“When Messi left I didn’t get to cry… but I was touched.â€‌

While everyone was messing around touching rolls of paper in quarantine, Marc Seguأ (Palma de Mallorca, 1998) wrote the song of the summer. Marc has appeared on the scene as an outstanding playmaker and in less than a year the big boys already want him. If we were him we would already retire at the top. With colored hair and free weekends. But he likes Pedri: talent and work. Marc Seguأ nails what’s important. He doesn’t want to stop being a child and makes love songs with what happens every day.

What is your working method when writing a song?

In my day to day I write down many concepts. Maybe I see a family doing something… I say how nice! and I point that out. But for me, first is the beatthen I hum melodies over it to make the rhythms and I start writing depending on the mood have that day. And when I start writing, some things are concepts written down and others that come to me at the moment.

Are all the stories you write true? Have you ever fallen in love with a fan?

That’s a concept that we liked, I like to find a good concept and think about it. But no, I would never fall in love with a fan.

What do you think of the urban music scene in Spain? It is often criticized that the greatest do not help each other to make culture grow…

I don’t know if it’s ego or what, but big people here are very closed to collaborating together. Then you see the Argentine scene in which Duki brings up a song and all the greats in the country share it on social networks.

Who has been the famous person who has shared that they are most excited about?

آ،Sergi Roberto!

The remix of Shooting It has been one of the songs of the summer, its numbers are spectacular… how did that come about? feat?

He spoke to me for Instagram! He opened a DM for me and told me that if I ever made a remix, to let him know why he wanted to get on. He was walking down the street and saying… “they’re scamming me.” I called my manager to tell him and he started laughing, he didn’t believe it either. He is a very humble boy, even though they are people who live in another world. I freaked out a little that day, the budget for the music video was crazy, the clothes were special…

And how was that video clip created?

It arose from the idea of ​​the video clip of the original song, in reggaeton there has never been something so colorful, with flowers… Although he is the “big” artist of the song, I always felt that it was my theme . It’s an idea that I got with Xavi (the artist Xavibo, Marc’s friend and with whom he shares several songs) at home. I composed it in quarantine and it was born from a beat of YouTube. I didn’t even have the money to buy it, it was €20, and I called a friend to ask him to buy it for me.

Where do you want to evolve your career?

The truth is that I don’t have a… “I want to be suchâ€‌. I’m so locked into my project that I don’t usually listen to that much music, I’m only focused on what I do and improving what I do. I would like to be myself and end up being a singer who can tour all over Spain, earn a living and buy a house.

What are your favorite topics?

Shooting obviously, and not because I blew it, but because I think the song is round, it has a beautiful chorus… with you crazy y Daiwalboth with Xavi. I really like the songs with Xavi, it’s like a funniest part B of my project, which I really enjoy doing with him.

Any player who represents you aesthetically?

I don’t know too many people dressed in street clothes, but Neymar makes interesting hair.

How much value does aesthetics have in music?

Aesthetics or your way of communicating on networks is what gives you credibility when it comes to being an artist. And I think that if you don’t have credibility you are not an artist and you will never have an audience. Although now there will be many people who have heard Shooting and he won’t even know that it’s mine, or that it’s Rauw’s, the people who go to the concerts are the ones who see you in YouTubewho knows you.

Did you study anything before music?

I did ESO and halfway through high school I decided. My mother put me to work, when I was 17 I was washing dishes. I went to London and continued washing dishes. Then I came back and worked on it. Zara Homeand when I was permanent I started with music.

And now you are curious to study something?

Music is the most, I am very clear about it.

How do you manage the pressure before a concert?

You always have the tension of… What if now I trip over a cable and fall on my face in front of two thousand people? But it’s like soccer, you felt that same pressure, but when you touched the first ball it went away. When you go out to a concert, you say the first word, connect with the audience and relax. They are “I have to do well” nerves, they are not negative.

There are several references to football in his songs: Icardi and Maxi, Boca and River, Eto’o’s Mallorca…

It’s what the song takes you to, it’s nothing sought or forced. Especially when I write with Xavi, we are both very football fans. The reference to Boca and River (“She is from River Plate, I die because of her mouth”) Ebay) we took it out on a plane and we liked it.

Who is your favorite player?

The best in the world and in history. And besides Messi, I believe that the future of Spain is Pedri.

How did you see Messi’s departure?

It was hard… I had a bad time. I didn’t cry, but I was touched. It’s typical that every year the news comes out that he’s leaving and you think “bah…” How is he going to leave Barcelona? I’m sure they’ll fix it. And when he really left I couldn’t believe it.

آ?Prأ،ctical algأ;n sport?

If drinking beer is a sport… no, I’m totally out of it now. I like paddle tennis and tennis, I would like to practice them more, but now in Madrid I only think about music.

What do you expect from Mallorca this year?

Please don’t go down. I don’t think it will descend. Fer Niأ±o is very cool, but he is on loan, he will leave next year. I like Kubo, although I think he lacks body, but he runs the entire game and has a lot of quality. But I see more of a future for Fer Niأ±o, who is a tall, burly guy, he drives, he has a goal… and Mallorca was missing him since Budimir left.

A couple of weeks ago it premiered cara 🙂new single…

It’s a topic with my friend Xavi. Now he is at a stage where he is releasing more sung songs and we really wanted to release it.
