El Caplan is a Los Angeles-born singer/songwriter and producer known for his rich, baritone voice and reverb-soaked western guitars. Blending Americana, old-school rock & roll, and Latin alternative, his sound reflects his roots with an American session musician father and a Mexican mother from the narco-run Culiacán, Sinaloa. A seasoned studio veteran, El Caplan has worked as a session musician and producer for artists like Dr. Dre, J. Cole, and Anderson .Paak before stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist.

His debut EP, Our Lady, the Queen of Angels, co-produced by Grammy-winning producer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell), blended Americana and retro indie rock with cinematic storytelling. Each track painted a vivid portrait of love, loss, fame, and self-destruction, filled with neon lights, desert highways, and the ghosts of the past. Alongside the EP, his Latin classic covers of Selena's "Como La Flor" and Los Ángeles Negros' "Y Volveré" earned spots on Spotify's New Music Friday Latin, showcasing his ability to honor tradition while adding a modern twist.

His new single "7 Lives" kicks off his upcoming EP, Cradle to the Grave. He wrote it after walking away from two rollover crashes, and the song shakes the wreckage off like dust. For fans of Dire Straits, Chris Isaak, and The Lone Bellow.

He celebrated Our Lady, the Queen of Angels with sold-out headlining shows at Permanent Records Roadhouse (with Nathan Jacques and Los Caramelos) and Eastside Luv (with The Tone Slingers), and will continue releasing new music and performing throughout the Southwest in 2026.
