Resilience is at the heart of Chadia Rodriguez’s meteoric rise. A former youth soccer player with Juventus forced to retire by injury, the Turin native quickly reinvented herself as a rapper, releasing her debut record at the age of 20. Her songs speak of strength in the face of turmoil—especially the hard-hitting “Sarebbe comodo”, which tells of her troubled childhood and the gritty, unflinching “La voce di Chadia”. Colourful instrumentation, fizzing trap beats and vivid synth lines imbue Rodriguez’s sound with an irrepressible energy that she’s made her signature.
