Belgium-born artist Juan El Grande, now based in Spain, has unveiled his debut EP, Discover Now. This long-anticipated project marks a significant milestone in El Grande’s musical journey, showcasing his talents as both a songwriter and a storyteller. With a lifelong passion for music, El Grande’s debut EP is a reflection of his dedication to the craft, offering listeners a glimpse into his unique artistic vision.
The five-track EP captivates audiences with its entrancing lyrics, complemented by mellow basslines and evocative percussion. Each song on the EP is crafted to tell a distinct story, pulling listeners into the narrative and resonating on an emotional level. From personal experiences to imaginative tales, El Grande’s storytelling prowess shines through, inviting audiences to explore a variety of themes and perspectives.
Juan El Grande first made waves in the music scene in 2022 with his debut single, “Father,” a deeply personal tribute to his own father. This initial release set the stage for his artistic journey, blending personal introspection with broader storytelling. Tracks like “Another Hero’s Gone” demonstrate his versatility, weaving a tale of a Formula 1 driver’s tragic fate, while “Born To Be” takes listeners into the world of a local bar songstress. “Will 2 Play,” on the other hand, brings the focus back to El Grande himself, expressing his unwavering love for music and his desire to take listeners on a captivating musical journey.
The EP’s latest single, “Locked Inside,” offers a humorous take on the harsh realities of prison life, which El Grande likens to his very own version of “Jailhouse Rock.” Drawing inspiration from musical icons of his youth like Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, and Slade, El Grande sees, Discover Now, as the culmination of his lifelong passion for music. Describing the creative process as a “logical consequence” of his love for the art form, this debut EP is a testament to his commitment to sharing stories and emotions through music.
