ATTILA MENDEZ
Love in the age of la migra
ATTILA is a French singer-songwriter and producer currently residing in MIAMI. He sings in English, Spanish and French with sprinklings of Lingala and Catalán. His songs are heavily influenced by his experience of migration. ATTILA is also the founder of the inter-cultural super-group Bondeko, to which he adds his voice and the sound of braguinha.
His influences come from his childhood environment: hearing classic French Pop and Algerian Raï on the radio, the early rock and roll and soul records his mother would blast daily. His voracious appetite for new sounds make him an avid listener of international pop and traditional music.
ATTILA is also a TEDx speaker and consultant on the topic of inter-cultural leadership, an immigration activist, a street artist and the founder of a social enterprise training immigrants in the trades.

“¡Es una chulada! ”
“No solo es una canción pegajosa, sino también un ejercicio de liberación emocional. Attila Mendez nos invita a reclamar nuestro espacio mental y a dejar ir a esos inquilinos indeseados. Con un estilo único y una temática poco explorada, “Collect The Rent” promete ser el puntapié inicial de una carrera solista llena de sorpresas.” - Oliver Zurita
“Capturando la angustia de ya no sentirse amado y dejar ir a quienes le han lastimado. La interpretación desgarradora del cantante, nos deja asombrados para después destallar con la combinación de soul, guitarra clásica y electro-pop que crean una atmósfera auténticamente única y perfecta donde los permite liberar las emociones para superar el dolor y dejar ir a esa persona amada. Sin duda, esta joya es algo que no puedes perderte. ” - Paloma Jazmín
