Rosalia is a Spanish singer, songwriter, blogger. In 2018, they started talking about her as one of the most successful singers in Spain. Rosalia went through all the circles of "hell", but in the end her talent was highly appreciated by music experts and fans.
Childhood and youth Rosalia
The artist's date of birth is September 25, 1993. The childhood of a talented girl was spent in the colorful Spanish town of Sant Esteve Sesrovires (province of Barcelona).
She was brought up in an ordinary middle-class family. Her parents have nothing to do with creativity. Parents were sincerely surprised that such a talented girl grew up in their family.
Her father is Andalusian and her mother is Catalan. Despite the fact that the girl is fluent in both languages, she chose Spanish. Her choice is quite understandable - she wants her songs to be understood by as many people as possible. Being fluent in English, she rarely uses it in her tracks, preferring to speak about feelings in her native language.
Rosalia's creative path began with the fact that she fell in love with flamenco dance. From the age of 7, a talented girl arranged whole choreographic numbers for her parents. Since childhood, she heard traditional southern Spanish motives from everywhere.
Reference: Flamenco is the designation of southern Spanish music - song and dance. There are several stylistically and musically distinct flamenco classes: the oldest and the most modern.
“My parents and relatives are people who are far from music and creativity in general. Only I sang and danced a lot at home. I remember that once my parents asked me to sing a song at a family dinner. I have complied with this request. After singing the song, I noticed that all the family members were crying for some reason. Today I understand that most likely they understood that this was my calling. I am able to talk about important topics by singing.”
The education of the singer Rosalia
As a teenager, she entered the music school. After some time, the talented girl changed several more educational institutions. Good grades and efforts allowed her to become a student of the Higher School of Music of Catalonia. She took flamenco lessons from El Chico himself. She was incredibly lucky. The fact is that the teacher every year accepted only one student.
Around the same time period, she took part in the talent show Tú sí que vales. She failed to pass the casting. The judges considered that Rosalia's talent was not enough to make herself known to the whole country.
The artist did not give up. The talented Spaniard honed her vocal data not only in an educational institution. Since that time, she has performed at weddings and corporate events.
In 2015, she was seen collaborating with the prestigious brand Desigual. For the presented company, she recorded a cool advertising jingle Last Night Was Eternal. Then she devoted herself to teaching flamenco. She participated in the recording of the LP Tres Guitarras Para el Autismo.
The creative path of Rosalia
In 2016, a passionate Spaniard appeared on stage in front of several dozen spectators. The flamenco venue allowed the public to appreciate Rosalia's talent. The performance of the Spaniard was observed by the producer and musician Raul Refri. Later, he even sang with Spanish on the same stage.
Acquaintance grew into cooperation. In 2016, it became known that the artist was working on her debut album Los Angeles. The LP premiered a year later. Tracks performed by Rosalia sounded somewhat gloomy. The thing is that she raised not the most rosy topic, deciding to “talk” with music lovers and fans about death. In support of the LP, the artist went on a tour of the cities of Spain.
The debut longplay was incredibly warmly received not only by fans, but also by music critics. At the same time, she had really loyal fans. In general, such a bright "entry" on the stage was highly appreciated by admirers of top music. After that, the artist was nominated for a Latin Grammy in the Best Artist category.
The singer's second studio album
A busy concert schedule did not prevent her from starting work on her second studio album. During one of the speeches, she even told what the new longplay would be called. Ever since that time period, fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of El Mal Querer. The album premiered in 2018. Interestingly, six months before the premiere of the collection, she released the single Malamente, which eventually became the main hit of the album.
The piece of music was recorded in the original flamenco-pop genre. The melody and “smoothness” of the presentation of musical material have done their job. The track praised Rosalia, raising the profile of the Spanish singer.
The Malamente track was rated by world-class stars. In 2018, with this song, she was nominated for a Latin Grammy in as many as 5 categories. After the ceremony, she became the winner in two categories.
In support of the second studio album, Rosalia went on her first world tour. More than 40 times she went on stage. The artist also took part in a number of prestigious music festivals. In 2019, she received a Latin Grammy for her second studio album.
In 2018, the artist first appeared on the set. One caveat - the luxurious Spanish singer got a small episodic role. Her acting skills can be seen in Pedro Almodovar's Dolor y gloria. On the set, she managed to work with Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.
Rosalia: details of the artist's personal life
She prefers not to talk about her personal life. It is only known that in 2016 she began to build a relationship with the popular Spanish rapper C. Tangana. In 2018, Rosalia put an end to this union. The artist did not voice the reasons for this decision.
In 2019, information was published in several publications that the Spanish artist was allegedly in a relationship with Bad Bunny. The conversations were not unfounded. The fact is that the artist published a joint picture with the singer on social networks, signing the photo: “I think I fell in love.”
But, then it turned out that the guys are still not in a relationship. Rosalia officially denied rumors of a possible romance. Bad Bunny, who “seasoned” the post with a romantic caption, also denied the information, commenting that everything should not be taken literally.
Bad Bunny is not the only good friend of the Spanish singer. She maintains friendly relations with Riccardo Tisci, Rita Oroy, Billie Eilish, Kylie Jenner and others.
In March 2020, the beautiful Rosalia started dating Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro. She went public with her relationship on her birthday.
