My Journey to the Listen to Berlin Music Awards 2024


My Journey to the Listen to Berlin Music Awards 2024

I was recently nominated as one of the top 3 songwriters and singers at the Listen to Berlin Awards 2024 for my song Nadie Nadie. This recognition feels like a dream come true—and the fact that I was the only Latin Spanish act nominated makes it even more meaningful.


What makes this moment even more incredible is that it was a journey shaped by the public and the community. After being shortlisted by a jury panel, the public voted for their favorite artists. Thanks to your support, Nadie Nadie was voted into the top 3 for Best Song of a Berlin Act among many other talented artists in Berlin’s vibrant music scene.


What Nadie Nadie Means to Me

Nadie Nadie is a song that’s deeply personal to me. It’s about love—the kind of love that starts within us, the love we share with others, and the love that makes life meaningful. The title translates to “No one, no one”, and the song is a reminder to stop questioning the love we possess and the love we’re worthy of. It’s about accepting that there’s no one else but you in this life who can love and be loved in the way only you can.


When I wrote this song, I wanted it to be a reflection of something universal—an emotion we’ve all felt at some point in life. To see Nadie Nadie resonate with so many people, and to know that it brought me here, to the Listen to Berlin Awards, is a feeling I’ll carry with me forever.


Berlin’s Music Scene: A Place of Diversity and Creativity

Berlin has been my home for years now, and it’s a city like no other when it comes to music. From underground clubs to festivals, Berlin’s music scene is rich with diversity and innovation. It’s a place where cultures and sounds collide, creating something truly unique. As an artist from Latin America, Berlin gave me the space to explore my identity and bring my roots into my music.


Being part of the Berlin music community has been a life-changing experience. The city’s openness to different cultures and languages allowed me to embrace my Latin heritage while blending it with modern influences. Being nominated as a Latin Spanish artist in Berlin is a reflection of the city’s inclusivity and the global connections that its music scene fosters.


From Shortlist to Top 3: How Your Votes Made This Happen

The journey to being recognized at the Listen to Berlin Awards 2024 wasn’t just about my music—it was about the incredible community that supported me. First, a jury panel selected Nadie Nadie for the shortlist, recognizing it as one of the standout songs of the year. Then, the public voted, and thanks to your love and support, I made it into the top 3 for Best Song of a Berlin Act.


Knowing that so many of you took the time to vote for me is something I will never forget. This nomination belongs as much to you as it does to me. It’s a reminder of the power of connection, of how music can bring people together no matter where we come from or what language we speak.


Why This Nomination Matters

This nomination isn’t just a personal achievement; it’s a milestone for Latin representation in Berlin’s music scene. Being the only Latin Spanish act nominated for the Listen to Berlin Awards 2024 shows that there’s room for all voices in this city. It’s proof that music has no borders and that our stories can resonate far beyond where they began.


For me, this recognition is also a moment to celebrate the power of love—the central theme of Nadie Nadie. It reminds me why I started writing music in the first place: to connect with others, to share emotions, and to create something that speaks to the soul.


What’s Next?

This nomination is just the beginning. I’m inspired to keep creating, to write more songs that speak to the heart, and to continue sharing my Latin roots with the world. Berlin has given me so much as an artist, and I’m excited to keep growing in this incredible city.

To everyone who voted for me, who has supported me along the way, and who continues to listen to my music—thank you from the bottom of my heart.


This recognition wouldn’t have been possible without you.
