*Ghouljaboy is the project of Jordi Arroyo, who debuted in 2019 with La Vendición and quickly stood out for his versatility between urban and alternative sounds. After his first mixtape and a hyperactive 2020 with El Rascal—featuring collaborations with artists like Yung Beef and Antifan—he surprised audiences with the double EP Ciudad Portuaria, which marked the beginning of a shift toward more hybrid sounds. That path culminated in Dreamcore (BMG, 2022), an album blending indie rock, post-punk, synth pop, and dreamcore, with over 15 million streams on Spotify. With later projects such as Playa Hosono (2022) and Oh No Syzygy! (2023), he continued to consolidate his distinctive style, reaching a new peak with Dante Technicolor (Mushroom Pillow, 2025), produced by Pat Jones, where he fuses urban influences and guitar-driven indie with a unique narrative universe within the Spanish scene.
