Latin star will receive inaugural Producer of the Year Award

Billboard has announced that Rosalía will be honored with the inaugural Producer of the Year Award presented by Bose at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards on Wednesday, March 1st at the YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles, CA. Hosted by Golden Globe and Emmy-Award winning writer and actress Quinta Brunson, the Billboard Women in Music Awards will recognize music’s rising and A-List artists, creators, producers and executives for their contributions to the industry and community.

Rosalía is a 12-time Latin Grammy and Grammy Award-winning artist who leapt to the forefront of the global pop landscape on the strength of her innovative musical fusions and distinctive style. She has repeatedly shattered barriers for both female and Spanish language artists. Rosalía’s phenomenal vocal capability perfectly meshes with her fusion of classic Flamenco and other timeless music styles of Spain, with R&B, hip hop, contemporary Latin American rhythms and electronic beats. Coupled with Rosalía’s strong influences from industrial visual arts, female empowerment, fashion and choreography, her 2018 album El Mal Querer became a boundary-breaking modern masterpiece.

As a result of the album’s long-running impact and other 2019 singles that followed, Rosalía garnered a Grammy Award, the historic first-ever Best New Artist Grammy nomination for a Spanish language artist, and eight Latin Grammys, including Album of the Year. Additional acclaim included two MTV VMAs, highly praised Coachella and Lollapalooza festival appearances, the most watched global YouTube video of 2019 for a female artist, and Best Music of the Decade picks from a variety of outlets.

The Grammy-award winning Motomami album came out to great critical and commercial acclaim. She had a massive world tour to support the album throughout the US, Europe and Latin America.
