Bio

I am the son of Mary and Jesus
The one from Alcalá and the one from Algeciras
I am the youngest of two
My older brother from August
December 18, me

I was always introverted
I was afraid, I was gone
I liked poetry, flamenco, and my own light
I didn't have many friends, it wasn't because I was self-centered
It was because I was more attracted to what was inside
What I had hidden

I played sometimes in the neighborhood, to not seem strange
But I didn't fit well with the bad ones
Who ruled in the outskirts
I always saw myself as weird, I felt sorry to go out in class
On the blackboard, anyone made me feel small by mocking
I wanted guitar and sound
But in the desk under the sun with my partner
I played at being the coolest
I was chubby and he was skinny

At school, I acted tough
Thinking that way they wouldn't hit me anymore
But I took them on the street
And in the heart and in the stairwells

I wanted guitar and sound
But in the desk under the sun with my partner
I played at being the coolest

My father played in a band
My mother fought at home
How many times did I see her crying because she was losing the battle?
And when her helplessness exploded
It pierced my soul
And my ribs with those silver screams

Don't get me wrong, my mother was a lifesaver
And my father, even though he was absent, also fought for life

I didn't like soccer
I asked to be the goalkeeper in my imaginary stage
I always won six-zero

We went through tough times
But we had guts
To win against time a little piece of heaven

Life noticed me and I started dreaming big
After all, to stay the same
I already had a bleeding lip
I didn't believe in miracles
Or that I could achieve it
Besides, there were already people throwing water at you by the bucket

But I insisted in a way
That still leaves me frozen today
I didn't want anything
But I searched for it by swimming
I knew that music was
What would pull me out of the mud
As if it were the ring
That guy called Frodo was looking for

And suddenly I found myself getting on a stage
People I didn't know, singing my little songs
And I decided to thank, always do what's in my power
To thank life for such a gift

I have been dedicated to this dream for 30 years now
That started as a commitment, illusion, choice, and longing
And that's me, summarizing, since I can remember
I'm not trying to deceive anyone, just writing my song

In the midst of so much lie
You don't know how much I appreciate
The breath of truth that spins
Around you I wake up
Now that everything is appearance
I value in its right measure
The authenticity of your presence
In the dawn of my life
