Danish-Uruguayan singer-songwriter Alex Vargas joins Matoma in this episode for a raw, thoughtful, and often hilarious exploration of music, legacy, and creative freedom. From The Lion King in Denmark to a surreal guest appearance on Ted Lasso, Alex reflects on the unexpected turns his career has taken—and the quiet, deliberate decisions that have brought him back to a place of joy and artistic truth.

Their conversation dives into what it means to grow as an artist, why collaboration matters, and how Alex’s multicultural background influences his music. Whether it’s layering 70 voices for one track or learning how to take care of his own voice in the long game, Vargas shares stories full of insight, charm, and moments of real inspiration.

The song we made “Die Young" comes out Friday October 17th, listen here.
