Soraya Arnelas was born in Valencia de Alcántara, in the Spanish region of Extremadura, on 1982. Her career as an artist started in 2005, after she had become the most popular finalist of the TV show called Operación Triunfo. Before that, she was an air stewardess and since then, Soraya’s musical trajectory has been meteoric.
Her first album, Corazón De Fuego was a mix of Latin themes with other genres such as ballads and pop dance, which achieved Platinum Disc status in Spain in 2006. In 2007 the second album Ochenta’s was released and it contained versions of great hits from the 1980’s. Soraya was awarded a new Platinum Disc for this album.
After this success, one year later, she released Dolce Vita, with new themes of the best dance music. And in 2008, she recorded her fourth album called Sin Miedo with unpublished themes which consolidated Soraya’s own style.
Her 2009 Eurovision Song Contest entry is composed by Dmitri Stassos who is a dedicated composer, with many pan-European projects in the pipeline, together with fellow Swedes Jason Gill and Irini Michas while the lyrics are written by Felipe Pedroso from Spain.
