Gisela (singer)

Her first album, Parte De Mí, came out in Spain in 2002, selling 260,000 copies in a few weeks. That year she also performed at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn as a backing singer for her friend Rosa López. In 2003, she won the award for best voice in the Viña del Mar International Song Festival and she won the competition with the song Este Amor Es Tuyo.

Her second album in 2003, Más Allá has five singles, including Más Allá (and Catalan version: Més enllà), the No.1 Sola and Amor Divino. Also in 2003, her version of Irene Cara's "What a Feeling" was included in a commercial in the United Kingdom.

Her father, Salvador Lladó Piquer (1940–2019) died of cancer in Barcelona.[1][2] Her manager is her older brother, Joan.

In 2020, Gisela performed live at The Academy Awards in Los Ángeles,[3] performing the Castilian Spanish part of the song Into The Unknown from Frozen II.

Her third album, Ni te lo imaginas, came out in 2006, under a new record label (Filmax, rather than Vale Music). There were four singles off the album, the first and the third becoming Gisela's most successful so far in her career. The first was Turu-Turu, a pop ballad reaching No.1 in Spain on its second week. Filmax released a Special Edition version of the album, including two new songs, the first called Mi mundo eres tú and the second, Viviré en tus sueños.
