The Pasapalabra contestants have new allies to try to add as many seconds as possible for the final test of El Rosco. The four celebrities who visit the popular Antena 3 contest these days are Beatriz Rico, Daniel Huarte, Ivonne Reyes and Carlos Marco. Let’s get to know this latest guest a bit better.

Carlos Marco was born in Alicante in 1991 and soon began to pursue the dream of becoming an artist. Before reaching the age of majority, he had already appeared on several occasions at the castings of Operación Triunfo and Factor X without much success.

Shortly after, in 2009, he tried his luck by publishing the single I’m full of love, although it was his time at the local Valencian channel Ribera TV that gave him the first boost to his professional career. It was the year 2010 and Marco won the audience award for the program Al Só de la Ribera, which earned him to record a song in some studios in Madrid.

The man from Alicante would not take long to achieve the long-awaited fame, as soon as he joined the Auryn group, considered the most successful boyband in the history of Spain. Together with Blas Cantó, Álvaro Gango, David Lafuente and Daniel Fernández, they began making versions of famous songs to upload them to YouTube.

In 2011, Auryn took part in the pre-selection to choose the representative of Spain in Eurovision, finishing in second position. Despite not participating in the festival, the band continued to be successful, with four studio albums and nine tours.

The Auryn members announced their separation in 2016 and Carlos Marco resumed his solo career. A year later, he released his first album as a composer and singer, whose title is Chalk dreams.

The truth is that the artist has since found different projects. He has participated in dubbing for films such as Wreck It Ralph or Capture the Flag; he has imitated Soraya Arnelas in Tu cara me suena; He has been part of the jury of Family Duo, the first talent show of À Punt and has been the presenter of Mr Plinton, the children’s program of Neox Kidz.

Carlos Marco has earned a place on television talent shows. Not surprisingly, he has been an advisor to the casting team for Factor X and musical director for Mask Singer.
