The Benidorm Fest has already given us great moments that will go down in history. After two heart-stopping galas, the occasional surprise and a good dose of live music, now all the focus is on the end of this contest. This Saturday, February 4th, promises to be an epic night, since the 8 finalists will once again seduce us with their songs and staging to win the long-awaited bronze microphone. One of the clear candidates to win this trophy is José Otero, a young man from the Canary Islands who has set out to excite all of Europe with his song. winters on mars
And boy has he done it! The artist has surprised everyone during the second semi-final of the Benidorm Fest with a performance that has made us move to another galaxy. Play of lights, a lot of smoke and an impeccable execution on stage with which he has managed to put the public and the jury in his pocket and get this ticket to the final.
Success, across the pond
Born in Teide (Gran Canaria) and only 32 years old, this artist has managed to conquer all Eurofans. Although, before, he already did it in the other part of the world with his peculiar voice. José Otero has developed practically all his career in Mexicowhere he became known thanks to his participation in the program The voice. This media pull led him to sign with Warner Music Mexico.
After the publication of several singles and collaborations with some artists such as Karen Méndez, the young man has gone a step further and has ventured to participate in the Benidorm Fest 2023 with the aim of representing Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest next month of May.
Fulfill a dream
Despite the fact that these days we have already been able to see his daring on stage, many Eurofans want to know a little more about him on a personal level. And José Otero has been very clear from a very young age that he wanted dedicate yourself to music, since it is one of his greatest passions.
Therefore, it is not surprising that all his studies have been specialized in this field, since he has trained, thanks to a scholarship, at The BRIT School for Performing Acts in England, before participating in the musical program al otro puddle side.
He sang at Pilar Rubio’s wedding
In addition to participating in the talent of Mexico, José Otero has starred in another of his most media works. Nothing more and nothing less than he has been one of the artists who participated in the wedding of Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio the past 2021.
The young man had to interrupt the recordings of the program to travel directly to the Seville capital and interpret Hallelujah with her angelic voice. Something really anecdotal and that he remembers with great affection.
A life lesson
José Otero is very close, since he has regularly shared photos of his most personal environment and, especially, of his parents. The young man has spoken openly that His family is one of his main pillars and it is precisely to them that he dedicates winters on mars.
Nor has he hidden the pain for the loss of his father, who passed away in 2021 and whom he frequently remembers. Something that we have also been able to verify during The night of the Benidorm Fest hosted by Miki Ñuñez and Aitor Albizua, when the mother has burst onto the small screen to congratulate her son after his performance and to convey to him that both she and her husband were very proud of him.
