Hailing from the Basque Country, his music often celebrates regional identity, with lyrics weaving between Basque (Euskara) and Spanish. Tracks like "Bi Mundu" and "Askatasunaren besoetan" showcase his knack for storytelling that balances introspective themes with nods to Basque heritage, while upbeat tunes like "La Basque" highlight his lively live performances.
