I started writing my own songs at the age of 13. Since at the time I wasn’t able to play any instruments and I could barely sing, I just used to scream some lyrics in catalan (my native tongue) and beat a plastic box with my hands to provide some rhythm. One year later I started taking guitar lessons, but as you can hear in my recordings, I never learned that much. But who cared: I was a punk rocker (and I still am, if you consider punk to be something else than just wearing a spiked dog collar and a bunch of safety pins). Some years later I started song writing again and in 2005 I recorded my first demo. That same year I met Joie Blaney from the band Dead Blonde Girlfriend, who introduced me to the New York City antifolk scene, which would become one of my hugest influences.
In early 2006 I played the Sidewalk Cafe in New York City’s East Village and, one year later, I opened two nights of Nick Garrie’s Spanish tour. In summer 2008 I recorded an EP with Ricky Gil (bass) and Pol Font (drums), who’ve been key members in well-known barcelonian bands like Brighton 64, Matamala or Top Models. One of the tracks we recorded, “Top of the Hill”, appeared on the BipBip Records compilation “Somos los Mods 2“. Also in 2008, two tracks from my first demo, “Dancing with the Clown” and “Brown Water”, were featured in Bonvivant Records compilation “Megatón Ye-yé 11”. The EP finally came out in 2009 under the title "I'm Sorry for Loving You". The same year I opened two shows for Southerly in Girona and Badalona (Barcelona).

“I LOVE YOUR GLASSES” La primera session 3D de la historia!! :) El viernes estaremos en la velvet con la mejor musica (por descontado) y repartiendo gafas 3d (hasta fin de existencias). Además, os haremos una cuantas fotos, porque no hay gafas que queden mejor que las 3d de antaño (ojo las originales de cartulina, no la garrulada que te dan en el kinepolis!!). A ver si las ponemos de moda! Tambien proyectaremos en 3d, para que ademas de para estar mas guapos las gafas sirvan para algo. Nos vemos el viernes! Saludos!!
