Eduard Gener began as a member of projects such as Despertadors Atòmics, but he embarked on his solo career in 2015 with the album Les Avingudes. His offering is unique: soul music sung in Catalan, an uncommon yet highly distinctive style.
In 2017 he stood out with his second album, Diumenge, earning the title ‘the soulman of Catalonia’ and reinforcing his sonic identity with influences from jazz, blues and swing.
With five albums released by 2022, Eduard has maintained a steady evolution, collaborating with labels such as RGB Suports, Casafont Records and Jezz. His latest work, Swing de comarques (2022), is a tribute to the self-taught musician of the rural world, with a fusion of swing and folk melodies.
With his base of operations in Solsona, Eduard has performed at clubs such as the Harlem Jazz Club and the Jamboree in Barcelona, emulating the touring route of musicians from the provinces in the 1950s. He stands out as a ‘Catalan soulman’ for his ability to adapt North American styles to his cultural context.
It represents the capacity for transformation rooted in local origins and musical innovation. As an alumnus, he is a role model for anyone wishing to combine technique, personal identity and professionalisation. His journey exemplifies passion and perseverance, with a personalised style and cultural fidelity.
