## History

Auryn was created in summer 2009. They first published cover songs on youtube and social networks, among others Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Los Secretos' "Déjame", and quickly became very popular. In 2011, they took part in a contest to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest. They reached the Final 3, but eventually failed to qualify.

Based on the popularity gained during the contest, Auryn published their first single in 2011 and their debut album , *Endless Road, 7058* later that year. The album was autoproduced and without help from any discographic company. After the success of this album in Spain, Auryn were signed by Warner Music who reeissued the ablum in 2012 with four extra tracks.

On November 24, 2011, Auryn perforemd as an opening act for The Wanted at their concert in Madrid. They also started touring themselves through Spain and Mexico.

From 2011 to 2014, Auryn organized annual camps called "MycampAuryn" in which their fans could share some days together with the band members and could receive music classes by them.
