Rosalía Is Alive

ORIGIN
Fusing traditional flamenco music with modern influences, Spanish native Rosalia is revolutionizing what was thought to be dead. The Latin pop star is a talented singer, songwriter, producer, and, as of late, actress. Some of her most notable solo projects include “Malamente,” “Pienso En Tu Mira (Cap.3: Celos),” and “Di Mi Nombre (Cap.8: Extasis).” Her collaborative portfolio also contains many of her most successful works. Popular tracks include “Con Altura” alongside J Balvin, C. Tangana’s “Antes de morirme,” and J Balvin’s “Brillo.” To date, Rosalia has released 2 major albums: “Los Angeles” (2017) and “El Mal Querer” (2018). Her musical excellence earned her multiple Latin Grammy Awards and numerous nominations for coveted titles. Not limited to Spain, her music has crossed international boundaries, connecting her with some of the biggest names. Aside from music, Rosalia made her acting debut in 2019, appearing in the film “Dolor y Gloria” (Pain and Glory).

Real name Rosalia Vila Tobella, she was born on September 25, 1993, in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, Catalonia, Spain. Coming from a family of non-musicians, Rosalia quickly became an x-factor. At the age of 8, she received approval from her family after demonstrating impressive vocal abilities. By the time she turned ten, her entire life revolved around the art. She enrolled in music-intensive courses and would develop a love for flamenco music. To polish her skills, Rosalia began taking lessons from a flamenco instructor named Chiqui De La Linea. It wasn’t long before people started taking note of her unique talent.

CAREER
In the coming years, Rosalia participated in multiple festivals alongside other artists. Her talent took her music international, placing her in rarified air. In addition to her native country, she appeared in major venues in New York, Singapore, and Las Vegas, to name a few. She also established a massive social media presence from her constant upload of performance videos.

In 2017, Rosalia released her debut album “Los Angeles.” The 12-track project was produced by Raul Refree. Throughout the album, Rosalia can be heard voicing flamenco classics while adding a fresh spin on the “sacred” tracks. “Catalina,” her most popular single was well-received in Spain. With over 15 million streams on YouTube and Spotify, Rosalia was reviving sounds from the 1960s. On a whole, the album performed excellently. Its 40 million-plus streams on Spotify stand as a testament.

In November 2018, Rosalia followed up with her sophomore album, “El Mal Querer.” The project was produced by El Guincho and featured 11 tracks. This time around, Rosalia experimented further, threading the needle of the past with the present. Though some of her tracks were criticized as being everything except flamenco, her fresh sounds resounded amongst the younger crowd. “Malamente,” her leading song would be streamed over 200 million times in less than a year. It would eventually win the Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Song and Best Urban Fusion/Performance. Other notable tracks included “Pienso En Tu Mira” and “Di Mi Nombre.”

Throughout Rosalia’s short career, she accomplished a great deal. She is currently a signee of two music-giant: Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. She has performed in multiple countries and has developed a huge international fanbase. In addition to landing top spots on prestigious charts, her music has nominated her for various coveted awards. She has collaborated and connected with a staggering amount of top entertainers. This list includes Pharrell Williams, Diplo, J Balvin, Billie Eilish, C. Tangana, and Karol G, to name a few.
