Spanish singer/songwriter Amaia Montero experienced ten years of chart-topping, award-winning success as the frontwoman of the internationally popular Spanish pop/rock band <a href="spotify:artist:4U7lXyKdSf1JbM1aXvsodC">La Oreja de Van Gogh</a> before embarking on a solo recording career, beginning with her chart-topping self-titled debut album in 2008. Born Amaia Montero Saldías on August 26, 1976, in Irún, Guipúzcoa, Spain, she joined the band Los Sin Nombre in 1996. Renaming themselves <a href="spotify:artist:4U7lXyKdSf1JbM1aXvsodC">La Oreja de Van Gogh</a> after the addition of Montero, the San Sebastián-based band was eventually offered a recording contract with Sony and proceeded to release a series of chart-topping albums: Dile al Sol (1998), El Viaje de Copperpot (2000), Lo Que Te Conté Mientras Te Hacías la Dormida (2003), and Guapa (2006). In 2007, after a decade of phenomenal success as the frontwoman of <a href="spotify:artist:4U7lXyKdSf1JbM1aXvsodC">La Oreja de Van Gogh</a>, Montero announced her departure from the band. The following year she released her full-length solo album debut, Amaia Montero (2008), on Sony BMG. Co-produced with the help of Claudio Guidetti, the self-produced, self-written, and self-titled album was an immediate success, topping the Spanish albums chart as well as the singles chart with "Quiero Ser." In 2011, Montero released the follow-up, simply titled 2. The album featured the single "Caminando". ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
