ROSALÍA

Rosalia was born in 1992 in a hospital in Sant Cugat del Vallès, but grew up in Sant Esteve Sesrovires. Her father was from Asturias, with Galician roots and a Cuban grandmother. Her mother worked in metal window manufacturing. Although she didn't come from a musical family, she was fascinated by music from a young age, especially the work of Camarón de la Isla. At 14, she fell in love with Spanish folk music and started studying music at the Taller de Músics. There she spent six years, and then went to the Raval school, eventually finishing at the Superior School of Music of Catalonia.

In 2017, she finished her studies with honors, thanks to her first album with Raül Refree, Los Ángeles, and her second album, El mal querer. That second album mixed flamenco with pop and hip-hop, and released songs like "Malamente" and "Pienso en tu mirá". They received good reviews and people started paying attention to her. The album won a Latin Grammy and was included in the list of Rolling Stone as one of the best of all time. That was the beginning of her rise.
