He assures that his lyrics are nothing more than the fruit of day-to-day experiences, told in the first person and from an intense perspective.
He is not considered a typical singer-songwriter, but rather a soloist who is more comfortable backed by a band - in the style of Iván Ferreiro, Sidonie, Quique González, Leiva, Zahara, Sidecars, La MODA or La Cuarto–.For his part, Antonio Serrano is one of the most promising emerging artists in the Murcian music scene, a finalist in the Creamurcia 2019 contest.
