Her family was in Barcelona and has been called an "atypical pop star" due to her many musical styles. She was attracted by Spanish folk music at the age of 13 years old.

Reimagining flamenco through mixing it with hip hop and pop music, it spawned the hit singles "Malamente" and "Pienso en tu Mira", which caught the attention of the Spanish general public and were released to a wide praise from critics. The album was awarded the Latin Grammy Award for Album of the Year and listed in Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, El Mal Querer started the ascent of Rosalia into the world music scene. Rosalia's 2019 albums "Con Altura" (13) and "Yo x Ti Tu x Mi" (12-13) were pioneers in urban music and achieved global success. Her third album, Motomami (2022) she gave reggaeton a fresh twist, departing slightly from the original flamenco vibe. Its singles "La Fama" and "Saoko" were able to capture the attention of global audiences and received the highest-rated album on Metacritic. In her entire career, Rosalia has accumulated ten number-one singles in her home country, which is the highest number for an artist from the country. Two Grammy Awards, eleven Latin Grammy Awards (including 2 Album of the Year wins), four MTV Video Music Awards and three UK Music Video Awards have been awarded to Rosalia. Rosalia also won two Premio Ruido Awards. Billboard has awarded her the Rising Star Award in 2019 for "changing the music scene of today through her flamenco-influenced pop"[18[18].
