Self-made and eclectic to the core, IVAN$ITO crushes any box you might want to put him in. Born to Chilean immigrants in Denmark, Iván Lemus Barrales Spargo Martínez has traveled across fluid musical and cultural borders for his entire life.
As a preteen, his uncle introduced him to Boyz II Men; on visits to Chile, his cousins put him on to Daddy Yankee and Don Omar. He’d often spend a whole day watching performance videos of iconic bands like Earth, Wind & Fire with his father, mesmerized by the allure of the entertainment world. Enraptured by these diverse influences, he knew that his future lay in music, and while traveling back and forth between Denmark, LA and Chile IVAN$ITO has developed his music.
His new album ‘CONFUNDIDO’ was released in March and it’s his most impressive and versatile project to date. Its stories of infatuation and estrangement showcase IVAN$ITO’s capacious vision of Spanish-language music: ‘CONFUNDIDO’ luxuriates in a broad spectrum of sounds, dipping into elements of R&B, trap, reggaeton, flamenco, ballads, and beyond.
