Early life and education
Aitana Oca Morales is a talented Spanish singer and exceptional actress who graced the world on June 27, 1999. Hailing from the charming village of San Clemente de Llobregat, nestled in the verdant hills of Spain, she is the only child of loving parents Cosme Ocaña and Belen Morales. Her childhood was spent in the quaint towns of San Clemente de Llobregat and Viladecans, where she was groomed to be a star.
In 2017, Aitana rose to fame when she participated in the revival series of Spain’s preeminent reality television talent show, Las Victorias, where she showcased her impeccable musicality and captivating stage presence, finishing in second place.
She has loved music since she was 15 and began uploading her soulful covers of pop songs to YouTube. She became famous for her beautiful voice and released original tracks that same year, which wowed her audience.
The songstress then teamed up with the talented Ana Guerra to create the hit single “Lo Malo”, which became an instant hit and established her as a strong contender to represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018. The song was a huge success in Spain, reaching number one upon its release and staying there for several weeks, cementing Aitana’s reputation as a bona fide star.
Her rise to fame led to a 360° record deal with the legendary Universal Music, before she released her debut solo single, the captivating “Teléfono.” The song was a commercial success, breaking multiple streaming records and further elevating her star.
In 2019, Aitana entered the music scene with her debut studio album, Spoiler, which was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. The tour that followed was a huge success, taking place in numerous indoor stadiums in Spain and even resulting in a video album, Play Tour: En Directo. Following this triumph, she continued to pursue her creative pursuits, releasing her second album, 11 Razones, in late 2020, which included two top 5 songs, Más by Cali Y El Dandee (Cali & el Dandee) and Corazón Sin Vida by Sebastián Yatra.
But Aitana’s talents don’t stop there! In 2022, she also made her debut in the Disney+ original series La Última, where she not only starred but also composed the soundtrack, showcasing her versatility as an artist.
Aitana’s outstanding achievements and chart-topping singles have earned her the nickname “The Princess of Spanish Pop” and she has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Premio Ondas, two Premios Odeón, five LOS40 Music Awards, a Radio Disney Music Award, an MTV Europe Music Award and a Kids’ Choice Award. She is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, having proven her ability to dominate the Spanish music scene with four number one singles in Spain: Lo Malo, Teléfono, Vas a Quedarte and Mon Amour.
It is worth noting that Aitana’s road to fame was full of challenges. After completing her bachelor’s degree in 2017, she was accepted into university to study design. However, fate had other plans for her and after a selection, she decided to audition for Operación Triunfo in Ciudad Universitat Madrid and was selected to compete in its ninth season, which started her brilliant career.
Profession
In October 2017, Aitana participated in the music reality show Operación Triunfo. She represented Spain at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest with two songs: Arde, which she sang alone, and Lo Malo, written by Brisa Fenoy and sung in duet with Ana Guerra. The former came in second place, while the latter came in third place. Although the public did not choose Lo malo to represent Spain, it became an instant hit in Spain, staying at the top of the charts for five consecutive weeks and being certified 5 platinum.
From March to December 2018, Aitana embarked on a tour with members of the band Operación Triunfo. In July, the singer released her first solo single, “Teléfono”, which received mixed reviews. The song became her first number one solo single. It remained at the top of the charts for six consecutive weeks and was certified platinum four times. Its music video became the most viewed video on the Spanish YouTube channel Vevo within 24 hours of its release.
“Teléfono” is included in her debut EP, Tráiler, which was released on November 30, 2018. The EP contains six original songs, one of which was written in collaboration with Venezuelan-American singer Lele Pons. The second single from the EP, “Vas a Quedarte”, was released a week later. The song became her third number one single in Spain and was nominated for Best Spanish Song at the 2019 LOS40 Music Awards. The song was written by the Colombian band Morat.
Aitana published an illustrated book, became an ambassador for Stradivari violins, participated in Coca-Cola’s Christmas campaign, appeared in Skam Espaa and presented Bad Bunny with Lele Pons at the 19th Latin Grammy Awards.
In March 2019, Aitana began teasing her debut studio album, which was supposed to be a new EP and the second part of a trilogy. The singer announced the following month that she would be taking part in an intimate promotional tour sponsored by Los40. The singer admitted that during the first stop of the tour, in Barcelona, she had changed her mind. Instead of releasing another 6-song EP, she planned to release a full album.
She revealed the album’s title, Spoiler, and hinted at its release date, saying it would be out in early summer.
In April, Aitana collaborated with Morat on Presiento. In May, she teamed up with former One Direction bandmate Zayn Malik to create an adaptation of “A Whole New World” for Disney’s live-action film Aladdin. On May 17, 2019, she released “Nada Sale Mal”, the first single from her upcoming debut studio album. The album peaked at number 4 in Spain and was certified gold. On June 7, 2019, the album was released in digital and physical formats.
Aitana was nominated for Best New Artist at the 20th Latin Grammy Awards for “Mi Persona Favorita,” a collaboration with Greeicy Rendón, Nella Rojas and Alejandro Sanz. Later that month, she released “Me Quedo,” a collaboration with Lola Indigo, as the album’s second single. The song immediately topped the charts, was certified gold in its first week, and was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards.
Spoiler was re-released on December 20, 2019, with five acoustic versions of the songs and a tour documentary, including images from her performances in Madrid, Barcelona and Granada. It is only available in stores and not on digital platforms.
The performance was recorded for the video album Play Tour: En Directo and the Movistar+ TV exclusive Play Tour: Tras las Luces, both due to be released in 2020. From June to December 2019, singer Aitana embarked on her first concert tour to promote the Play Tour record, which included 27 events. The postponed tour originally scheduled for 2020, titled “+ Play Tour”, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
