But what else is there to know about the talented singer?
Read on to discover the untold truth of Rosalia.
She continued, saying, “I didn’t know why, I just did it.”
Soon, Rosalia shifted her focus from chasing stardom to sharpening her actual craft and pursuing musical excellence.
Getting into the school was no mean feat, given that there were multiple applicants for only one spot.
She studied under the tutelage of famed flamenco performer Jose Miguel Vizcaya, known by his nickname El Chiqui.
To earn some money, she advertised her services as a vocal coach.
“But in the end, the classes I had with her were a pleasure,” he admitted.
Added Vizcaya, “She wasn’t hard work at all she went the extra mile.
Every week, she came to me with songs that were perfect.”
Rosalia’s first collaboration was with her then-boyfriend
In 2016, Rosalia collaborated with Madrid-based rapperC.
Tanganaon the track “Antes de Morime” (“Before I Die”).

In fact, her collab with Scott marked Rosalia’s first entry on the influential chart.
In April 2020, Rosaliateaseda long-in-the-works collaboration withBillie Eilish, leaving fans waiting in excited anticipation.
Obviously, this gal has no plans of slowing down anytime soon!
However, Kourtney isn’t the onlymember of the Kardashiansto embrace Rosalia.
TheKUWTKsiblings haven’t been the only celebrities to succumb to Rosalia’s onslaught of talent.
One thing’s for sure: Rosalia has fans (and friends) in high places.
Much like the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, it seems Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar is a big Rosalia fan.
In a November 2018 interview withPaper, Rosalia gushed about working with Almodovar.
Balvin and Rosalia spoke withThe New York Timesabout what went into creating the song.
After working on the song with her production team, the end result left her feeling seriously pumped.
“I was proud of it,” she revealed.
Added the AFGD, “That’s not being a feminist, that’s being a poseur.”
“I would say, it sounds horrible, I don’t like it,” she revealed.
“I began to appreciate her melodies,” Rosalia explained.
The songstress continued, “I realized she was unique.
She taught me many of the songs I know.”
We’re sure Blake is flattered!
When asked who her style icon was and why, the songstress had an immediate answer.
Rosalia continued, saying, “She was amazing back in the day.
Her attitude, everything, I love her.”
The Spanish singer also said her signature style and aesthetic had been influenced by flamenco dancerCarmen Amaya.
“I loved her,” Rosalia gushed.
Rosalia was also nominated for the coveted Best New Artist award, but ultimately lost out to Billie Eilish.
However, when video of their hijinks wound up on social media, they were hit with backlash.
“I adore Rosalia,” Madonna gushed.
She continued, saying, “She is incredible, really, because she is unique.”
However, she explained, the whole thing soon unraveled and became a giant, complicated mess.
Consideringhow much Madonna is really worth, there’s no doubt she could have afforded to book Rosalia.
However, she ultimately decided to celebrate a flamenco-free (and Rosalia free) birthday.
Maybe next time, Madge!
She continued, explaining she’d hoped to bridge the gap between electronic sound and “roots music.”
Never stop experimenting, Rosalia!
