Xoel Lopez

Xoel Lopez, who occasionally performs under the moniker Deluxe, is an alternative rock musician from Spain who first rose to notoriety as a member of the Spanish psychedelic pop group, Elephant Band. Though Elephant Band had noted critical success and viable mainstream popularity in the Iberian Peninsula, after suffering from the trappings of group dynamics, Lopez struck out on his own and launched a solo career that began with his 2001 debut LP, Not What You Had Thought. The Spanish singer/songwriter has been fortunate enough to maintain the fan base he helped cultivate with Elephant Band, and he has even managed to pull new listeners in throughout many countries in Central and South America.
