Spanish hitmaker Bad Gyal is giving fans an exclusive look at what a typical day on tour looks like, specifically how she spends the last few hours leading up to the show.
Born Alba Farelo Solé, the “Chulo” singer recently wrapped her 24 Karats U.S. Tour in Los Angeles, where she performed a sold-out show at The Novo. Before taking the stage, Bad gave Billboard a behind-the-scenes look at her tour stop, which includes glam and vocal training.
“This is our one typical office day,” jokes Alba Blasi, Bad Gyal’s manager of more than seven years.
“We’ve been together since the beginning,” Bad Gyal adds. The singer-songwriter also introduces Adriana Capellá, her tour manager and assistant. “We’re friends since childhood,” she says of Capellá, whom she met when they were just 8 or 9 years old.
After introducing her team — which also includes hairstylist Jesus Camacho and her makeup artist Venus — and getting all glammed up, she dedicates a few hours to creating social media content. “I’m the one who’s deciding which pictures I’m posting, like, I run all my social media. After that, I go back to my dressing room, I chill for a bit. I take my hot tea for my voice and then I do the vocal training,” Bad Gyal explains.
Bad Gyal’s 24 Karats Tour was in support of her debut album, La Joia, which translates to “the jewel.”
“I felt it was [the right] time when I had more experience in songwriting, in the studio, in choosing the producers, in the material that has been made, what’s better, what’s less important,” Bad Gyal previously told Billboard about the process of creating her album. “Over the years, you gain experience and you know yourself better.”
