At HIGHXTAR. we celebrate the arrival of spring with our second Digital Cover with one of the most promising latin singers of the moment: <\/strong>Lunay.<\/em> At only 21 years old, the Puerto Rican has become one of the figures with the most potential among the new generation of urban artists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of his song \u201cSoltera\u201d has led him to release a remix with Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny that already has 803 million views, as well as collaborating with big names such as <\/strong>Rauw Alejandro, Natti Natasha, Becky G <\/em>and <\/strong>Ozuna<\/em>. And if that wasn\u2019t enough, he is starting to make his first steps on the big screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reggaeton singer met with the HIGHXTAR. team to talk about his professional career, his future plans and the tour he is going to do in Europe this summer. Taking advantage of the occasion, we shot an editorial in which the young talent shines in total looks from <\/strong>GCDS SS22.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highxtar (H<\/mark>)<\/strong>\u2013 First of all, how is Lunay personally and professionally?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunay (L<\/mark>) \u2013 Right now, I feel like I\u2019m living and enjoying everything, being myself. Maturing and experiencing things out there in life.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 At only 21 years old, you have become one of the most promising figures of the new generation of urban artists: how and when did you start in the world of music?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I started when I was fourteen. At 13 I was already singing in church, but a year later I wanted to show the world what I was made of through an improvised video on social networks. And that\u2019s how I got opportunities, signed a contract and we are still working today. I would like to send a message to young people: don\u2019t give up and know that there is no age to succeed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 You have collaborated with great artists such as Rauw Alejandro, Natti Natasha, Bad Bunny, Becky G or Ozuna. Any anecdote you can tell us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I get something super cool from all of them and I always learn new things from them. But I want to point out that Rauw is a great partner and that we recently went to a party together in Madrid (laughs).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 With tracks like \u201cSoltera\u201d you change the stereotypical view of reggaeton. What is your purpose in the scene?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 With every song, whether it\u2019s for women or not, whoever I want to reach, I want to change the scene. In this case I wanted \u201cSoltera\u201d to become the anthem for single women.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>-Last summer you released your second album \u201cEl Ni\u00f1o\u201d, why this title?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I consider myself a hard-working, dreamy kid and before I grew up I wanted to put aside my legacy as a young man and the good things I did on this record.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 You are about to start your European tour, where and when will we be able to see you in Spain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 In Madrid, Benidorm, Seville, Canary Islands, Ibiza, etc. It\u2019s the first tour I\u2019ve done this big outside Latin America and I\u2019m very excited. Festivals include the Big Sound Festival, Reggaeton Beach Festival, Puro Latino Fest and more.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 What would you say to your Spanish fans who haven\u2019t seen you in concert yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I would tell them that they are going to experience something unique, singing with me all the songs from the first to the last. Besides, there will be many surprises that I can\u2019t reveal yet, such as the special guests that will appear.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 We have seen that from the beginning you have taken great care of your image. What was the first garment in which you decided to invest a lot of money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 The item or accessory I\u2019ve spent the most money on so far is my personalised watch, I love it. I used to customise them myself at school, but now I can afford it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 You had the great opportunity to sing at NBA Halftime 2022 with Duki, what did this mean for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 It has been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. I\u2019ve gone from playing basketball with my friends to singing at an NBA Halftime. The greatest thing. I\u2019m very grateful.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Which Spanish-speaking artist would you like to collaborate with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I would like to collaborate with Morad or Shakira.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 What is the last search you did on Google?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Amaz\u00f3nico, the restaurant. Yummy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Have you ever looked yourself up on the Internet? What\u2019s the weirdest thing you\u2019ve read about yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Yes, and the most random thing I\u2019ve found are collaborations that are totally fake.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 What is the last YouTube video you watched?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cWelcome to my crip\u201d by Jowell and Randy. My favourite song.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

H<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 A song you can\u2019t stop listening to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L<\/mark><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Bandida, a song of mine, I love it. It\u2019s not out yet. Stay tuned, you\u2019ll be able to listen to it soon.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
