What is Ricky Martin’s vocal range?
Ricky Martin's vocal range is commonly cited as B2 to C5 — about 2.1 octaves, or 25 semitones, and is usually classified as tenor. Full voice is cited up to around A4; everything above that comes from falsetto or head voice.
Grainy pop tenor with a short usable top; leans on rhythm, shouts and falsetto flips. That cited span is wider than 13% of the 357 voices in this library.

Reading the numbers
- The bottom of this range is unusually high for a tenor: 91% of the 127 tenors here are cited lower than B2.
- Full voice is cited to within 3 semitones of the top note, so this reads as a chest-dominant voice rather than one that flips into a lighter register.
- The ceiling is modest for a tenor — only 6 of the 127 tenors here stop lower.
- Only 8 of the 127 tenors here work a narrower cited span.
- 1 other voice here carries the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
