Alba Farelo Solé (born 7 March 1997), known professionally as Bad Gyal, is a 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 her uploading an interpretation of Rihanna's "Work", sung in Catalan, to YouTube.[1] She continued to make music as an independent artist, releasing records like "Indapanden", "Jacaranda" and the popular "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, as well as Sound System: The Final Releases.[4][5] Her debut album La Joia was released in 2024.
Other ventures for Bad Gyal, besides music, include fashion and modeling; she made her runway debut at Andrés Sardá's Spring/Summer 2022 show at Madrid Fashion Week.[6] As for social activism, Farelo has been an advocate for gender equality, LGBT rights and social justice.
