Amaia Montero Saldas is indeed a Spanish singer and composer Corazon dormido is best known for her time as that of the lead singer of the Spanish pop band La Oreja de Van Gogh from 1996 until 2007.
Amaia has performed in Basque, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, and English, among other languages. She also co-wrote some of the band’s most popular hits in their original versions, notably “La Playa” (2000), “Mariposa” (2000), and “Puedes Contar Conmigo” (2003). Montero has earned over 10 million records worldwide, counting her work well with the band.
Amaia Montero is the younger sister of Idoia Montero, the daughter of José Montero and Pilar Saldas. She studied Chemistry at UPV/EHU, where she met the other members of La Oreja de Van Gogh. She changed her major to Psychology at the UNED once the band got popular. She eventually dropped out of school.
She has a vocal coach, and despite the fact that she is unable to attend courses on a regular basis owing to a lack of time, the benefits to her voice are obvious. When the CD Dile al sol was produced in 1998, Montero had nodules in her throat, but they were removed after the first tour.
After meeting at a local university, guitarist Pablo Benegas, bassist lvaro Fuentes, pianist Xabi San Martn, and drummer Haritz Garde founded “La Oreja de Van Gogh” in 1996. They used to cover songs by local bands like Soziedad Alkoholika as well as foreign rock artists like U2, Janis Joplin, Tool, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana, with San Martn generally giving lead vocals. Following an invitation from Benegas, Amaia Montero joined the band. After hearing Montero sing Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” at a dinner party, the two met.
They settled on La Oreja de Van Gogh, which means Van Gogh’s ear, after toying with brand names such as “Los Sin Nombre.”
