The end of Benidorm Fest 2023 has already arrived, which means that we are one step closer to knowing who will represent our country at the festival of Eurovision, which will be held on May 13 in Liverpool. After two very close semifinals that have left us powerful performances with the most varied staging, this Saturday, February 4th, it is time for the eight finalists to face each other on stage. Who will win the Benidorm Fest?
One of the applicants who has managed to gain a place in the second semifinal of the contest and has risen in third position (with 135 points), just behind Blanca Paloma and Agoney, is Vicco. Although the truth is that if we look at the bets and look back, we see that the young author of the song nocturna She was already running before the contest as one of the favorites.
But, beyond Benidorm Fest 2023, the young Vicco, 26 years old whose real name is Victoria Riba Munsis a singer seasoned on stage who was born on March 10, 1995 in the city of Barcelona who loves Ariana Grande and The Weeknd, but who has grown up with the songs of other more classic ones such as The Beatles, Maná or Alejandro Sanz, with whom he has a very special relationship.
His first steps in music
We are already learning about his talents as an artist, but one of the most striking facts in his biography is that he first stood in front of the piano when he was only 9 years old.
But it was a little later when Vicco realized that the instrument he really wanted to use was his voice. This click sounded when her surroundings began to tell her that she sang very well, that’s when she decided to take this path.
“I remember with special affection that at that time he hit me very hard with the song What you’re made of of Lucy Silvas”, she recounted in an interview on LOS40.com. In case you didn’t know, the young Catalan he had his own band, Carpanta, along with his sisters.
Although, yes, if being a singer doesn’t work out, another of her professional dreams since she was little was to be an astronaut or a dentist. Although, given the big step that she has taken from her, we suspect that the industry will have a place for her.
Vicco, Alejandro Sanz’s godmother
In his race towards Eurovision, we have been able to know, drop by drop, the details of all the participants of this second edition of the Benidorm Fest. One of Vicco’s most striking data is his relationship with Alejandro Sanz.
As she herself recounted in an interview, a stranger approached her after a school event and offered her help to get her head into the industry, she just had to pass on some of her work for the young woman to send them to a certain Alexander.
Days later, the author of nocturna discovered that the man who saw his work was Alejandro Sanz and it was thanks to him that he acted as his opening act during the tour Syrupwith only 19 years.
His relationship with other artists
But the singer from Malaga is not the only artist on his resume. After experiencing that tour, the young Catalan did not stop and she continued to train. She studied Music Production and has worked composing for Edurne, María Escarmiento, Mireya Bravo and Flori.
Besides, I already knew Siderland beforeanother of the bands that aspired to the Benidorm Fest but that has already been left out, when they made the song Cream the track.
