An interview that dispels myths and injustices. Among these, the gossip that says so Isabel Aaiún (Segovia, 1987) is precisely the ‘wild filly‘. The Segovian artist is more than the success of a songshe is a woman who stumbled into music by chance and who now gives free rein to her creativity with a songbook imbued with a very national sound. In the meantime, he continues to tour across the country.
-In a world full of stimuli, where the viral triumphs at the expense of the lesser-known, what do you think of people who only know you as “the wild filly”?
-It doesn’t seem bad to me, people have to get to you one way or another. The song “Potra Savage” is like a business card for many people to know what I do. “This is what I sing and if you like it, come and see the rest.”
-How would you define your music to someone who hasn’t listened to it other than your ‘hit’?
-The music I make is old fashioned music, but brought to the moment we are in. It’s something that, in my opinion, is surprising, because it’s not something you hear a lot and in the end you like. So I would tell you to take a look because you will hear something that will surely surprise you, I don’t know if for better or for worse, because there will be tastes for everything, but it won’t leave you indifferent.
-In an age where artists create songs with audience reception in mind, you create a style of music that isn’t what gets listened to the most. Without looking for fame, he found it.
-Nothing was ever expected from this project. It is a project born from the heart and was never made with a purpose. Of course, of course everyone likes the world to hear them and reach the top, but when I started making songs I was a horseman and I got into horseback riding. I wasn’t a singer and I did it because I liked it and because I felt like it, without expecting anything from others.
-At what point did music come to you?
-Music has always been a ‘hobby’ for me, it was very present at home. My grandfather was a super singer, my father played guitar with his friends in a band, I have a cousin who was a saxophonist… So I always had music a lot on my mind. One day, my friend Pablo Mora, from Lagarto Amarillo, told me “hey, sing me this song with my voice”, one of his songs, and he loved it. That made people start asking “who is that girl? Where can we listen to her alone?”, and that girl didn’t exist, she just came by and did a collaboration.
There Pablo thought that we should make a song in which I sang alone, a song that took two years to come out because, overall, no one was waiting for us. And the impact made me start to reconcile my profession as a pilot with my own hobby of music until finally, in November last year, I had to give up horse riding because I couldn’t combine the two things.
“Nothing was ever expected from my musical project, it was born without any pretense”
-Does it make you dizzy to have managed to make yourself known to the whole world overnight?
-No, do you know what’s happening? I’m not a person who thinks about it a lot. I live in the moment and don’t stop to think about how I got here, I adapt to the circumstances. The main change in my life, besides having changed jobs, is that I now travel a lot more and that people recognize me on the street. But otherwise not much has changed either. I continue to do the things I like with the people I love. I didn’t buy a house in Miami, as many people say (laughs).
-If by chance in the future you were to leave music and return to horse riding, would you feel it as a defeat?
-At all. Riding a horse is the thing I like most in the world. If I had to choose between never riding a stage again or never riding a horse again, I would choose never riding a stage again. I like singing and I have a lot of fun, but for me the horses are above all. It wouldn’t be a defeat, it would be farewell to a beautiful journey that no one expected.
-At a time when Spanish society is so divided, you managed to unite it with just one song.
-It’s something impressive. Eventually you think, “Could this be a hymn?” wild filly It has a very positive message interpreted by good vibrations. It’s about forgiving, moving on, empowering yourself… Who hasn’t needed to feel that way at some point? Everyone needs extra motivation in life and if this song can help in any way, welcome.
