Early Life & Education

Aitana Ocaa Morales, the talented Spanish chanteuse and thespian extraordinaire, was born and graced this world with her presence on the 27th of June in 1999. She hails from the charming hamlet of Sant Climent de Llobregat, nestled in the verdant hills of Spain, and was blessed to be the only child of her loving parents, Cosme Ocaña and Belén Morales. Her childhood was spent in the quaint towns of Sant Climent de Llobregat and Viladecans, where she was groomed to become a star.

In 2017, Aitana shot to national fame when she participated in the revival series of the outstanding Spanish reality television talent show Operación Triunfo, where she displayed her impeccable musical prowess and enchanting stage presence, securing the second spot.

Her love for music began when she was merely a lass of 15, and she started uploading her soulful covers of popular songs to YouTube. She made a name for herself with her melodious voice, and in the same year, she published her original tracks, which left listeners awestruck.

The songstress then teamed up with the talented Ana Guerra to produce the sizzling single Lo Malo, which became an instant chartbuster and a strong contender to represent Spain in the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest. The track was a runaway success in Spain, where it debuted at number one and remained there for several weeks, cementing Aitana‘s reputation as a bona fide star.

Her mercurial rise to fame earned her a 360o record deal with the legendary Universal Music, and she went on to release her debut solo single, the enchanting Teléfono. The track was a commercial triumph and broke several streaming records, catapulting her to even greater heights of stardom.

In 2019, Aitana entered the music world with her debut studio album, Spoiler, which garnered a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. The accompanying concert tour was a smashing success, gracing numerous indoor stadiums across Spain, and even produced a video album, Play Tour: En Directo. Following this triumph, she continued her creative pursuits and released her second album, 11 Razones, in late 2020, which included two top-five songs, Más by Cali Y El Dandee (Cali & el Dandee) and Corazón Sin Vida by Sebastián Yatra.
