Biography

Latin pop singer from Spain Josep Sergi Capdevila Querol, known as Sergio Dalma, was captivated by Afro-American music at a young age, listing James Brown as one of his favorites. Dalma started getting experience while singing along with his Catholic school's chorus and later participating in a band with classmates from the Pau Vila Institute. Sergio Dalma debuted in 1989 with Esa Chica Es Mia, followed by Sintiendonos La Piel, in 1991. That same year, the artist came in fourth place at Eurovisión Festival, representing Spain with his song "Bailar Pegados." A year later, Adivina was released. In 1993, Dalma was invited to Viña del Mar's Festival, participating in the panel of judges and having the opportunity to perform in front of his biggest audience until that time. In January of 1994, Sergio Dalma got married to model Maribel Sana, having their first son in August of 1995. Following that important family event, De Colección was released after signing up to PolyGram. In September 24 of 1996, a live album called En Concierto was recorded at Madrid's La Rivera. Later, Dalma participated in a Nino Bravo's tribute album with a song called "Cartas Amarillas." In 1988, Historias Normales was released, followed by 2000's Nueva Vida. Dalma's next album, De Otro Color was released early in 2003. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Professional career

Sergio Dalma started his career singing in bands and doing chorus, until he won the TV program "Gent d'aqui", in the Catalan station of TVE, which won him a regular contract to sing in the Shadows night-club in Barcelona[1]. Sergio signed up with the record company Horus, and edited his first album, "Esa chica es mia", in 1989. Though it wasn't very successful, the company gave him another chance with "Sintiéndonos la piel", in 1991. That same year, Sergio Dalma was chosen to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Bailar Pegados", where he finished in the 4th position. This was his call to fame.

One year later, he published "Adivina", which arrived to number one in charts thanks to the song "Ave Lucía". Afterwards, he signed with Polygram, with whom he edited four albums, and later with his current record company, Universal, with whom he has published another four.

Sergio Dalma has sung in Spanish for most of his career, but being born in Catalonia (Spain) he speaks Catalan too. His last two albums, "Lo Mejor de Sergio Dalma" and "Todo Lo Que Quieres", contain songs in Catalan. This album also contains songs in Galician and he has also sung in Italian.

Sergio Dalma married Maribel Sanz on February 22, 1994. His only son, Sergio, was born on August 18, 1995 [1]. The couple later divorced, and Maribel became, for a while, a regular of celebrity magazines and TV programs.
