Felipe Hernández Vélez

He was born in 1960 to an American father and a Spanish mother. His father's abandonment of the family has marked Hernandez Velez's work, with its recurring themes of loss and identity. In 1976, he moved to Mallorca for familial reasons. He had already started to write poetry, and received the Ciutat de Palma prize in 1981 for his first book of poems Crònica dels argonautes. He dropped out of the University of the Balearic Islands and became a school teacher in Sóller, a mountainous town in the north of Mallorca.

In 1985, he gave up his job as a teacher to focus on his novel Naturaleza, the writing of which took him three years. The novel was published by Anagrama in 1989, and was a finalist for the Premio Herralde. He published several more novels in the 1990s and early 2000s, since when he has concentrated much more on his musical career.[1][2]
