There are artists who turn every concert into a collective celebration and others who understand the stage as a meeting point with those who have accompanied their songs from the beginning. Nile Moliner He belongs to that class of musicians capable of uniting both things: energy, emotion, and a very intimate way of experiencing life. The music.
The Catalan artist will be one of the main protagonists of La Marineta Festival, to be held in the Torrecremada Park Dénia within Parties from the Sang SantíssimaTheir performance will take place on Friday 3 July at 23: 00 hours, on a day that will also feature performances by Fifth, Mafalda Cardinal and the DJ Michenlo.
A concert to connect with the audience
Nil Moliner will be in charge of taking up the musical mantle after the first performances of the afternoon and leading the opening day of The Marineta towards one of his most anticipated moments. However, the artist assures that he doesn't see that spot on the bill as a heavy responsibility.
“I don’t see it as any pressure at all. For me, a concert is something precious, a chance to connect with people,” she explains. Her goal isn’t to artificially adapt to the schedule or the headliner role, but to do what she does best: sing, share, and create a real connection with the audience.
"I'm going to sing my songs with my people, to create a beautiful and wonderful moment of connection with the audience."
The singer acknowledges that one of the biggest draws of a festival is meeting people who may not yet be familiar with his music. "That's the best part for me. It's like a challenge, and it's wonderful," he says. That's why he's arriving in Dénia with "a lot of enthusiasm" and a live show ready to turn the night into a shared celebration.
The Mediterranean as home
El Parc de TorrecremadaLocated between the urban center of Dénia and the proximity of the sea, it provides a particularly significant context for the artist. Nil Moliner acknowledges that the Summer It has a very important weight in his personal and musical imagination.
“For me, the Mediterranean is home,” he says. In fact, his latest album, NEXOIt is largely written looking out to sea. That connection with the coast appears in his songs, in his way of understanding life, and also in the emotion he feels when playing near that coast that he feels is his own.
"This album, NEXO, was also largely written looking out to sea."
En NEXONil Moliner sings about escaping the big city and seeking the sea. The artist recalls a time living in Madrid when he greatly missed the Mediterranean, that everyday presence that forms part of his identity.
"Those of us who live near the Mediterranean know what the sea means and what that humidity means, which so few people like and only a few of us understand," he says.
"Being able to sing NEXO while being near the sea will be a real luxury."
For Nil, performing in Dénia will not just be another date on the calendar. It will be a way to unite the song, the landscape, and the audience in one place.
The same dreamer of Sant Feliu de Llobregat
Before headlining festivals and touring stages across the country, Nil Moliner started in music at a very young age with the pop-rock band CyBeeLooking back, the artist doesn't feel that that boy from Sant Feliu de Llobregat has disappeared. On the contrary, he assures that it is still fully present.
“Everything remains,” he replies. Nil recognizes himself in that young man who imagined concerts before actually experiencing them. “I’m the same dreamer, I’m the same Nil who used to clutch the remote control of the TV and she would start imagining that she was singing in front of a lot of people."
Although she now has platinum records, major tours, and the affection of thousands of people, she remains very aware of how difficult it is to get here. "I haven't forgotten the dream, how hard it is to be here, how improbable it all is," she explains.
Along the way, he also emphasizes the fundamental role of his band and his entire team. For Nil Moliner, success is not understood as an individual achievement, but as the result of many people rowing in the same direction.
A sound made up of many influences
Nil Moliner's songs have a recognizable essence: bright pop, a festival spirit, Latin rhythms, echoes of reggae, and a distinctly Mediterranean energy. However, the artist refuses to be pigeonholed into a single style or reference point.
“We are made of references,” he says. In his case, the music of local festivals, the bands from his community, and the songs he listened to as a child have all become part of his own creative language.
La crop Popular culture, he explains, has a decisive importance in his way of composing. "Those festivals that we have all experienced are part of our collective imagination and our lives, and mine too. So they are also part of my music."
When asked about a main influence, Nil prefers not to single out just one name. His universe encompasses very different artists, from Bruno Mars to Queen, to Fito, The Fool's Song, Laziness, Jon Bellion o John Mayer.
"I think it's a smoothie made from a mix of many good things."
This mix explains why one song might lean more towards a ballad, another towards pop, another towards Latin rhythms, and yet another towards a more folk sound. For him, choosing a single influence wouldn't be fair, nor would it represent the true diversity of his music.
To dream before it all happened
Starting out alone is often marked by uncertainty, but Nil Moliner acknowledges that he has always had a very intense relationship with the idea of dreaming. "When you dream, you project, and when you project, you almost think it's going to happen," he reflects.
The artist explains that since childhood he imagined himself singing in front of large audiences. Therefore, when it all began to happen, he experienced it as the materialization of something that had lived in his mind for years.
"When it finally happened, it was basically a dream come true."
Nil Moliner speaks of that journey without hiding the effort behind it. "I've always worked incredibly hard and tirelessly until I achieved it," he says. That mix of enthusiasm, hard work, and hope also permeates his stage presence.
Songs that aren't meant to be optimistic, but honest.
His concerts are often associated with good vibes, energy, and a sense of collective joy. However, Nil Moliner clarifies that his songs weren't created with the calculated intention of conveying optimism.
“I make music and songs about stories that move me, things I see, things that happen to me,” he explains. When writing, he prefers not to be influenced by thinking about the effect the song will later have on the public.
For the artist, honesty transcends any label. If a luminous perspective appears in his lyrics, it's because that way of understanding the world is part of him, not because he's trying to manufacture a specific emotion.
"I don't write music thinking about being optimistic," he insists. His goal is to tell stories that resonate with him and that each listener can then make their own in a different way.
The connection that turns every concert into a celebration
One of the great hallmarks of Nile Moliner It's the diversity of his audience. Children, young people, families, and people of different generations share the space at his concerts, something the artist experiences with particular enthusiasm.
When asked about the secret to that connection, he admits there's no magic formula. "If there were a secret, everyone would be using it," he says. For him, it all stems from constant work, from carefully crafting every melody, every lyric, and every detail of the show.
"To be moved, you have to be moved."
Before each performance, he shares a ritual with his band to ensure they go on stage focused and give their best. "It's wonderful to see that there are more and more families, more people, that my music is ageless," he acknowledges, convinced that the true connection with the audience comes from performing each concert with the same enthusiasm as the first.
The dreams that still remain
Despite achieving platinum records, massive tours, and a very strong connection with his audience, Nil Moliner admits that he still has many dreams to fulfill. Some of them even still make him feel a bit dizzy.
"Our minds work in such a way that as you accomplish things and reach goals, others appear," he reflects with a laugh. For the artist, this constant movement is part of life and also of his musical career.
She doesn't reveal what those goals are, but she makes it clear that they're still there. "I have many that I hope will come to fruition and that I hope I can share," she says.
Nil, who dreamed of singing in front of large crowds, continues to project new horizons, although now he does so from a reality that years ago seemed improbable.
A message for the Marina Alta
Before saying goodbye, Nil Moliner wanted to address the residents of Dénia, his fans, and everyone in the town. Marina Alta that await him this Friday at the La Marineta Festival.
"To all, as it is, we will be very happy, it will be a wonderful night, we will have many desires to share it with everyone and all of you, and always with the music per flag."
His message sums up the spirit with which he arrives in Torrecremada: a desire to share, to celebrate and to make music the meeting point of a night destined to be one of the great events of the Dénia festivities.
