Alicante singer Pepe Bernabé signs for Warner Music

ALICANTE. The singer from Alicante Pepe Bernabé shows that overcoming your own challenges in a row almost inevitably leads to the reward. After many years of effort has won the professional ‘award’ for a music giant like Warner Music to produce their next work. And it happens after several years in which, with the support of his father, he has fought to assert his talent.

The young artist is now beginning a new stage for which he changes his artistic nickname from Bad Boy to his own first name, but he does not make a clean slate, quite the opposite. “This is the recognition of so many years of effort and dedication that have made me now greatly value this achievement, because If this had come early in my career it might not have meant so much“confesses Bernabé, who proudly remembers the road traveled.” It has been many years of knocking on many doors.

“The time has come”, sentence. The agreement has been finalized this week. The music production company will take care of their next ten songs. Songs that he will compose himself as an experienced author. And that is precisely one of the facets that has helped him the most to open a door in the complicated world of professional music, first through Warner Chappell Production Music and now with Warner Music Spain.

The topic that has given him the greatest public notoriety to date has been the one he wrote for Quijano Coffee, 100 times, where he also participated by putting his voice. His collaboration with Bombai last summer on the song has also been very popular. I like you. Now, the last composition that has been presented has been Who do i curse, with Maria Carmona. A single Launched on February 12th, with which the Spaniard kicks off the presentations of songs he has written for other singers and which will be announced shortly.

The agreement reached at this time with Warner Music consists of ten songs that will make up an LP and that will foreseeably be dosed in time. “I don’t know if it will be a full album or ten singles they finally make a record, but I have always been taking song by song because I like to give each one their prominence“, explains Bernabé. Five of those first songs are already in the hands of the producer, although he admits that he will not be able to avoid the need to continue composing and perhaps those new songs that arise will later replace the projects already presented to the company.

He is a romantic. “I always talk about love, it is where I find the most feeling,” he explains about his inspiration. But he is also always experimenting because, he says, if he doesn’t, he gets bored. His involvement in the projects of other artists also leads him to that. In fact, the collaboration with María Carmona has been the first introduction to date of flamenco overtones in his music. Something that will be repeated soon in one of the aforementioned collaborations that will soon see the light.

If it works well and conquers the public, it could still be a line to follow, because he does like the result. “Apart from having my own project like Pepe Bernabé, I like to produce and compose for others and that leads me to continue experimenting because, when I’m not doing a romantic ballad for myself, I’m doing rock The trap with other singers“He describes. An experience that enriches his music and consolidates him as an artist.” I don’t want to keep doing the same thing all the time because otherwise I’d get bored with myself, “he says.

However, in his head the idea of ​​having reached the goal is far away, but for him everything has just begun and the experience will help him on that journey in which he has also learned from frustration. “It has been difficult to achieve the repercussion that one wants so that the music that he composes reaches people“, he comments on what is one of the main purposes of art: that people can contemplate and enjoy it. “Many people believe that this is as simple as recording the first thing that comes to mind, but it is not like that; it requires a lot of financial and personal effort,” he says. And on that road, the uncertainty takes its toll. “I decide to stop music two or three times a month, but I always come back“He confesses. Luckily, he has never left it and now he gets his reward.
