Why I Started Mitxoda (Without Even Knowing I Did)

In February 2024, I started something I didn’t plan. No roadmap. No long-term strategy. Just the urge to create, intensely, honestly, and without compromise.

That’s how Mitxoda was born. Not from ambition, but from necessity. I wrote, composed, recorded, and masterized everything in a row. One track after another. Some days, the ideas poured faster than I could catch them. Within a few months, I had nearly 20 finished songs, and more are still coming. It felt like I had opened a hidden room in my soul and music had rushed in, unstoppable.

And then… people started to listen.

Without any label, playlist machine, or industry tricks, Mitxoda began to grow. In less than a year, I gathered close to 2000 followers on Facebook. Not bots. Real people. Listeners. Indie artists. Curious souls. And that’s what fueled everything that came next.

I launched the Mitxoda Weekly, a newsletter that now connects around 300 subscribers from all over the world. Every week, I share indie music discoveries, stories behind my tracks, and the faces behind the movement. It’s not a fanbase, it’s a true community.

Then came the radio. In just a few months, and thanks to OTAT247, I created and hosted six episodes of my new radio show “Le Salon Indie de Mitxoda”, entirely in French. Each episode is a dive into what the indie world sounds like when it’s unfiltered, poetic, and true. And it’s only the beginning.

Mitxoda is growing fast, but it remains grounded. I never wanted to become an influencer. I wanted to create a space where indie music can breathe, and artists can connect. Where songs are NOT content. Just emotions, protests, secrets, confessions.

So, if you’re reading this, thank you. You’re already part of it. Whether you make music, support it, or just need something real to hold onto, welcome to Mitxoda.

This is part of my story. It could be yours too.
