Early life

Born in Palma de Mallorca,[5] the largest city of the Balearic Islands in Spain, Rels B left home to work as a waiter and bricklayer at the age of 15.[6]

Rels B began his musical career at a young age, but initially dedicated solely to being a producer, although he recorded a couple of songs during that time.[6] After working for several years as a producer, in addition to releasing some singles, he made his official debut with his first EP Change or Die, in 2014.[5]

In 2015 he released his second EP Player Hater, which is consist of 8 songs produced by Itchy & Buco Sounds, mixed and mastered by Quiroga [es].

In 2016, he premiered the music videos for 'Skinny Flakkkkkkk' and 'Tienes El Don' on YouTube, with which he managed to capture the attention of other exponents of the genre. His first album Boys Don't Cry was released in the same year, consisting of a total of 12 tracks, again produced by Itchy & Buco Sounds and mastered by Quiroga.[7]

In 2017 he returned with an audiovisual project consisting of various songs with Indigo Jams, such as 'Nueva generación', 'A solas', 'Lord Forgive Me' and 'I Know'.[8][9] Then he would launch the song 'Libres' and the music video of 'Rock & Roll', with which he had accumulated more than two million views in less than a month.[5]
