Alvaro Soler

Spain

Álvaro Soler is a talented figure in Latin pop, known for his catchy melodies and vibrant sound. Born in Barcelona to a Spanish-German family, Soler spent much of his childhood in Japan, an experience that shaped his multicultural perspective. After returning to Spain, he began his music career by forming a band with his brother and friends, gaining early attention on the Spanish talent show ¡Tú sí que vales!.


His breakthrough came in 2015 with the release of "El Mismo Sol", an infectious track that became a hit across Europe and Latin America. The success of the single led to a collaboration with Jennifer Lopez on a duet version of the song, helping him gain further exposure in new markets. His debut album, Eterno Agosto, followed the success of "El Mismo Sol" with the release of other popular singles, "Sofía" and "Libre". The album's success earned him a strong following, particularly in Italy, where he later became a judge on the Italian X Factor.


Soler’s growing recognition in the music industry led him to be featured on the Despicable Me 3 soundtrack, collaborating with Colombian band Morat on "Yo Contigo, Tú Conmigo". In addition to this high-profile international breakthrough, he has worked with notable names in the music industry, including Flo Rida and Daddy Yankee, broadening his appeal and showcasing his versatility in blending genres.


Following the success of his debut album and the Despicable Me 3 soundtrack, Álvaro Soler released his second album, Mar de Colores, which was full of upbeat, feel-good songs. The album brought him further success with hit singles "La Cintura" and "Loca".


Beyond his musical exploits (and stints in reality TV), Álvaro Soler has a unique appeal as he is fluent in seven languages: Spanish, Catalan, German, French, Italian, English, and Japanese. This linguistic versatility helps him attract a wide range of fans and gives his music a distinctive fusion of sounds and genres. All of this makes him one of the most exciting artists to watch in the world of Latin pop.
