Alan Murín, known as Alan Murin, previously performing under the pseudonym Sane (* October 23, 1998, Bratislava, Slovakia) is a Slovak singer, composer, music producer and sound engineer. He has been active on the Slovak music scene since 2019, when he presented himself with his debut EP trilogy – 15 23, 23 10 and 19 98. In the same year, the singer Tina approached him about collaboration, after she discovered one of his first hits "Vypínam", which received a significant response. Tina called it one of the most important songs on the Slovak music scene. This success was followed by several singles, with which he gained the attention of a wider audience and gradually established himself as a prominent figure on the Slovak music scene with his musical ambition. In a relatively short career, he not only gained a wide fan base, but also received recognition for his original musical style, talent and creative approach from the artistic community, which opened the door to collaborations with several internationally recognized artists and producers. He has collaborated with interprets such as Kali, Rytmus, Ego, Separ, Majk Spirit, Tina, Pil C, Celeste Buckingham, Dominika Mirgová, ADiss, Momo, or the band Moja Reč. He also collaborated with foreign artists such as Raunii, IOVA and Serban Cazan. His long-awaited debut album Trueself, on which he collaborated with several Slovak artists, was released in 2022. The album was a success at the domestic level, when it debuted at the top of the Slovak albums chart of the Czech National Music Institute IFPI. In the same year, he won three awards at the Ruka Hore Awards and his debut took 2nd place in the Album of the Year category. In addition, he released four EPs. Among his biggest hits are the songs "Do Rúk", "Raz Dva Tri", "Dokola" and "Prepáč". He is actively involved in music engineering and production, while also writing his own song lyrics. It has productions in Great Britain, the USA, the Czech Republic and Romania. He produced songs for Dominika Mirgová, for example.

His music videos on YouTube often occupy the top ranks of the Slovak YouTube trending chart. It first reached its peak with the music video for the single "Prepáč" within hours of its release. He maintained this lead for several weeks. He dominated the YouTube trending chart again with the duet "Do Rúk" with Tina, even without a music video for the song. Thanks to the huge response, a music video was created for it, which is still the most watched music video of the singer's own work on the platform with more than 6.9 million views. The hit "Raz Dva Tri" succeeded to go trending on Slovak YouTube as his third one. Alan Murin's YouTube channel has more than 46 million views to date.

Alan Murin is known for his distinctive interpretation, authenticity and directness. His musical style and sound are influenced by a wide variety of musical genres, including pop, rock, hip-hop and electronic music. He himself classifies his work as New Pop, which, however, is based on a long-standing affection for rap. He has a distinctive style that combines modern sounds with honest lyrics, often exploring themes of love and personal experience. In addition to a very specific sound quality, his asset is his musical education. After two years of intensive work in the Slovak music industry, he became one of the most active Slovak performers. In a relatively short career, he has been able to put out more than forty music videos and was a guest on another fifteen.

Music career

1998 – 2019: Early life and musical journey

Alan Murín was born and raised in Bratislava. He decided to pursue music professionally toward the end of high school. He acquired a microphone, taught himself to use music production software, and began creating lyrics and melodies, which he compiled into demo tracks. In 2017, he started releasing these songs on SoundCloud under the pseudonym 'Sane.

After high school, he enrolled at the University of Management in Bratislava but left after a year. His dedication to music led him to an offer to study abroad.He applied and was accepted to the Point Blank Music School in London, where he pursued sound engineering and music production.

2019-2020: Early career and EP trilogy

In addition to studying in London, he started building his musical career in Slovakia. He bet on authenticity and started using his civil name as his artist's name. In June 2019, he founded the Trueself Records label and a month later signed a contract with Universal Music in Slovakia. He introduced himself to the music scene with his debut trio of genre-conceptual EPs (15 23, 23 10 and 19 98), which he gradually revealed as chapters. The names of the individual EPs represent the actual time, date and year of Alan's birth. Each of them contains three songs. All songs on the EP were produced together with him by producer from Scotland Charlie Leslie during the singer's studies in London.

He released his debut EP called 15 23 in July 2019, which he sees as the beginning of his musical career. The symbolism is even in the timing of the release itself, as it was officially released on July 23 at 3:23 p.m. (15:23 in 24-hour format). The EP can be characterized as New Pop, but it is heavily influenced by hip-hop. There are also songs on it that intertwine a wide range of different genres, such as pop, hip-hop, RnB, soul, DnB, dubstep, EDM or rock. The debut single "Sám Sebou" released in July had a successful start. A simple, authentic video clip with footage from the streets of Bratislava and London was shot to accompany it. In August, he presented the single "Vypínam" from the EP, in which he also confesses what family and home mean to him. The release of the debut project, in comparison with many other up-and-coming artists, enjoyed great success. Each song received tens of thousands of views on YouTube and streaming services.

In September, a second EP followed with the title, in which he mainly discusses the love of life and relationships. It is conceptually prepared in such a way that it brings the listener closer to his story from beginning to end. This time too, it is presented in different genres. Along with the EP, a music video for the song Život was released, which captures the beauty in the simplicity of life.

Even before the release of the third EP, on November 21, he performed live for the first time as the opening act of the Czech band Mirai at their concert in Bratislava.

In December, he closed his debut trilogy with a final EP called 19 98.

In April 2020, the music video to the 2019 breakthrough single "Vypínam" from the first EP was released. He decided to do so because this song gained the greatest favor and interest from the fans out of the entire trilogy of EP recordings. At the time, the song reached a total of more than 500,000 streams, and as a response to this a video clip was created. In May, the music video for the song "SR C" from the last part of the trilogy was released.

Thanks to three released EPs, the young musician presented nine songs in four months, which would be enough for a studio album. However, he gained the attention of fans and the media by gradually presenting his songs. Despite the success under Universal Music, through which he released three EPs, seven Slovak and two English singles, he still longed for artistic independence. In July 2020, he left Universal Music and started releasing under his own label.

During 2020, Alan released his first official single called "Telefonát".

2021-2022: Album preparation and stay in the United States

London was followed by another important chapter in Alan's musical career. At the beginning of 2022, he decided to explore his career options in the United States of America, specifically in the musically rich environment of Los Angeles. His proactive approach was evident upon his arrival in LA when he decided to reach out to locals directly on the streets. This unconventional way of networking led to more than 30 conversations during the first day. As a result of Alan's determination and initiative, he found himself in the recording studio that same evening. There he established a collaboration with local rapper Raunii, with whom he released the single "AYAY" during his stay in the US. A month later, he released his first reggaeton single - their second joint single "ELEY".

In April 2022, he featured together with singer Laris Diam on the song "Tam kam" by Peter Pann.

2022-2023: Trueself album

The expected album was announced in August 2022 by the pilot single "Sorry". The emotional track was well-received, trending on YouTube within hours of release and reaching the top of the Slovak charts, where it stayed for several weeks. It also ranked 5th in the ČSN IFPI Top 100 digital singles in Slovakia.

On August 26, 2022, he performed with his band at the Uprising Festival in Bratislava.

The album’s pre-sale began on September 22, 2022, accompanied by the release of the second single, "Lifestyle". In October, he followed the reggaeton single "Raz Dva Tri", featuring Kali and produced by Peter Pann. The accompanying music video, starring model Viki Frajková, quickly climbed Slovak YouTube's trending charts and was also picked up by radio stations, ranking 26th in the ČSN IFPI Top 50 Slovak radio singles chart.

Trueself was physically released on CD on October 22, 2022, and digitally on November 4, under his label Trueself Records. It was released under his own label with the same name TRUESELF RECORDS. The album includes 14 original songs and features collaborations with Slovak artists such as Rytmus, Separ, Ego, Kali, Celeste Buckingham and Tina. The album showcases a cohesive sonic style but also explores new musical directions. Following the album's release, he announced plans to release a music video for each track.

At the end of October, the single "Vamos Bombas" featuring Rytmus and produced by Call Me G, was released. The song was produced by Call Me G. In November, the music videos for the songs "Suave" and "1000 Básní" were released, the latter featuring Laris Diam. In December, the visual for the duet "Do Rúk" with Tina was released, achieving significant success and topping YouTube’s trending charts, even without an accompanying music video. In 2023, the single was also released on CD.

In March 2023, he released "Cesta je cieľ", a collaboration with French producer and YouTuber Ysos. The collaboration arose after Ysos, searching for international artists for a joint project, discovered Alan through Spotify’s TOP 50 artists in Slovakia.

The official album launch of Trueself took place on March 22, 2023 at the Nibble & sip house in the Zichy Palace in Bratislava.

In May, he appeared on two collaborations on Kali's album Banan in the songs "Srdce ako z kameňa" and "Kým ťa mám". In December, he featured on "Sóda", a dance track by Pokyman, the frontman of Medial Banana.

2024: A new era of sound and EP Love Is Cool

In February 2024, he released his first international single "Still Love You", on which he collaborated with the Romanian singer Iova and the renowned Romanian producer Serban Cazan. The single received airplay on radio stations in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Canada, and Romania. His second single of the year, "Dokola", released in March 2024, marked a stylistic shift in his music production. According to the artist, the song represents a turning point in his career, as he began experimenting with new genres and placing greater emphasis on production.

In March 2024, he joined Kali and Peter Pann's Retrostar Tour as a guest artist. The tour was preceded by the release of their collaborative single, Mám ťa rád, which they performed together for the first time during the tour's opening stop in Bratislava.

The singles "Povedz Prečo", "Animal Style" and "Srdcom Buran" followed. His next EP Láska Je Cool was released in June 2024. In September, he released the latest single "Domov".
