Because it’s the second fourth edition’wosora arnelas (Cáceres, 1982) does not stop. His music career, with which he added a new ‘single’, “Appointment” and soon another “Bottle”accompanies him in television projects. like competitions ‘Dancing!‘ (this won); ‘Your face looks familiar to me’ (third place) and ‘Famous Baking’(fifth). Between May and July his professional projects were crowded (King King, Eurovision final, touring…) and personal: your wedding. He quotes us at Café Europa, which is very typical for a ‘eurofan’ who is part of Eurovision history.

‘Rendezvous’ is a hymn to optimism. We need it.

It invites you to enjoy life. The meaning of music is that people make your songs soundtrack. Because it’s therapeutic. I have a soundtrack and they chose me as their…

The ‘second part’ is very different. And it looks stunning aesthetics.

This is a reference to my electronic music, because I still have an audience that wants dance music more than I do. And the ‘look’ is very strong, groundbreaking… Those who liked the image loved it. I listen to my people a lot. I asked them about this year’s tour. And for my Eurovision project in 2009, I met in Barcelona and Madrid to listen to them.

That song talks about heartbreak. There is nothing about his life.

Not all songs revolve around our personal experiences. ‘Part two’ wasn’t my story because thank God I’m with my wife.

Does that mean you won’t be making a ‘beef’ like Shakira?

Throughout my career, I have always avoided sharing personal matters. There are things that need to stay at home because they’re not getting me anywhere. I believe in attraction, so I put happy things in my nets.

First date, on the 6th: He will sing in the King’s Cup final.

I like to think of it as a Superbowl. It’s an honor that they trust me. And I will be very happy if my team wins.

Second date, on the 13th: she will sing in the Eurovision final.

I will be working that night and sending all my energy to Blanca Paloma. All my expectations are from him. She looks like a charming woman to me, she. She believes very much in her project and convinces those around her. I know they have surprises for us for the final.

“Blanca Paloma believes a lot in her project and convinces those around her”

You will sing with Vicco, one of the favorites of Benidorm Fest.

At Benidorm Fest I told him “You knew we were going to see a lot of each other this summer”. His song is a great theme and fell a lot. And I love that it happens because people should give Eurovision the importance it has. Vicco did not win, but was one of the most recruited. This is the real prize.

This is a great showcase.

Yes, and I’m glad that more and more professional singers are willing to participate. Because there was a time when it wasn’t. In 2009 I realized that this is a winning bet. Because they’re all hired. Eurovision is one of the best musical showcases in our country for career building. By the way, as much as a returning ‘OT’.

to Amazon Prime Video. I had to go back, didn’t I?

Yes, many boys who want to devote themselves to music have the will and need to live their dream once again.

Is an artist more than just a good voice?

Yes, there is something magical that is not ‘marketing’, that is not imposed, and when an artist has it, it shows.

It’s in everything that smells like Eurovision. Is he a Eurovision icon?

I am a Eurofan. And I am the date of Eurovision. I represented my country, it makes me proud. But the festival always catches me at work. He called me to air the TVE finale last year, but I was working. And this is it.

What is your favourite?

Apart from Spain, I personally love Switzerland, Estonia and Austria. But the pro tells me that Finland, Sweden and Israel will be tough contenders for Blanca Paloma, who is sure to make the top 5.

Sureyya is the guest of ‘talent’ ‘Race Drag Spain’. ATRESMEDIA

He is a Eurovisive and LGTBI+ icon. He brought the two worlds together in the ‘Drag Race Spain’ contest, which he participated in Eurovision as a guest.

I had a great time, because if there’s a super creative and magical world, it’s the world of ‘immersives’. I analyze them in detail because they often set trends. They are very brave when it comes to betting on new ‘looks’. And if anyone likes to take risks, it’s me…

“I already realized in 2009 that Eurovision is a winning bet for a singer”

Despite its positivism, social networks can pull it out of the box. I recently responded to the accusation of defying the LGTBIQ+ collective with a tweet.

It’s just not compatible with Sureyya to go against the community. There are people who have gone through a civil war and see nets as their garbage dump. I allow him to comment on my projects but not lies. You can’t let a snowball roll. Writing a shitty tweet about a person is not freedom. There are people who are wrong and think that networks are the way out of their problems. I am sad sometimes.

It pains them that I am successful and have a wonderful family. Meanwhile, his daughter Manuela is featured in the music video for ‘La cita’. Do you want me to follow in your footsteps?

What he wants is to write a book. with 6 years. Maybe that makes him a screenwriter or film director… Art is in his blood. I would be surprised if he told me that one day he wanted to be a mathematician.

Another appointment in July: the wedding.

I was getting married two years ago but due to the pandemic we had to cancel it. The decision came after my father had done some colon tests and I was scared. And I thought: now that we’re all here, let’s have a celebration. With what I want to marry now as I have been with my wife for 11 years and have two daughters. there is much to celebrate.

Unlike other singers, he soon saw the potential of television.

For an artist, TV is a challenge if he knows how to communicate when he wants it. I was born into a program and always felt comfortable. However, depending on which I like to go or I don’t. I would like to own myself. A music program.

Do you have anything in mind?

I want to do something on TV from my country: Extremadura. Because it’s nice to start at the bottom and means less nerves.

He participated in various competitions. ‘Masterchef’ and ‘Survivors’ remained.

These are no. Too much stress. Competition is horrible to my body. I’m just competing with myself. There are also many disagreements and I don’t want bad feelings.

Is the comment still a thorn?

When I was shooting ‘La bola dorada’, the challenge was already met. Although most people see me in ‘acting’. You know what I want? Design clothes. I have made a set of shoes and now my dream is to create a collection of party dresses.

Start with the bride.

Yes, with Lorena Formoso. My shoes and wedding rings are mine too.

Another date: tour.

It kicks off in Madrid this May. I’m not going on a honeymoon. And on the 11th, I will be singing in Barcelona with the Gay Men’s Choir, a choir of about 20 in Condal. Another challenge. And for the summer I released a ‘single’, ‘La botella’, full 2000s and superbailongo.
