I Am Roze

Not much about I Am Roze (they/them) is ordinary.

Coming from Louisiana, Roze's music career began when they were homeless, a few months after their house had been destroyed by hurricane Laura; Fred Again sampled one of Roze's instagram clips and used it for 2 songs on his second album.

A couple of years later, Roze's first live performance was on Later… with Jools Holland, their second was at the Royal Albert Hall a few weeks later, performing their song Definition Of Happy with Nitin Sawhney CBE to a stunned audience. Jools himself said it was the best performance he could remember.

Having already received critical acclaim from the NME, Line Of Best Fit and New Wave Magazine, Roze is set to release their 2nd project, Social Commentary, towards the end of the year; it's a beautifully emotional and thought-provoking body of work, which features production from a star-studded team of producers including Eg White (Adele, Amy Whinehouse) and Grades (Grammy Award winner – Dua Lipa, Stormzy).

It's no surprise that so many legends have supported Roze already, including Summer Walker, TImbaland, and even Ghostface Killah from the Wu Tang Clan requested to rap one of Roze's tracks, after seeing a tiktok.

Roze has amassed 830k followers on social media, by being their most authentic self; with a unique blend of brutally honest songwriting and jaw-dropping vocal ability, many people are already viewing Roze as a generational talent… Watch this space.

'When you come from where I come from, and this is all you've ever wanted to do, you show up to deliver. Complaining is for people with money, and I've got money to be made… I don't have time to complain.' – I Am Roze
