Friends, thank you so much for all your comments, both on Kathy's channel and on mine, about our latest collaboration❤️❤️. This one has been particularly special, and I hope it won't be our last.

As I mention at the beginning of the video, this production and its final result exist only in our dreams, deep in our young hearts.

I've tried to push Kathy's incredible voice to its absolute limits in the mix, if that's even possible, and aimed for a final result that feels like a major production for a world-class artist. And, in one way or another, that's exactly what Kathy is to me and, I believe, to all of you.

We've spent months working on this wonderful song, which I originally wrote one rainy night.

Sometimes, when you put yourself out there on a channel, you meet all sorts of opinions. Some people tell you it sounds awful, others that it's absolutely perfect or "too perfect". Some say they would have done it differently, whilst others feel it's simply not the same without just an acoustic guitar and a voice, and so on...

I've said this before, but I'll say it again...

I make the music I want, exactly the way I want to make it. Whether it's recorded on a phone, on a multitrack recorder, live, in GarageBand, or mixed using the kind of technology employed by the great artists we listen to out there. One thing you'll never find missing from my songs is my HEART, which is the very least I offer you in every one of my songs, and believe me, that's no small thing.

With this song, I'm celebrating five years on YouTube, making music and doing things...**EXACTLY THE WAY I DAMN WELL PLEASE!**
I'm free, and I always will be. ❤️

This week at MOWI, we've decided to turn the volume of the world down a little. ❤️

Two songs, two stories and two different ways of experiencing music, but with something in common: sensitivity, elegance and the simple pleasure of listening without rushing.

We're kicking things off with “Calma en el ruido”, a collaboration with Red Star. This is a very personal song, written more than twenty years ago, which now returns in a brand-new version. A delicate Spanish-language song, full of emotion, brought back to life to invite us to slow down for a moment and listen with an open heart.

And this Friday, we have something very special coming your way: “Peaches and Oranges”, an R&B version with a touch of jazz, created especially for my friend Kathy Shortt. A little musical journey filled with vintage flavour, friendship and plenty of love.

Maybe this week isn't about making a big noise. Instead, we're choosing melodies that gently touch the soul, voices that convey emotion and those little musical details that stay with you long after the song ends.

Because music is also about memories, friendships, quiet moments and feelings that don't need to shout to be heard.

Two songs. Two stories. One shared philosophy: music with soul and a little class.

🎺 Welcome to MOWI's week.

Less noise, more soul. More music, more heart. Only the calm before the storm ;).

🎃 A little different this year...

No Halloween video from me this time. I guess I've lost a little of the Halloween spirit along the way! 😂

But don't worry, the music never stops. I'll be keeping the tunes alive while counting down to my favourite time of the year... CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎅

Until then, here's my little MOWIFRANKESTIZACIÓN! 🤘😂

Stay tuned, stay rockin' and keep the music alive! ❤️🎸

A cool, dark version of my friend Alexis's song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...

After quite a few requests and complaints through YouTube Support and feedback, it seems my channel is undergoing some sort of review, where I'm finding myself unable to do quite a few things. Well, that's what I think it is, anyway! If it's not a review, then I must be under attack from an extraterrestrial civilisation in the form of an algorithm! 😂

I can't reply to many of your videos at the moment, but... I'm still here, defending planet MOWI. 🚀🌍 😉❤️

Tomorrow at 6 PM, I’ll be sharing one of the purest love songs ever written, and one of the songs I’m most proud of in terms of my own vocal performance. ❤️🎶

I hope you’ll take a little time to listen, leave a like, and share your precious comments with me. Your support means the world to me! ❤️🙏

Mañana nace una canción muy especial. “El hombre cambiante” es una de las primeras canciones que compuse —quizá la primera— hace ya mil vidas. Una canción sobre lo que queda cuando un sueño se rompe… y sobre aquello nuevo que aparece después. 🧡⭐🌊

Tomorrow, “El hombre cambiante” arrives. One of the first songs I ever wrote — maybe the very first — a lifetime ago. A song about dreams, change, and finding something new when everything seems to fall apart. 🎵

Tomorrow, I’m releasing something very special to me.

I’m not just playing a song. I’m trying to decode it — the light, the darkness, the spaces between the notes, and everything I hear inside it.

If you have four minutes to give me tomorrow, I’d love you to experience this one from beginning to end.

Sometimes you don’t just listen to music.

Sometimes you have to decode it. 🖤

YouTube, You Love Yourself.

So I wrote you a song. 😏

It’s funny.
It’s a little bit sarcastic.
And if you’ve ever tried to understand YouTube, its algorithm, views, likes, subscribers or why the hell some videos suddenly disappear into the void…

I think you’re going to recognise yourself in this one.

And hopefully, you’re going to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Tomorrow — 15:00.

See you there. 🖤

Finally, my week of night shifts is coming to an end! 🙌

I’ll finally stop being a freaking zombie and hopefully have enough life left in me to wander around your lovely channels and catch up with you all. 😅

So, if I’ve been a bit quiet or late visiting your channels lately, that’s the only reason. Night shifts have absolutely wrecked me! 😂

See you around, folks! ❤️🎸
