Bad Gyal is ready for Prime time…
Prime Video has acquired a documentary film about the 27-year-old Spanish singer, songwriter, DJ and model, whose real name is Alba Farelo Solé.
Titled La Joia: Bad Gyal, the original doc follows Bad Gyal, exploring how she attempted to conquer the mainstream while her debut album was postponed for over a year for reasons beyond her control.
Known for her distinctive overall use of Auto-Tune, Bad Gyal has developed a strong cult following since her musical career began in 2016, with her uploading a cover of Rihanna‘s “Work“, sung in Catalan, to YouTube.
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.
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
Her debut album La Joia was released in 2024.
Vampire Films is making the film in co-production with Double Body, Entrelíneas and Nanouk Films.
David Camarero is the director behind the project.
La Joia: Bad Gyal will premiere on Prime Video at the end of this year.
