Alba Farelo Solé (born 7 March 1997), known professionally as Bad Gyal, is Spanish singer, songwriter, DJ and model. Known for her distinctive overall use of Auto-Tune, Bad Gyal has developed a strong cult following ever since her musical career began in 2016, with an interpretation of Rihanna's "Work" in the Catalan language.[1] She continued to make music as an independent artist, releasing records like "Indapanden", "Jacaranda" and "Fiebre". Bad Gyal later released two mixtapes: Slow Wine Mixtape (2016) and Worldwide Angel (2018), which consecrated her as an emerging artist within the Spanish urban scene.[2]
Bad Gyal signed with Interscope Records and Aftercluv in 2019 and saw mainstream acclaim with songs like "Santa María", "Zorra" and "Alocao", the latter becoming the number-one song in Spain for 2019.[3] 2021 saw the release of her first project as a signed artist Warm Up, and The Final Releases.[4][5] Her debut album La Joia was released in 2024.
