Omar Montes Says This Will Be His Final Year in Music

He cites disillusion with a “false” industry as his reason.

Overview

  • He announced his plan to step away during an interview on El Hormiguero, a popular Spanish talk show.
  • He said he no longer feels the same drive or joy, adding that he looks happy in public but does not feel that way inside.
  • He criticized the current music scene as fake and cutthroat, saying people advance by dragging others down and that so‑called friends stop calling when numbers dip.
  • He has not set a formal timetable or issued a retirement plan, and his statement came as an on‑air declaration rather than a legal move.
  • He remains active with a new remix with Juan Magan, a busy run of concerts, and recent family news about the birth of his second child.
