Jackeline Fabiola Rodas Valladares, also known as Fabiola Roudha was (born September 6, 1992), is a Guatemalan singer and songwriter who gained international attention by coming in third place on the reality show Codigo Fama Internacional. Several years later, in 2008, she was the runner-up in La Academia--Última Generación. In 2009, she was crowned the winner of El Gran Desafío de Estrellas.

From a young age, she demonstrated an aptitude for the performing arts, exhibiting interest in singing, dancing, and music. She speaks Spanish, English, and Italian. After she ended her contract with TV Azteca in 2011, she started creating her own musical concept. She wrote songs and released her project as "Fabiola Roudha".

In 2015, she released her first album, Esta soy yo, and her first single "Nada más que este blues" ("You left me nothing but blues"). This blues and pop-style single became a great success in México and Guatemala, so she released her second single "Dame tu amor" ("A little bit of love"), a song that fused soul and pop styles.

By July 2017, she had written new songs, and she started recording her second album, Más Allá, in October 2017. Más Allá includes seven songs (in Spanish), with soul, blues, funk, and pop influences.

Más Allá was released on July 25, 2018, in Guatemala, having a special guest, the Mexican producer, singer, and songwriter Aleks Syntek.

In support of her album Más Allá, Roudha embarked on a four-city Guatemalan tour, performing in Guatemala City, Antigua Guatemala, Sololá, and Quetzaltenango.

In 2018, Fabiola Roudha released "El amor no engaña" as the lead single from her album Más Allá. The song was promoted in Mexico, Guatemala, and later in Italy.

In 2019, Roudha promoted "Fuera del cristal," the second single from her album Más Allá, in Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States.

Inside La Academia

[edit]

La Academia was a reality show for singers 16 to 25 years old. Inside the house, students were taught singing, dancing, acting, and many different activities. The show was held over a four-month period. Each Sunday, a concert was held, and students were eliminated one by one. Inside La Academia, Fabiola felt very insecure. However, she was well received by critics in the majority of the concerts. Over the period of the show, Fabiola proved that she was a great performer and singer, and she made it to the finale, where she was runner-up to Maria Fernanda. Fabiola received many tasks during La Academia that took her out of her comfort zone, requiring her to perform in genres that were new to her.
