Alvaro Soler is a Spanish-German singer-songwriter from Barcelona, Spain, who is best known for his hit singles “El Mismo Sol,” “La Cintura,” and “Sofia.” Soler was born in Barcelona, Spain, to a German father and Spanish-Belgian mother. He grew up in Spain before moving to Japan where he lived for 7 years. During his time in Japan, Soler began learning to play the piano and after moving back to Barcelona, he started a band called Urban Lights with his brother and friends. Urban Lights performed a mixture of pop and electronic music and they began to gain local fame before going on to appear in the Spanish music contest, ‘Tu si que Vales!,’ where they reached the final eight. Soler went on to study at Escuela de Grafismo Elisava and then decided to leave Urban Lights to pursue a solo career in Germany. While in Berlin, Germany, Soler released his debut solo single, El Mismo Sol, which immediately took off. It later was re-released with a feature from Jennifer Lopez and earned him a spot on the top 50 in 10 different countries. He followed up his first single with his second single, “Agosto,” and then “Sofia,” all of which are featured on his debut solo album, “Eterno Agosto.” Eterno Agosto peaked in the top 100 of eight different countries and earned him three-time ZPAV platinum, BVMI gold, FIMI platinum, and many more. He has since released his second album, “Mar de Colores.” Some of Soler’s other popular singles include “Libre,” and “La Libertad.”.
