THE IBIZA EXPERIENCE A JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION
In Ibiza, Alci immersed himself in the island’s le- gendary club scene, forging connections with influential DJs and artists like Apollonia, AR- PIAR, and Ricardo Villalobos to name a few. The- se interactions were not just professional mi- lestones but personal triumphs, as he saw his music resonate with audiences on a global scale.
Inspired by the feedback on my releases, I made an impulsive decision. I quit my job on Tuesday, packed my bags, and boarded a one-way flight to Ibiza by Wednesday afternoon, I had arrived on the island, without a place to stay. I rented a car for the first six days and slept in it also using hotel facilities to shower and enjoy breakfast as if I were a guest. During my time in Ibiza, I immersed myself in the club scene.
On the First Monday at DC10 Apollonia played some of my tracks, and I had similar experiences with artists like Arpiar, Loco Dice, tINI, Enzo Siragusa, and others. I formed connections with these DJs sending them more of my music, and ultimately, forging friendships. It was an exhilarating experience to meet the entire island through the music that I had once wanted to abandon. I was on the dance- floor, surrounded by the emotional power of music, and I found an energy and passion that still drives me today.
Looking back, I firmly believe that the journey from releasing my first EP to moving to Ibiza for the summer was the key point in my career. It illustrates the power of perseverance, the importance of support for the craft, and the transformative magic of music.
Alci’s time in Ibiza was a period of intense growth and transformation. It encapsulates the raw, unfil- tered passion that drives many artists—an all-con- suming desire to create and share music, regardless of the sacrifices involved.
BALANCING HIS CAREER AND FA- THERHOOD
As Alci’s career progressed, so did his personal life. Becoming a father introduced new challenges, particularly in balancing the demands of a music career with family responsibilities.
“I know now as a father of two that everything is challenging, in every career form. But in reality, the struggle comes within yourself, with your self-reflec- ted existence. To reinvent yourself is the most normal thing in the world, and fatherhood is a specially big project where you have to adapt”.
“When from one day to the other someone who is mirroring yourself it sets you full scale out of com- fort. To resist that it makes it harder. The key is to be like a wave, just flow with it”.
It’s a lot easier and smoother after understanding the ‚ ”how to wave it’’. I had to realize that I had to adapt to my kid’s sleeping schedule. Instead of going to bed late just sleep at their time and wake up with them so you are fresh and ready for them.
