Rosalía<br />

Singer, 26, ESP.<br />

Rosalía’s mix of flamenco and urban sounds<br />

has won widespread acclaim, and her<br />

willpower has inspired her many fans.<br />

Meeting a<br />

future star<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Bulletin</strong> writer Marco Payan<br />

remembers his interview with the then<br />

up-and-coming singer in early 2019:<br />

“By the time I left, I was changed. Her<br />

answers had a more significant impact<br />

on me than her six Grammys. She’s<br />

stuck to her rules all along: hard work,<br />

intuition, vision. She had such clarity<br />

on what she wanted to achieve. Rosalía<br />

backed up what she told me with her<br />

determination and actions, even after<br />

she became internationally famous.<br />

‘<strong>The</strong>re’s no plan B,’ she told me. ‘I gave<br />

my life to music. I’m not playing<br />

around—I’ve been serious since the<br />

beginning.’ ” Weeks later, she was on<br />

her way to becoming a star.<br />
