PabloPablo, the son of Jorge Drexler who is looking for his own name: "I don't intend to run away from my father, I just do something new"

If you look closely at

(Madrid, 1998), it is not necessary for his last name to appear anywhere.

The physical features and that slow cadence when speaking already betray him as the son of Jorge Drexler.

And if his smile escapes, which is quite common during this conversation, all we need is the Uruguayan accent to obtain the rejuvenated clone of his father.

So with the elephant in the room, let's get it out as soon as possible.

Does being the son of Jorge Drexler benefit or harm a musical career?

Both.

It helps for having the privilege of suddenly working with C. Tangana and becoming his colleague or being able to be surrounded by a music group.

The harm is trying to be as good as him, the comparison, and that it is understood that I am another person. Is that where the omission of the surname comes from? I do not intend to run away from who my father is, I love the Drexler surname.

But when I relate the last name to my father's posters when I went on tour with him and to his songs, which are not mine.

It is not so much to hide my name, which is not possible, but rather to create a new life and that a last name does not distract.

And, from here, the references to the father or mother, also a singer, Ana Laan, end.

Although the two of them are largely to blame for this musical career that is now starting.

Because

.

They are his school stage at the General Padre Antonio Soler integrated public school of music and dance in San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

They are his superior studies of music in London.

And they are the desire to enter the Mondo nightclub without being of legal age, even falsifying the DNI, to flirt and above all listen to music at full blast.

With those wickers, the surprising thing would be that he had not opted for music.

«

.

I feel like I'm at the time of either I take it by the balls and go into my room to create or the engine won't start.

At the moment there are three singles that he has already published -the last one, Paris, a few days ago- and an album that is on the way for next June 24.

A mixture of romantic songs, of a singer-songwriter, with electronic bases that he discovered as soon as he landed in London.

«I am fascinated by the club world and huge loudspeakers and, when I went to England, I fell in love with his respect for clubs, which we have now adopted in Spain.

».

That electronic part comes from the night, but before that there is a creation process.

“First it is to make songs with the guitar or the piano and then contextualize that with the world, headphones and speakers so that it sounds beautiful.

.

Like Rosalía or Pucho have done, albums that the industry says shouldn't be made».

That name, Pucho, is also important in PabloPablo's musical evolution.

Because he, who slept in his father's studio during the pandemic,

for Jorge Drexler and C. Tangana , who had met at a Grammy

.

«My father asked me to go put the microphones on because he knew that I was a fan of Pucho in a previous session that did not come out.

When

was Pucho who got me into the song».

Not only did he produce it, he ended up joining the

and singing the parts of Ed Maverick and Omar Apollo in

and

.

«

.

Pucho saw me singing this and told me to do it at concerts.

The transgenerational concept of this is amazing, it has made one of the biggest hits of the last decade, You stopped loving me, with a rock like La Húngara who could be from the generation of her parents ».

For someone who studied music, that completely destroys the academic idea of ​​this art. Having studies is neither necessary nor sufficient.

There are people without studies doing spectacular things.

For me it's a tool and when I make a song I try to ignore everything I know about harmony. Is there still a certain classism from that world to the urban? Let's get better, but it still exists and that classism is very evident.

Even in electronic music they have a disdain for everything African or Latin.

It's very heavy because you scratch and racism remains.

All the people who have prejudices against reggaeton end up being due to classism or racism. Could it come from the fact that the majority of people who enter those worlds are upper middle class?

It is that it is an environment that already attracts privileged people because the instruments are expensive.

My family helped me a lot in this and that my parents have always been super open to me doing what I wanted.

But I have always wanted to make music and I never had to explain anything to them because I have very talented colleagues who find it hard to say it at home because they are told that they are not going to make a living from it.

I have not fought against my parents to be an artist. Have the platforms destroyed the industry and allowed more innovation? Mallet.

Because before, a record company put up dough so that a song would come out on the radio for hours and now everything is much more democratic.

If you ask for it, it's because people like you.

It's fashionable to break everything, do weird things and that's cool for me.

There is more courage because the record companies lose weight, the rock is more independent and that allows new things to be seen.
