WHO: Rels B
WHAT: FLAKK’S TOUR 2022
Produced by Live Nation, the eight city tour kicks off on May 11th in Chicago at the House of Blues making stops across the U.S. in New York, Atlanta, Miami, Silver Spring, Los Angeles and Dallas before wrapping up in Houston on May 29th at the House of Blues.
Rels B (aka Rels Beats, Daniel Vidal, Flakk Daniel, and Skinny Flakk) is a Spanish rapper, songwriter, and producer who built his large Latin American and European fan bases through his extensive use of social media platforms, and in turn, he became a globally charting artist. His style includes a wide range of international influences that vary from song to song, from trap and reggaeton to funky Latin soul and Spanish folk styles and rock & roll. His clever, imaginative, and ever-evolving style is anchored by his trademark, smooth, sensual, laid-back delivery, as evidenced by the hit singles “Made in Taiwan,” “Tienes El Don,” “Mary Jane,” and “A Mi.” He writes his music based on personal experiences; the lyrics in Rels B‘s very personal music expose his life experiences, development, and evolution, making it easy for listeners to relate.

About Rels B
Born in Palma de Mallorca, Daniel Vidal began working on producing his own and others’ mixes as a pre-adolescent. At age 20, he changed the game and decided to appear behind the mike to illustrate his catchy mixes. As a rapper he was mentored by veteran producers Itchy and Buco Sounds. His 2014 debut EP, Change or Die, gained notice across social media networks, particularly YouTube and SoundCloud. His independently issued debut album, 2015’s Player Hater, precipitated a series of charting singles including “Re-member,” “Taiwan” (an international club hit), and “Money Maker. His sophomore long-playing effort, Boys Don’t Cry, capitalized on that success and entered the Spanish charts at number 12. 2017 saw the release of the four-track Neuva Generacion (with Indigo Jams) that included the single “A Solas.” He dropped five more club smashes that year including “Libres,” Rock & Roll,” Girlfriend,” and “El Mejor.” The full-length Ineditos offered punters the single “Skinnyflakkkkkkk” and the Fender Rhodes-saturated “Hood Girl.” The success of his videos and social media singles further enamored Rels to listeners, and given his expanding reputation, he was able to tour Spain and most of Latin America.
In 2018, the rapper released his third official album, Flakk Daniel’s LP, that delivered another pair of club hits in “Lejos de Ti” and “Es Mejor.” Its mixes juxtaposed Latin soul and trap, with a tuneful musicality unparalleled in Spanish music. Rels B continued making music along this path, though, as usual, his mixes are built these tenets as well as Caribbean rhythms to stretch the aesthetic to the breaking point.
He kicked off 2019 with the low rider anthem “Hey Shorty.” The slippery, sultry, laid-back “A Mi” followed in February. “Ballin” melded jazzy soul and Latin trap, and appeared in April, followed by the charting “Mejor No Nos Vemos” in May. In July “¿Come Te Va, Querida? (feat. Don Patricio) peaked on the Latin streaming charts at number five, laying the ground for the salsa-fied soul single “La Latina,” that reached number four. In early October, Rels B issued the pre-release single and video “Orgullo” that rang up 11 million views during its first couple months, bringing his single video streaming totals to more than 350 million views (catalog-wide). Issued in the middle of October, his fifth long-player, Happy Birthday Flakko, charted in seven Latin American countries and Spain.
