Ramón del Castillo Palop is a Spanish solo singer best known for representing the state at the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul.[1]
Ramon was born on 3 May 1985 in Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, the youngest of three boys. He participated in the third season of Operación Triunfo (2003-2004), where he finished as the runner-up and, in a separate vote, was selected to represent Spain at the Eurovision in 2004 after Beth's eighth place finish the year before. It was his first major musical appearance - he had not been a recording artist before Operación Triunfo.
With the song "Para llenarme de ti" ("To Be Filled By You"), Ramon finished in 10th place with 87 points in the final, which was Spain's last top ten result until 2012, when Pastora Soler managed to finish in 10th place again, with the song Quédate conmigo.[2]
