The singer who began his music career in Mallorca speaks with a confident tone about his chances to win the MTV award for best Spanish artist at the European Music Awards. The category also features Lola Índigo, Quevedo, Abraham Mateo, and Álvaro de Luna in a lineup that many fans are watching closely.
Are you still partying?
He is spotted at a favorite Madrid restaurant, sharing a quiet lunch with his daughter Gema. They enjoy familiar dishes, savoring the moment in a setting of calm and privacy. The moment feels earned, a reward for the hard work of the country’s leading communications figure and the artist himself.
Could you sleep?
Sleep came late that night, a hint of madness in the schedule. Still, rest found its way in, and there is a sense of lifelong resilience that keeps him grounded from childhood through adulthood.
How does it feel to hold a crown as coveted as MTV’s?
A strong self belief carried him through. The victory tasted sweet, and the public reaction, whether celebratory or critical, added a layer of satisfaction. The dynamic of opposition only amplified the sense of achievement.
Did you always know that yours was the right path?
Doubt plays its part, too. Self-respect means allowing room for error and accepting that perfection is not guaranteed. There are moments of wondering if the own evaluation is accurate. Yet this reflection helps him shed worry and press forward, embracing a road that is sometimes smooth, sometimes rough, but always fueled by confidence.
He grew up watching MTV in Magaluf.
Waking early for school, the artist recalls tuning into video clips first thing, a daily ritual that mixed indie and underground scenes with a memorable breakfast routine.
My favorite moment of the day was having breakfast with MTV videos, the most indie, the most underground
Who were your first heroes?
Lady Gaga has long served as a pivotal figure in his view of music and art, a benchmark for creativity and performance.
If you weren’t Samantha Hudson and you had kids, would you let your kids date Samantha Hudson?
Yes, absolutely. Family is central. Countless messages from fans reinforce a sense of connection, and the singer’s underground reputation sits alongside a warm, protective instinct toward loved ones. He would also be a trusted friend to any child of his own.
He saluted his minorities in his vote of thanks. Who are they?
Dissidents, neurodivergent individuals, supporters from diverse backgrounds, and groups often underrepresented in mainstream stages. The message honors the vivid mix of cultural, ethnic, gender, and sexual identities that form the artist’s audience.
The award coincides with the release of a new album defining AOVE Black Label.
The sound shifts toward a more electronic, confident production, with a broader club culture influence. It marks a bold artistic turn toward a polished and adventurous sonic approach that embraces automation and rhythm in a way that feels modern and fearless.
My sound is now much more electronic, much more raver, completely machine music, club culture, parkineo…
Is sound your only addiction?
Sound keeps him energized, but he also prioritizes nutrition and fitness to sustain the demanding pace of performances and projects.
Have you already been congratulated by rivals Lola Índigo, Quevedo, Abraham Mateo, and Álvaro de Luna?
There has been no formal update yet, but anticipation among all involved is high and mutual excitement is clear.
The biggest winner of this edition was Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift is admired for taking a public stance on controversial issues and for managing to endure the music industry’s storms. Her ability to reclaim control of her catalog and lead ambitious tours is noted as a standout achievement in recent years, a benchmark for artist autonomy and resilience.
Is there a marketing army behind the Samantha phenomenon?
Not really. The team is small, with Gema and the support of Subterfuge Records, an independent label. Despite fewer resources, the artist continues to push as an ambassador for the underground within mainstream curves, challenging larger campaigns and proving that impact can come from a lean operation.
Elvis’ pelvic thrusts are a joke compared to contortionist exercises.
A light-hearted aside aside, considerable effort goes into performances and music. The artist remains committed to growth, believing the stage is a natural habitat where life itself is performed.
Is provocation an essential part of any art?
Art thrives on provocation, yet it must be handled with artistry. Navigating controversy with skill is a core talent that helps sustain momentum and reach.
The no taxis thing feels Mallorcan yet Madrid and Barcelona also echo it
In one of the new songs, there is a line about taxis and a city. Did that come from Mallorca?
The no taxis sentiment reads Mallorcan but also mirrors Madrid and Barcelona. It speaks to a universal feeling that translates across cities.
Mallorca does not appear on tour dates.
Returning to one’s roots remains important, even when tour schedules pull in different directions. The desire to sing to the home crowd endures, and the hope is to reconcile the bond with Mallorca with new opportunities elsewhere.
Why move from Mallorca to Madrid, your current home base?
The move was motivated by the need for greater professional opportunities and the challenge of reaching a bigger audience in a bustling city. It offers more possibilities for artistic exploration and growth.
Valtònyc is back in Mallorca, with some labeling him as controversial as a microphone wielding figure.
The use of the term terrorist is excessive and means little in real discourse. The conversation should focus on music and its power to provoke thought rather than labels.
Could there be a ministry in music for this artist?
If such a ministry existed, it would likely be one about sex and rock and roll, a playful nod to the themes he embraces in his art.
What about the constitution and public reaction on social media?
The artist does not claim injury to constitutional principles. He believes the focus should remain on culture and the conversations that art sparks, inviting broader dialogue rather than stoking division.
Would you perform in a palace such as Zarzuela?
If asked, the decision would depend on the terms of the engagement and the opportunity presented, along with a clear understanding of the event’s nature and scale.
What if such an invitation arrives?
Acceptance would hinge on a detailed brief and a substantial honorarium that reflects the platform and its expectations.
