David Civera

Civera was born in Teruel, in 1979. His parents are José and Pilar and he has two sisters, Sonia is older than David, and Andrea is the youngest. David studied Computer Studies and Communications but he preferred music and wanted to sing. His father traveled with him from Teruel to Valencia where David received solfège, guitar and piano classes twice a month.

He won a national karaoke TV show and participated in other TV programs (El sur de Jerez, Las estrellas del parque etc.). Then, in 1996, he took part in the TV show Lluvia de estrellas, where participants impersonated a fashionable artist. He impersonated Enrique Iglesias with the song "Experiencia religiosa". He failed to win this program.[1] However he was told he had his own style. Shortly afterwards, he made his only appearance on Antena 3's La parodia nacional where, assigned the artist name of "Lolo Pocholo," he once again impersonated Iglesias singing the parodied "Enriquito y su papá."

In 1997, he took part in a new TV show Canciones de nuestra vida, where participants covered old songs, and at the same time he released his first CD Hoy como ayer. However this CD failed to gain commercial success.

Later, he took part in other TV shows too. Eventually this led him to meet producer Alejandro Abad, who suggested him to participate in Eurocanción, the TV show used to choose the Spanish representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. He accepted and on 23 February 2001, he was chosen to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Dile que la quiero" (Tell Her That I Love Her).

At the Eurovision final that took place in Copenhagen, Denmark on 12 May 2001, he finished in 6th position, which has not been surpassed by consequent Spanish representatives as of 2019.
