A Quarantine-Born Phenomenon

They began livestreaming intimate performances on their social media platforms, sharing their soulful melodies and poignant lyrics with a growing audience.
"Days of Our Lives": A Global Anthem
Among their early compositions, "Days of Our Lives" stood out as a particularly resonant anthem. Its introspective lyrics and uplifting melody captured the collective emotions of a world navigating uncertainty and isolation. The song rapidly spread through the internet, accumulating millions of streams and becoming a symbol of hope and resilience.
Breakthrough and Recognition
STAY HOMAS's undeniable talent and the global appeal of "Days of Our Lives" quickly caught the attention of the music industry. They signed with Sony Music and released their debut album, "Catalunya Blues," in 2021, which featured the aforementioned hit single. The album showcased their eclectic musical influences, blending folk, blues, and pop elements with Catalan folk traditions.
Challenges and Controversies
Despite their meteoric rise, STAY HOMAS has not escaped controversy. Their lyrics have been criticized by some for their political undertones, particularly their support for Catalan independence.
