Revelations from Antonio Carmona, Martin Urrutia, and Merche: how artists cope with their fears
Premios Dial 2026 — Unexpected recognition for artists and their personal stories
Three Spanish stars take on a music challenge: surprises for their fans
Three renowned performers — Antonio Carmona, Martin Urrutia, and Merche — participated in a unique musical test at Premios Dial 2026, held on March 12 in Tenerife. Their candid responses offered a new perspective on these artists, revealing how they handle professional challenges and private concerns. According to Divinity, the artists not only shared their musical preferences, but also spoke about how they deal with mistakes on stage and what music means to them outside of the public eye.
From the very start, the discussion touched on one of the most pressing topics for any performer — stage fright. One of the participants admitted openly to having experienced failed performances when his voice let him down on stage. Martin Urrutia, who became a favorite among viewers after ‘OT 2023’, also did not hide that nerves or illness have at times kept him from performing to his own standards. Meanwhile, Merche took a firm stance, stressing that for a professional, staying in tune is a fundamental requirement, and she does not tolerate mistakes in this regard.
Musical habits
When the conversation turned to hidden musical preferences, the artists surprised everyone with their diverse tastes. One shared that he uses music by a Brazilian performer to lull his grandson to sleep, another admitted a fondness for select Anuel reggaeton tracks. The third participant chose classics—Billie Holiday and Bruno Mars. These confessions revealed that even the most renowned artists don’t confine themselves to a single genre and find inspiration across a wide range of styles.
The question about whom they would dedicate a romantic ballad to brought unexpected reactions. Antonio Carmona said he is ready to share his warmth with loved ones, including family, friends, and even his manager. Martin Urrutia decided to joke and singled out the journalist conducting the interview, which prompted smiles from those present. In contrast, Merche declared she would dedicate the song to herself, emphasizing the importance of self-respect and inner harmony.
Personal stories and humor
The theme of heartbreak and ways to cope with disappointment in love proved equally engaging. One artist admitted that for him, the best support is the song “El punto sobre la i,” while another chooses the drama of “Sin ti no soy nada.” Merche took a humorous approach, naming as her breakup anthem the line “рata inmunda, animal rastrero,” making it one of the interview’s highlights. This attitude toward personal experience shows that even in difficult times, artists manage to maintain self-irony and a positive outlook.
A similar look at the inner world of performers can be found in other pieces, for example, the story of how Depol recovers after touring, also reveals unexpected aspects of musicians’ lives and their ways of coping with emotional stress.
Facts about the protagonists
Antonio Carmona is one of the most recognizable figures on the Spanish music scene, known for his unique style and longstanding career. Martin Urrutia rose to fame after participating in ‘OT 2023’, where his sincerity and charisma caught the attention of a wide audience. Merche, a native of Andalusia, has long established herself as a performer with strong character and a vibrant personality. All three continue to shape music trends and remain popular with fans across generations.
