Juan Zelada

Juan Zelada is a Madrid-born, London-based singer-songwriter who’s been blending Latin warmth with British indie charm since the late 2000s. Known for his soulful voice and knack for breezy, sun-soaked melodies, he first caught ears with his 2012 debut album *The Blues Is Still the Blues*, which mixed retro pop sensibilities with Spanish guitar flair. His more recent tracks like "Birds Chirping," "Cool Mood," and "This Moment" showcase a matured artist leaning into laidback grooves and bilingual lyricism, often pairing upbeat rhythms with introspective themes.

While maintaining a DIY ethos, Zelada’s music casually bridges cultures – you might hear flamenco-tinged riffs cozying up to indie-pop hooks, or English/Spanish lyrics dancing together in tracks like "Volver a empezar." A seasoned live performer, he’s built a loyal following through intimate shows and festival slots, channeling both Madrid’s vibrant energy and London’s eclectic music scene into his work. His 2020s releases find him refining this global cocktail, serving up tracks that feel equally at home in a bustling tapas bar or a rainy Camden pub.
