Rosalia

UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING GROUP has signed multiple LATIN GRAMMY winner ROSALIA to an exclusive, worldwide co-publishing deal.

The 26-year-old SPANISH  songwriter-singer-producer has become LATIN music'’s breakout artist of the year and a fast-rising global crossover success. Her musical style mixes a fusion of classic FLAMENCO training -- with urban rhythms, electronic beats, the lyrics of a poet and a strong interest in visual arts, fashion and choreography.

Commented UMPG Chairman/CEO JODY GERSON: “As an artist, ROSALIA is totally in control and manifesting her own destiny. Beyond writing, producing and performing her own songs, she has created a new hybrid of FLAMENCO music and is breaking cultural boundaries. You know greatness when you see it – when you watch ROSALIA, you know she is an important voice. She will undoubtedly have an extraordinary career and UMPG looks forward to supporting her journey.”

Added ROSALIA, “I want to thank JODY for believing and trusting me, as a composer it is an honor to have signed with UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING. I feel very happy to be part of this house that has so many artists that I admire and in this new stage in my career, I will give the best of me.”

Following a BEST NEW ARTIST LATIN GRAMMY nomination for her 2016 debut album “Los Ángeles,” ROSALIA’s  second album, “El Mal Querer,” was released last fall to critical kudos, and a #1 bow on the BILLBOARD LATIN POP ALBUMS chart. On the strength of six LATIN GRAMMY nominations and two awards for the single “Malamente,” and additional singles such as “Pienso en tu mirá,“ “Di mi nombre” and more, ROSALIA received numerous #1 picks for BEST ALBUM, VIDEO, SONG and NEW ARTIST in 2018.  

The first half of 2019 has seen ROSALIA with a collaborative duet on JAMES BLAKE’s new album, an appearance in PEDRO ALMODOVAR's  just released new film “Dolor y Gloria”, and the success of her recent single “Con Altura (with J BALVIN and EL GUINCHO).”  The  fusion of FLAMENCO and old-school reggaeton has already reached #2 on YOUTUBE’s GLOBAL MUSIC VIDEOS chart and been named as one of TIME’s “10 Best Songs of 2019 (thus far).”

Following her hugely successful COACHELLA performances, and having just dropped latest single “Aute Cuture,” ROSALIA is now set to appear at numerous EUROPEAN festival dates across the summer and will return to the U.S. for a LOLLAPALOOZA performance in AUGUST.
