Biography
Biography
He began studying music and instruments at the age of five under the guidance of his grandfather, Joan Solé i Costa. At the age of twelve, he started his artistic career as a clarinetist and saxophonist. From 1994 onwards, he explored various musical expressions of the world under the mentorship of Luis Paniagua. In 1996, the Èxit Award from Catalunya Ràdio marked the start of his career as a singer-songwriter. Since then, eleven albums, numerous awards for each new work, and critical acclaim have established him as a prominent figure in Catalan music. His music is inspired by three pillars: modern sounds, traditional roots, and ancient world music. His lyrics mix street language, literary language, and disappearing dialects. He has been described as “the most beautiful voice ever to emerge from Catalan song” (Mingus B. Formentor, La Vanguardia). In recent years, he has performed in countries such as France, Cuba, Italy, Uruguay, Serbia, the United States, Hungary, and Brazil. He has received more than twenty awards, and his discography includes Les flors del somni (1997), Casafont (1999), En el camí de les serps i els llangardaixos blaus fluorescents cap a la casa de vidre de la Senyora dels Guants Vermells (2001), dp (2003), Mística domèstica (2005), Les cançons tel·lúriques (2008), A la casa d'enlloc (2010), and Roger Mas i la Cobla Sant Jordi – Ciutat de Barcelona (2012). In 2013, he won the Rotllana Sardana Award (granted by the Sardana Federation of the Counties of Lleida) for combining modern music with traditional and ancient sounds from around the world, with lyrics blending street language, literary expression, and ancestral forms.
