Interview: WIKIMAN – Identity, Reality, and the Future of Music –

With his latest LP, Sentir, WIKIMAN presents himself as far more than a Latin pop artist chasing attention. This interview reveals an independent musician deeply invested in truth, protection, and purpose. He opened up about the real-life stories behind Sentir, including regret, missed love, devotion, and emotional closure, while reflecting on how this album sharpened the narrative focus that was still taking shape on Sueño.

There is a strong sense of reverence running through his answers to his listeners and a respect and responsibility to the people whose experiences inspired these songs. For anyone curious about the human reality behind WIKIMAN’s music, this conversation offers plenty to hold onto.

What has building solid foundations for your music meant to you, and how do you handle protecting your vocal identity against AI?

Building solid foundations has been a priority to ensure that the Wikiman project has the professional weight required by the international industry. This involves not just releasing tracks and music videos to connect with my followers, but also keeping everything in order administratively and legally. Recently, I have faced the challenge of others using my voice through artificial intelligence, which has forced me to be very rigorous with my digital “fingerprint” and my copyrights. While it is a challenge, I understand it happens because my vocal tone is unique and appealing to those creators; however, my focus will always be to protect the integrity and authenticity of my sound so that listeners know what they are hearing is legitimate.

Which songs make up this new album, and what stories do they narrate?

The album SENTIR (released in March 2026) is a collection of real-life experiences transformed into music to document the human experience and accompany processes of closure. Each track is a detailed chronicle:

“Migajera”: Exposes the story of a girl in love with a guy who, in turn, is in love with his own best friend. It is a story about confusion and the weight of loving when affection is directed elsewhere.

“Te extraño papá”: Born from the request of a 49-year-old fan who sought to express his regret for not having been the son he wished to be. It is a piece about forgiveness and nostalgia.

“Faltabas tú”: A deep promise of absolute loyalty where I express that I will always be by that special person’s side.

“Llegaste sin avisar”: Documents the beginning of modern relationships, where a simple “hello” on a social network becomes the origin of a love story.

“Hubiéramos sido tú y yo”: Explores the melancholy of what could have been, remembering a February 14th that couldn’t be spent together.

“Amor en silencio”: A ballad that stands out for a subtle instrumentation starting with a soft guitar, narrating the constant devotion of someone who loves from the shadows.

This journey features the voices of Liz Manzo Avilés and Yestherlyth Arriaga Avilés, who add the necessary sensitivity to bring these cases to life with honesty.

If you had to mention something you didn’t manage to develop artistically in your previous LP, Sueño, what would it be?

Although Sueño (2025) was my first major professional step, in SENTIR I achieved a much more robust narrative cohesion. In this project, I was able to consolidate my decision to move away from commercial trends to focus exclusively on the storytelling of real-life cases. I feel that in this album, the production is meticulously designed to accompany the completion of emotional cycles, achieving a maturity and transparency in the narrative that was still in development during my previous stage.

For those discovering you for the first time through Sentir, what do you hope they take away after the album ends?

My greatest wish is for them to be left with the feeling that someone out there truly understands what they have felt. I want the listener to feel that their intimate experiences, however difficult or complex, are validated through my music. By narrating such human stories, I hope people find a deep connection and feel they are not alone in their process of seeking understanding and serenity. My music is a tool for each person to identify their own story and feel that their reality has been heard with integrity.
