Music once again renewed its hold on him, reaffirming a passion that was already clear but now feels even more certain. The decision to try new things here reinforced not only the love for the craft but also the broader world that surrounds it—the people, the venues, and the constant spark of inspiration that a city like this can provide. In the span of a year, concerts became a near-daily routine, introductions were made to new artists, and every corner of the scene offered a moment of discovery. It is a reminder that creativity thrives where curiosity and community intersect.
Is this shift tied to the idea that one cannot rise in music if they are not based in Madrid?
Madrid often seems to wrestle with a virtue where many opportunities end up concentrated in a few places, yet the city’s remarkable musical diversity does not alone dictate success or failure. The truth is more nuanced. A living can be made in music outside Madrid, but the capital remains the hub of the industry, and over time, a project may feel compelled to make Madrid its center if it wants to scale to new heights.
You’ve just released a new single with a fresh style and sound. Was the aim to reach varied audiences before settling on a specific identity?
The shift in voice happened because it felt right, not to chase a larger audience. Previously, there wasn’t a single defined style, and the newer material retains the core essence of earlier work. Since moving, the artist has been recording independently, dedicating long hours to explore the world of sound and experiment with new approaches. The result is music that feels true to the moment, with the artist handling all instrumental parts and the resulting sounds feeling entirely personal.
With a team of exceptional music professionals helping shape the track La Mirada, could this collaboration signal a first step toward something greater in the future?
The focus remains on the future, and every choice is made with a willingness to push boundaries and explore new horizons. Through collaboration with Óscar (Varry Brava), Juanjo (Cycle), and Tony for La Mirada, the project built a network where shared tastes and clear goals connected people deeply to the work. Those involved are considered friends beyond music, and there is a strong belief that everything is aligning on a meaningful path. The commitment is to keep trying and to make it count.
Does the plan involve continuing to release singles for now, or is there material for a full album waiting in the wings?
Several songs were tracked in the studio with Óscar, Juanjo, and Tony, mirroring the approach used for La Mirada. A full album remains a future ambition, but the current strategy centers on singles and observing where the journey leads.
When facing a blank page during composition, where does the mind go musically and lyrically, and are there any boundaries set?
The process begins by selecting a chord progression that resonates, then crafting a melody from there. Lyrics follow as the last element. The guitar usually serves as the main instrument, though the piano or other rhythms may appear when they capture attention. Drums, synths, and additional guitars come into play as the first demo takes shape. The goal is to experiment with anything that might offer value, letting the most fitting style emerge from the creative flow rather than enforcing limits.
Now that a hometown concert in Orihuela is on the horizon, with audiences already familiar with live footage, is there a special preparation underway?
La Gramola, the place where the artist grew up, already gives this moment a unique significance. Seeing familiar faces return with the new material is a powerful motivator. The upcoming show is highly anticipated—a kind of return and a new beginning rolled into one. It represents a moment the artist has dreamed about for a long time. The mindset is focused, and there is a belief that the performance will be valuable, with a personal commitment to make it so. The idea is to offer something meaningful that resonates with the hometown crowd, while signaling that the journey has just begun.
