Spain continues to discuss the performance of Izan Llinàs at Benidorm Fest, where the 21-year-old artist from Ibiza took fourth place and presented his new track “Ahora sé” to the public. The young musician, who grew up in a family of famous performers—Marcos Llinàs and Dyango—spoke for the first time openly about how the support of his loved ones and early success influenced his personal and professional development.
Family Support and Personal Challenges
According to Llinàs, his path in music was defined from childhood: a creative atmosphere and the constant presence of music at home became a natural environment for him. However, the artist emphasizes that despite his famous last name, he took every step in his career independently. Llinàs notes that the advice from his father and grandfather was important, but all his achievements are the result of his own efforts. He admits that early success changed his usual childhood, but does not consider it a loss: “It was a different experience, but it is precisely what made me who I am.”
Working on Himself and New Material
In his new single “Ahora sé,” the artist touches upon the topic of inner stress and the search for balance between career and personal well-being. Llinàs explains that the song became a kind of message to himself from ten years ago—a reminder of the importance of caring for his own feelings. The music video features real toys from his childhood and images of Ibiza, which added a personal sense of nostalgia to the project. According to the musician, working on this material was his first experience taking full responsibility for both writing the lyrics and the concept.
The influence of the industry and the family’s response
Llunas admits that participating in major projects like “La Voz Kids” and his role in the series about Luis Miguel put him in the spotlight from a young age. However, he emphasizes that he always took things naturally, and his family’s support helped him stay calm and keep his feet on the ground. After Benidorm Fest, his father and grandfather congratulated him on his performance, expressing pride in his achievement. The artist also shared that his family discusses the modern challenges of the industry, including the impact of social media, and sometimes even exchanges advice on managing their accounts.
The dynasty and forging his own path
Although the Llunas surname is associated with a musical legacy, Izan himself does not see it as either an advantage or a burden. He notes that he has made all the key decisions on his own and sees criticism on social media as motivation to grow. The artist admits he sometimes listens to his father’s album “Piel a piel” and his grandfather’s song “Por volverte a ver”, and does not rule out one day performing them with his family as a tribute.
The theme of searching for one’s own identity and turning to one’s roots is becoming increasingly visible among young Spanish artists. For example, Quevedo recently released an album dedicated to Canary Islands identity, which was covered in detail in the piece about Quevedo’s musical journey and his connection with his homeland.
Plans and looking to the future
In conclusion, Llunas noted that he does not rule out returning to Benidorm Fest in the future, and his main advice to himself is to stay calm and not forget his own values. According to him, every stage of a career requires new decisions, but the support of family and personal integrity remain key pillars.
