Abstract: This article explores the intersection of jazz and migration in Spain through the life experiences of four Andalusian jazz singers. A biographical approach was employed to investigate the meanings these singers attribute to migration based on their professional trajectories. The study reveals the dual role of migration as both a necessary step for artistic development and a reflection of broader cultural dynamics. Through life narratives, the challenges faced by these singers are discussed, while highlighting the transformative potential of these experiences. The research also engages with theoretical debates on biography as a method, reflecting on the particularities of this form of writing within the field of music studies. Finally, the study seeks to demonstrate how biographical narratives can provide insights into broader social phenomena.
