Biography[editar]
He started to study Design while he uploaded some of his songs onto myspace.
After a few years of tourning underground and getting a lot of visits and reproductions on his media profiles, he drew the attention of some media and publishers, becoming “one of the most important faces for 2009” as “El País” said. A few months later, he was making a song for the film Brain Drain. That year he worked with Fernando Vacas (music producer of Russian Red) looking for a different sound on new songs, opening the door to a new phase. Nowadays, he accounts his first steps as entertainment and learning.
History[editar]
In 2010 Carlos met his previous manager Pito Cubillas (Alaska, Héroes del Silencio), with whom he travelled to Los Angeles, with thanks to a series of dreams, he discovered a new way of composing his songs, based on the instrumentalization and influences of indie and folk music. During this year, Carlos was invited to participate in a tribute album to Antonio Vega, El alpinista de los sueños, in homage to Héroes del silencio, Hechizo, in the album of Luis Eduardo Aute, Intemperie. By the end of that year, he signed with Sony Music Entertainment.
In January 2011 he released his first EP Atraes a los relámpagos that helped position him in the national indie-pop scene. In November he took part in El Intermedio, a Spanish TV programme, with a humorous sketch about Spanish politics and by the end of the year, he was nominated as “Best New Artist Record 2011” by Radio Televisión Española (RTVE).
In April 2012, he released his album Ciencias celestes and he finally used the name of Carlos Sadness. A personal and poetic album in which he musically reinvented himself without losing his personality. The day the album was released it appeared in the spanish channel La2 and 24 horas from TVE. That year, the brand San Miguel counted on him to star in its new advertising campaign “Ciudadanos en un lugar llamado mundo”.
In 2015 he released his second album, La idea salvaje, and it was nº 1 in Fnac and ranked the 12th position in the list of the Spanish top sellers. The album was produced in Glasgow, Scotland, and counted with the collaboration of Santi Balmes and it is a conceptual album which turns around the idea of an space travel, as a metaphor for the estrangement between two people. For weeks, his songs were nº 1 in “shared songs” of Spotify and Sadness became one of the six indie artists with more influence on spanish summer festivals and closing a tour with sold out in almost every concert including two dates in Madrid: Teatro Barceló and Sala But. This same year, he was nominated in the ARC awards as “best tour of festivals” and in the VEVO Awards in the category of spanish music video for “Bikini”.
In 2016 he extended his tour to more than 60 concerts and he was also part of more than 20 festivals while he was writing his first book Anatomías Íntimas, launched in November. The book was the most pre-ordered book in Fnac from the/its announcement to its launching. That year was also his debut in Mexico, and he reached something that any other artist had reached in his first visit: sold-out in Lunario in a matter of minutes and not only one, but three consecutive times. Those events attract the attention of the Mexican media and festivals, where he is invited to perform next year.
In 2017, Sadness released a single with which he became the first Spanish “indie” artist to exceed the 600,000 monthly playbacks in Spotify. He played in Vive Latino and did an American tour with 10 concerts. His song “Amor Papaya” with Caloncho is the Spanish most listened indie song in Spotify during 2017.
Currently, in 2018, the singer has published the album ‘Diferentes Tipos de Luz’, which started with the advance of ‘Hale Boob’ on January 12 of this year and with the release of the single ‘Longitud de Onda’ on February 2. The scheduled release date was on February 23, tickets for the concert in La Riviera Madrid were sold out two months before.
Style and influences
Lyrics born from the experience of what he dreams and lives, built with a fantastic and imaginative character. Barcelona and the North of Huesca are some of the places where he finds inspiration. In fact, he affirms to have imagined many of the lyrics in those places. The trailer Monteperdido and references of Montjuic shallow hill and Tibidabo mountain in his album “La idea salvaje” are a clear example of this.
In his musical taste are included groups such as Death Cab For Cutie, Simon and Garfunkel, Los Piratas or Joy Division. Munch, Kafka or the impressionist authors are examples of his cultural preferences. He is one of the most followed indie artists in social networks, as it can be seen in Twitter or Facebook.
His song “Hoy es el día” was used for Walmart’s spring-summer advertising campaign in the United States. He also was one of the artists of the advertisement spot of San Miguel beer in 2012.
In 2009, he shared stage with Katy Perry in the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona and in the Palacio de los Deportes in Madrid. He also shared stage with the Spanish singer Bebe in her 2010-2011 tour.
Other activities
Before he fully engaged in music, he worked as illustrator and advertising designer. While working in advertising agencies, he worked for trademarks such as White Label, Eristoff Black or Carolina Herrera.
In 2016, his book Anatomías Íntimas was published. In his book, he fuses his facets as illustrator and writer; he found the way to weave texts, ideas, memories, songs and illustrations. Since the announcement of the date of publication, the book remained at the top of Fnac’s list of reserved books.
In 2016, he wrote a preface about the different points of view about love for the book Los novios de Gael of Sanz i Vila published by Ediciones Hidravión.
