In 2010, with more than 10 years of experience behind them, five musicians came together to form IZAL. A band made up of Mikel Izal (vocals, composer, guitar, ukulele), Emanuel Pérez “Gato” (bass), Alejandro Jordá (drums and percussion), Alberto Pérez (guitar, Lap Steel) and Iván Mella (piano, keyboards, synthesizers ). Coming from different geographical locations, Madrid became their "base" of operations, which is why the name "Madrid band" has been highly honored since its inception, despite not being originally from the capital.
