Life and career[edit]
1993–2016: Early life and career beginnings[edit]
Rosalía was born on 25 September 1993. She began her professional musical formation at age 16 at the Taller de Músics in Barcelona, Spain.[5] She did a 6-year course at the academy. She began attending class at the Raval school. Due to her high grades and multiple recommendations, she transferred to the Superior School of Music of Catalonia in order to finish her course.[6] There she received lessons from Chiqui de La Línea, a flamenco teacher who only accepted one student per year.[citation needed]
At 15 years old she competed on the television show Tú sí que vales, although she wasn't selected. Rosalía worked as a duo with Juan "Chicuelo" Gómez at the 2013 Panama International Film Festival and at the Festival Grec de Barcelona for the contemporary dance work De Carmen. In 2013, she participated in the Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) Conference in New York, and was the lead voice in the culmination of the Año Espriu 2014 at the Palau de la Música. In 2015 she collaborated with La Fura dels Baus on a show premiered in Singapore. She was the opening act for Catalan flamenco artist Miguel Poveda, accompanied by Alfredo Lagos, at the International Music Festival of Cadaqués, and also at the 2016 Jerez Jazz Festival. She worked with Rocío Márquez on the presentation of her album El Niño, produced by Raül Refree, at Primavera Sound 2015. In 2015, she also worked with clothing brand Desigual and sang the single for their 2015 campaign jingle "Last Night Was Eternal".[7] That same year, she released "Un Millón de Veces". The song was part of the benefit album Tres Guitarras Para el Autismo. All proceeds benefited studies on autism.[8] Through her teenage years and early twenties, she performed in musical bars and weddings.[9] At age 20 she worked as a flamenco teacher.[10]
In 2016, she collaborated with Spanish rapper and former boyfriend C. Tangana on "Antes de Morirme".[11] The song was a sleeper hit and entered the Spanish Singles Chart in 2018, after the success of Rosalía's other work. The collaboration received international attention when it was featured on the soundtrack of the first season of Spanish Netflix show Élite (2018).[12]
