Like many other artists, Rosalia developed a passion for music during her childhood. She had her first experience in singing at 7 when she was asked to sing in front of their family gathering. Two years later, she received a guitar as a gift from her parents, which inspired her to join Catalonia College of Music at 13.
The singer went on to develop an interest in flamenco, a popular music genre in southern Spain. She learnt it for eight years under the guidance of Andalusian musician José Miguel "El Chiqui" Vizcaya and graduated in 2017 with a bachelors degree in Flamenco and Music Production. Interestingly, Barcelona only accepts one person a year to study flamenco.
