Gala is a singer that the public had the pleasure of discovering in the 1990s. Since then she seems to have disappeared from the French media landscape. Many fans wonder what becomes of her. AmoMama brings you some answers.
During the 1990s, Gala, the singer of Italian origin, regaled the world with her songs, including “Freed from desire”, which made her famous. Like many other artists, the singer has disappeared from the screens much to the chagrin of his fans. Years later, she decided to break the silence.
AN EXCEPTIONAL ARTIST
Born Gala Rizatto, Gala is an Italian singer who was born in September 1975 in the city of Milan. At the age of 17, the young woman left her native Italy to go to Boston where she took classes at an art school. She even managed to graduate in 1993 from the Tish School of the Arts.
Apart from singing, the young woman also practices photography. She makes New York’s nightlife her hunting ground. She meets a DJ who asks her for a demo, that’s how she gets involved in music. At just 20 years old, she had her very first success and quickly reached the heights of the hit parades.
His sense of rhythm, his hoarse voice, his dancing style seduce the fans. In 1996, his song “Freed from desire” was the most popular hit in the world. In the four corners of the world, the fame of the young girl takes on another dimension. What is happening to him is almost unreal. She happens to be giving concerts all over the world and the adulation of her fans knows no bounds.
Little by little, the singer became discreet. However, during the opening of the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Gala put on a memorable show. A few years ago, the singer who retired to the United States and more specifically to New York, decided to create her own brand. This one, Matriarchy Records promotes women.
According to the singer, to say that she is missing is an exaggeration. In an interview she gave to Le Point newspaper, the 40-year-old said the music industry was quite difficult for a woman her age. However, she continued to write, to create new songs, just in different musical styles.
MACHISM GALA
The writing is an essential point in the music of Gala. She stands out from other pop singers, because unlike most of her sisters, she writes her own songs, and this, since the beginning of her career. Gala is constantly trying to prove itself in an industry that is still majority controlled by men.
The singer even had to deal with malicious individuals. She can no longer count the number of producers who met her in hotel rooms. And if she didn’t want to give in to their whims, they were quick to cut off all contact, declaring that they couldn’t work with her.
For the artist, the observation has always been obvious, women are treated less well in the musical world than men. However, whenever she dared to ward off it, people would look down on her, telling her that she was bitter, but they begin to realize that it is true.
Gala has had to deal with a lot of macho behavior during her life. Already in her early days in the 1990s, she often found herself being the only woman in meetings, and others spoke of her as a product and not as a person.
It should be noted that the fact that she was not inclined to flirt often destabilized her interlocutors. The singer has found more serenity in the United States where she is currently playing.
