BIOGRAPHY

núria rossy

Núria Rossy (Barcelona, 1967), trained as a historian, is a composer, lyricist, singer and versatile artist, born into a family of musicians and creators.

In the Rossy household, there was always a piano, a guitar or an accordion ready to be played, as well as a space to get messy with paint or clay. From her father, she inherited a love of music and philosophy; from her mother, a passion for painting, ceramics and theatre, along with a constant desire to stay connected to nature. This background has shaped her way of understanding life and Art.

In 2010, she released her debut album, Sobre la marcha, with a jazz-influenced, intimate style, joined by renowned musicians such as Jordi Bonell, Jordi Gaspar and Roger Blavia.

In 2016, she released the single Ressorgiré as a prelude to her next album, Alegría, which came out the following year and took her on numerous performances across Catalonia.

This coming autumn, Núria Rossy will present her new album and book, COLOR: el canto de lo sutil, which also marks her debut as a writer and artistic director.

In COLOR: el canto de lo sutil, the short stories and poems that accompany her songs blend with visual art—through works by artists in her circle who have inspired her—and with the book’s carefully considered design. Rossy conceived and developed the project over more than seven years, while also raising her children and working as a teacher.

She produces her own albums, performing her own songs, and enjoys giving each of them a distinct identity while keeping an acoustic, natural sound. This approach connects her work with Mediterranean and Latin musical traditions, while her melodies—closely tied to her poetically charged lyrics—have led others to place her within independent music and the singer-songwriter tradition. The harmonic language in her work may stem from her brief jazz training at Barcelona’s Taller de Músics, her harmony and composition classes with Manel Camp (1998–2000) and Pep O’Callaghan (2004–2005), or her love of both jazz and classical music.

In COLOR: el canto de lo sutil, she champions the value of a slow, deliberate creative process, giving space to each experience that calls to be told. And Núria Rossy has much to share.

She is currently preparing the tour for COLOR: el canto de lo sutil while finalising her musical novel, Entre cafetales, due for release in 2026.
