oot tae his mither, who wis supportive o him. Housomeivver, efter the relationship endit, Martin "lockit [his] feelins even deeper inside", an began datin weemen again. He recried, "I already felt it was hard to be a Latino in Hollywood; what could have been more difficult than being Latino and gay?"
A Medio Vivir, Vuelve, an breakthrou: 1995–1998
In 1995, Martin refocused on his muisic career, an began wirk on his third album, A Medio Vivir. The first single, the ballad "Te Extraño, Te Olvido, Te Amo", wis reminiscent o his earlier wirk. Wi the sang, Martin furthered his expansion frae Laitin American an Spainyie-speakin audiences tae the European an Asie mercats. Housomeivver, the record made a shift frae his tradeetional ballad-style compositions tae a mair risky fusion o muisic centred aroond tradeetional Latin soonds an aw, epitomisit bi the sang "Maria". Taken aback bi the starkly different muisical style, record label executives felt that the sang wad ruin Martin's career. Despite this, "Maria" wis chosen as the album's seicont single, an became a breakthrou hit, reachin nummer ane in Fraunce, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Swisserland, Finland, Italy, Turkey, an the entire continent o Sooth Americae.
