Eva McBel moved to Madrid at 18, her career began to take off slowly as she played many of Madrid’s most emblematic venues, and while her and a handful of other artists just starting out began using El Búho Real’s open mic as a meeting point, where they would develop their craft for the next two years. Finally, in 2020, she released her first EP, “Some Kind of Portrait”, which soon thereafter started making the rounds with the critics, earning her only positive reviews and eventually led to her winning “Best EP of 2020” at the Premios de la Música Aragonesa. Writing mainly in English, and garnering musical references that spanned from Jacob Banks to The Lumineers, the record managed to make waves outside of Spain; from appearing in Australian tv show 'Neighbours', to appearing on the US radio or in other Netflix, HBO series like 'Neighbours', 'Élite',‘The Ferragnez’... 2021 saw the artist hard at work in the middle of a pandemic to prepare for what will be her first LP, “I’m Glad You Happened”, which came out in 2023. This new body of work and the decision to move to London expands what was already a very ambitious project of someone who has only just begun.
Eva McBel has performed in Sofar Madrid, Sofar London, and Sofar Brighton.
