Melendi’s horoscope is Aquarius. Melendi is a nice, spontaneous and charming man. Empathize quickly with the public and with the people. As we have seen in the La Voz musical contest, he can not sit down, he is nervous and restless. All these are very traits of his sign. Like the Aquarius, they are people of firm convictions, with very clear ideas and an agile mind. They are people, who mature quickly and become independent soon.

In his youth, Melendi studied at the IES Alfonso II in Oviedo, where he met the Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, for whom he composed the song El Nano, included in the album Que el cielo espere sentao. As a young man, he was not so attracted to music, his biggest passion being football; sport that led him to a short career as a footballer, debuting in several lower categories in the team of his city, Real Oviedo.

Melendi left professional football in early 2001, the same year he decided to take his first steps as a musician, forming part of a band created with his friends named Sherwood Forest, with which he made a dozen performances in various venues of the Oviedo area.

Melendi travels to Madrid between August and September of 2002, to the Oasis studios of the Spanish capital, where he begins to record his debut album, titled as one of his first songs, Sin noticias de Holanda.

In 2004, one of the songs from his first album, “Con la luna llena”, is chosen as the official song of the Vuelta Ciclista a España that same year, and in turn, Melendi is elected revelation singer.

The 2005 was marked for Melendi by the birth of his daughter Carlota, being thus father for the first time, and by the launching to the market of its second disc, That the sky waits for seated.
