From Catalonia to the World: A Life in Music


Without realizing it, thanks to a piano and guitar I found at home, I began creating ​melodies. These melodies invited me to imagine stories and songs. At the age of 12, I ​started on a path that has never stopped. Growing up in a relatively small town of 12,000 ​inhabitants, with a large theater of two halls and a strong passion for theater, it was easy ​to get involved in various performing activities: theater, friendships, summer nights, and ​the local radio. This combination led me to participate in the most prominent contest of ​Catalan culture in the 90s. At 18, I won first prize in the singer-songwriter category. Six ​years later, I had already released two long plays and gained considerable recognition in ​Catalonia. All my repertoire was in my mother tongue, Catalan.


Curiosity to write in Spanish led me to take a trip to Havana, Cuba. For two months, after ​immersing myself in the city's musical art, especially singer-songwriters, I returned to ​Barcelona with the intention of recording a Latin pop album in Spanish. However, this ​project eventually took me to Miami. In the United States, I worked with several music ​publishers aiming to 'place songs' with internationally famous artists. Although my goal ​had never been to write and compose for other artists, I was good at it. During that period, ​I earned one BMI Latin Award, a Number One Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, a Telemundo ​Composer of the Year Award, and a Latin Grammy Nomination. I lived between Miami ​and Los Angeles from 2001 to 2007. During these years in the United States, I invested ​everything I could in producing my songs.


In 2007, I returned to Barcelona with a developing musical project: pan-European music, ​A conceptual music project of songs to embrace diversity. For 12 years, I lived in different ​cities: Barcelona, El Bruc, Luxembourg, Perpignan, and Magdeburg. I worked as a teacher ​of singing and interpretation, guitar, and songwriting in various public schools and private ​music academies. I recorded a few more albums, composed soundtracks for ​documentaries and films, and created jingles for radio, companies and public institutions. ​Together with Daniel Thürler, Alex Miralles, and Alfred Mosimann, I founded a pan-​European folk band. I sang acoustically always in all 4 languages I speak at different ​events in the cities where I lived and continued producing more songs.


In 2019, I returned to the United States after marrying my platonic love from Miami, ​whom I met in 2001. Recently, after collaborating with various writers and musicians in ​the Americana folk music genre, I adopted the persona of Barcelona Cowboy. Through this ​journey, I continue to pursue my long-standing dream of creating songs that uplift and ​promote diversity and peace.
