Have you always desired a singing career
The subject admits a long-held dream of singing, tempered by the belief that vocal talent did not come naturally. This led to a deliberate focus on theatre studies. In Granada, the person behind the public persona felt themselves more suited to backstage roles, a reality that made Waves’ ascent feel paradoxically ironic.
Was the recent success a form of revenge
Not at all. Impostor syndrome lingered, and it kept the celebratory moment distant. The premiere was missed, with a small team retreating to a hotel to share a quiet, work-in-progress celebration over simple food and late-night TV. The feeling resembles a modern-day Hannah Montana moment, where a wig and a public persona mask a different, more private self.
So, a character was created
Indeed. The person does not identify with the video clips or interviews seen by the world. That figure was crafted as a survivor, a stronger shield for a highly sensitive individual who needed an avatar to endure the spotlight and protect their inner self.
With her EP ‘La Leona’ completed, the forthcoming full-length album titled ‘A los Hombres que I had to forget’ raises questions about its form. Is it a curated collection or a cohesive work
During the process, the artist revisited a tribute approach, improvising a version of a familiar song for a dear collaborator. This evolved into a broader concept: an album honoring musical influences such as Amy Winehouse, The Ronettes, Janis Joplin, and Jeanette. A period of acting work and a global health crisis interrupted momentum, yet a new track titled ‘You’ll regret it’ emerged, guiding the project toward a timeless, enduring sound rather than a fleeting moment. This record aims to endure beyond trends.
Musically, the project leans toward acoustic and collective arrangements, infusing Latin cadences with romantic vocal lines and touches of rhythm and blues.
Violins, electric and classical guitars, and piano define a largely organic sonic palette, with no electronic elements dominating the sound. The approach remains grounded in traditional instruments and warm textures.
Its video features Rossy de Palma and nods to the theme of toxic relationships. The songs explore emotional dependencies and the fear of losing someone important. In the studio, the process was emotionally intense, with moments of doubt and catharsis, ultimately powering a determination to complete the record despite personal turmoil. The artist describes a painful but transformative journey through heartbreak.
The public discourse around the subject has included criticism during a period of controversy on social media, notably around a recent trans rights policy. Clarifications were offered afterward, highlighting the pressure of living under constant public scrutiny while maintaining personal authenticity.
Following the controversy, the artist chose not to elaborate further on political matters, signaling a preference to keep focus on music and personal journeys rather than activism. The stance remains: they value creative work and personal freedom over public activism in a crowded discourse.
Did the public perception ever threaten a sense of identity, given the relentless scrutiny?
The experience remains challenging, with occasional vertigo when questions drift far from artistic work. The public often sees a constructed image that overshadows private life, a dynamic partly of the artist’s own making and partly a consequence of media attention. Responsibility lies with both the public and the individual for preserving a balanced self.
What about the idea of projecting a personal life into fame?
The image crafted around appearance and narratives can blur lines between private life and stage presence. Sharing personal details can draw people to performances, where the primary expectation is a compelling performance rather than a perfect personal life. The paradox is that public curiosity can coexist with genuine audience engagement in a live setting.
Is there ambition for a long-term singing career
The goal is a durable career that allows for a meaningful life beyond the spotlight. Long-term plans include retiring from public life while pursuing specific projects in Andalusia, building a home, and perhaps starting a family. Mental health and personal well-being are important in this vision, as is the freedom to explore individual happiness outside the industry pressures. When retirement feels possible, the reasoning behind everything becomes clear, implying that the current pace feels like a confinement that could be eased with time and choice.
That outlook might sound stark to some, yet it reflects a sincere devotion to artistic work and personal life. The priority is to continue acting and writing while navigating negative noise, not letting it define the professional path or personal worth. A grounded sense of purpose remains central to the journey.
