Born in Barcelona to a German father and a Spanish mother, he became multilingual at a young age. He moved with his parents to Japan at age 10, staying there until age 17. He took piano lessons very early in Japan. Returning to Barcelona, in 2010 he established the musical band Urban Lights alongside his brother and some friends. The band continued performing music described as a mixture of British pop, indie pop and electronic music building following locally. They won a university music contest and the band appeared in 2013 on the Spanish music casting contest ¡Tú sí que vales! reaching the Final 8. They released some materials and self-produced album. Soler also pursued studies in industrial design at Escuela de Grafismo Elisava, also going to a music school and working with a modeling agency based in Barcelona.
Soler decided to drop the Urban Lights band in 2014 to go solo establishing himself as a musical artist based in Germany. Based in Berlin, he released his single "El Mismo Sol" co-written by Soler and Ali Zuckowski and Simon Triebel (from the band Juli) and produced by Triebel. The song released on 24 April 2015 became initially a huge hit Italy reaching number one on the Italian FIMI and certified double platinum. It also made it to number one on the Swiss Swiss Hitparade singles chart. The single became a pan-European hit for him charting also in Germany, France, Belgium, Austria and the Netherlands.
Based on this success, Soler released his debut solo album Eterno Agosto released on 23 June 2015 on Universal Music.
The first taste of this upcoming re-issue is the song and proper lead single called “Sofia“. The song was written by Alvaro Tauchert Soler, Simon Triebel, Ali Zuckowski, Jakke Erixson and Nadir Khayat (RedOne), who also produced it with his team. The music video directed by Noel Dernesch was filmed in Cuba in March, and it was premiered along the single’s release on April 15th.
El Camino
Alvaro Soler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El hermano del destino
Nunca solo me sentí
A mi lado el camino
He cambiado el rumbo sin sentido
En aquel momento no entendí
Yo pensé que me había perdido
Siempre ha estado allí
El hermano del destino
Nunca solo me sentí
A mi lado el camino
Subiendo la cuesta al horizonte
El bolsillo de polvo se llenó
Apariencias que tal vez confunden
Cicatrices cuentan que pasó
Cuando no supe seguir
El camino entendí
Y yo no pude explicar porque tenía
Que pasarlo mal, y no lo vi
Pero ahora sé que el destino fue
Es parte del recorrido
Siempre ha estado allí
El hermano del destino
Nunca solo me sentí
A mi lado el camino
A mi lado el camino
A mi lado el camino
Mi viejo amigo el camino
The lyrics to Alvaro Soler's song El Camino explore the idea of destiny and how it is intertwined with our lives. The song opens with the line "Siempre ha estado allí, el hermano del destino" which translates to "He has always been there, the brother of destiny". It suggests that the concept of destiny or fate is a constant presence in our lives, one that we cannot escape. The singer of the song then goes on to say that he has never felt alone because the road, or el camino, has been by his side.
The lyrics go on to describe a time when the singer felt lost and had no sense of direction. He thought he had lost his way but he came to realize that the road, which is a metaphor for destiny, was leading him in a different direction. The line "Cuando no supe seguir, el camino entendí" means "When I didn't know how to follow, I understood the road". This shows that sometimes we have to trust the path that we are on, even if it seems uncertain or unclear.
Overall, the song El Camino encourages listeners to trust in destiny and to believe that everything happens for a reason. It teaches us that sometimes we need to take a step back and let the road guide us, even when we don't know where it is taking us.

Siempre ha estado allí
The path has always been there
El hermano del destino
It's like destiny's sibling
Nunca solo me sentí
I never felt alone
A mi lado el camino
The path was by my side
He cambiado el rumbo sin sentido
I changed course aimlessly
En aquel momento no entendí
At that time, I didn't understand
Yo pensé que me había perdido
I thought I was lost
Al tratar de buscarlo yo vi
But when I tried to find it, I saw
Subiendo la cuesta al horizonte
Climbing up the hill to the horizon
El bolsillo de polvo se llenó
My pocket filled with dust
Apariencias que tal vez confunden
Appearances can be deceiving
Cicatrices cuentan que pasó
But scars tell the story of what happened
Cuando no supe seguir
When I didn't know how to keep going
El camino entendí
I understood the path
Y yo no pude explicar porque tenía
And I couldn't explain why I had to
Que pasarlo mal, y no lo vi
Suffer, and I didn't see it
Pero ahora sé que el destino fue
But now I know that destiny was
Es parte del recorrido
Part of the journey
A mi lado el camino
The path was by my side
A mi lado el camino
The path was by my side
Mi viejo amigo el camino
My old friend, the path
