From the bright lights of a talent show to the polished cadence of a newsroom, the journey of a 22-year-old journalist unfolded this Monday on TVE Navarra in the Foral Community of Navarra. Known to viewers for his versatility, he has been quietly building a remarkable path that threads music, media, and a steady climb through journalism. What many people might not know is the rich background behind this emerging reporter who first proved his vocal talents on a popular singing competition before stepping into the world of news reporting.
Her early spotlight came in 2015, when he was just 16 years old. On the blind auditions of a child of reality TV, his performance of The Story of My Life captivated the judges and earned him a place on the team led by a prominent coach. That moment marked the start of a long chapter devoted to both music and spectacle, as he advanced through rounds with a blend of confidence and vulnerability that resonated with audiences. During the competition, he attempted to claim victory with an ambitious duet approach to I Surrender, a power ballad made famous by Céline Dion, and Mirrors, a modern pop hit by Justin Timberlake. The experience also opened the door to a memorable collaboration, joining his coach in a duet of Angels, a song closely associated with Robbie Williams. The audience saw a performer who could move between emotional ballads and high-energy stage moments, a combination that foreshadowed a broader career path beyond the spotlight of the show.

Finishing in second place, the Navarra native began to fuse his passion for music with formal studies in journalism. He returned to the talent show in 2019, this time on the adult version broadcast by Antena 3, where coach Paul López guided him toward the direct stage and he pressed on, landing just shy of the final. The experience reinforced a belief in the power of performance as a vehicle for storytelling, an idea that would later inform his approach to news and on-screen presence. [Antena 3 Archive]
That same year, he released his debut single, Sin Quiero, marking a transition from competition stages to the music industry as a serious recording artist. The release was followed by a tour that brought him to multiple Spanish cities in collaboration with Europa FM, a partnership that helped him cultivate a broader audience while continuing to refine his craft. Throughout this period, he did not lose sight of his journalistic ambitions, maintaining a role as editor and reporter at TVE Navarra and contributing to coverage that connected viewers with the stories that mattered in their communities.

Recently, the milestone he perhaps dreamed about as a teenager came to fruition: this Monday, he took charge of the news for the first time. It was a moment he cherished and shared with viewers through Instagram, a sign of his growing confidence and the trust placed in him by colleagues and management alike. He expressed gratitude to his family, friends, and the many supporters who had watched him chase this dream since his school days, a candid reminder that even on a national stage, the roots of his ambition remain distinctly local. The moment was not just about a single broadcast; it was about a professional arc coming full circle, with journalism finally taking center stage in a career shaped by music, public speaking, and a steadfast commitment to informing the public.
