Angy’s musical journey began while her mother was still carrying her. Irene, Angy’s sister, recalls that their father used headphones on his stomach to share tunes. Dori González, Angy’s aunt who raised her from the age of two, introduced her to piano, while Ireneu guided her toward the Segarra School of Music when she was eleven, shaping the early chapters of a lifelong pursuit in the arts near the Son Oliva neighborhood where she grew up.
Her mother won’t be home this Saturday to watch the Benidorm Festival. She explains, “I could go, but I’d rather stay in Madrid to care for the dog and help Angy settle in. If I’m tense in front of the TV, she will be too.” The mother’s love and practical presence have always mattered deeply to Angy, and that support helps ease the nervous moments before performances.
Complete artist
Even though a place in the final eluded her, Angy’s family believes she has already triumphed in spirit. The semi-final was marked by genuine warmth, emotion, and resilience, a testament to her potential. Her family notes that the encouragement they’ve heard from friends and fans isn’t simply maternal pride; it reflects a shared conviction that she can pursue both music and acting. She continues to explore dance and stage presence as part of her evolving artistry. A true artist, her relatives say, is one who is complete in multiple disciplines.
Family members describe the traits that define Angy—strength, honesty, and charisma—qualities celebrated by Irene Fernández, who also sings and once reached a final on Tele 5 with her sister in a past competition, underscoring the value of close-knit support in shaping public performances.
During chats with her aunt Neus González about Angy’s chances at the Benidorm Fest, held this Friday at Josep Maria Llompart Secondary School, the conversation centers on a strong, festive identity. The aunt notes Angy’s stage presence—rock influences mingle with personal lyrics that feel deeply felt. They stay in touch via WhatsApp as offers pour in, yet the aunt remains hopeful but pragmatic, encouraging voters while acknowledging the competitive nature of the event.
family hobby
Being eleven years older, Irene remembers rocking Angy as a baby, singing lullabies taught by their mother. The family’s relationship with music runs deep. Their mother sang with the Agustinas choir of Pont d’Inca, their father played guitar and composed, and Angy and Irene performed as children with early electronic music players that reduced the volume of instrumental tracks while preserving the melodies they loved to create. These early experiments laid the groundwork for a lifelong musical journey.
Influences ranged from Christina Aguilera to the early editions of Operación Triunfo, and Angy later participated in the Camí de l’Èxit Junior in Majorca, finishing second. A pivotal moment came when a teacher at the Oliva school asked students to compose a piece for piano, a request that prompted Angy’s mother to enroll her in formal music lessons and set her on a path toward professional performance. Acting also drew her in—she pursued theater at school in Ses Voltes, took dance lessons at Top Dance, and trained under Álex Manga, the choreographer who would later help her shine at Benidorm Fest with the team. Even as adolescence brought opportunities in Factor X, where she became a finalist, she remained focused on pursuing opportunities in Madrid and beyond.
Though Angy stays rooted in her homeland and family, Neus Gonzalez laments that Mallorca hasn’t always had a stage for her to perform locally, noting it would be meaningful to see her featured in local festivals like Sant Sebastià. Still, thousands of Mallorcans will be watching as Angy takes the Benidorm Fest stage this Saturday, eager to see how her unique blend of music and storytelling translates to a national audience.
