Martin

Following Martin Urrutia’s career since he joined the Operación Triunfo academy in late 2023 has been like watching one of those time-lapse videos where a building rises bit by bit but at breakneck speed. In just two and a half years, the young singer from Gipuzkoa has risen to such heights that he is now looking down on Spanish-language pop from a considerable vantage point. Finalist on Operación Triunfo. First post-academy songs. The premiere of Mariliendre, the musical series produced by Los Javis that marked his acting debut. And, above all, a debut album, La Insolación, produced by the one-of-a-kind Hidrogenesse, which we first heard about in the summer of 2025 through a cover of… Family’s ‘Nadadora’! The fact that the Amaia phenomenon has made us familiar with a possible alternative path for Operación Triunfo contestants should not prevent us from celebrating Martin’s unusual emergence, an open-minded and natural musical figure who occupies his own space between the mainstream and the indie scene. In that limbo full of possibilities, Martin shines. His journey continues to move forward little by little but at full speed.
