Spanish singer-songwriter Rosalía recently shared her experience with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) during an episode of the popular internet talk show SubwayTakes. In a candid conversation with host Kareem Rahma, she discussed how the condition affects her daily life and creative process.
During the interview, Rosalía mentioned her struggles with distractions, stating, “I get so distracted with sounds.
