ARTIST of the moment Rosalía has been nominated for three MTV Awards – less than a year after appearing on the mainstream music scene.
The flamenco-hip hop singer, 25, was completely unknown in 2016, but she has since built up an international following: US-based R&B artist Alicia Keys recently phoned her for help with her Spanish pronunciation recently phoned her to ask for help with her Spanish pronunciation for an upcoming new single, and British comedian James Cordenannounced on social media that he wanted her on his Late Late Show.
Rosalía has already designed and released a collection for budget streetwear fashion chain Pull&Bear – part of the Inditex empire – has duetted with Colombian Reggaeton singer J. Balvin, US rapper Pharrell Williams, of Happy fame, and British electro, soul and R&B artist James Blake, has been on tour across Europe and performed in major music festivals including Mad Cool and Primavera Sound, and is the first Spaniard to have been nominated for a BBC Sound of 2019 Award.
She has a Latin Grammy for Best Urban Fusion/Performance, another for Best Alternative Song – both for her first chart hit, Malamente – and was nominated for a third, for Best Short Form Music Video.
Rosalía made her acting début this year in cult director Pedro Almódovar's Dolor y Gloria ('Pain and Glory') and has announced a forthcoming duet with alternative-folk artist Billie Eilish, a US singer, songwriter and model of Irish descent.
