Rosette

Picture this, you turn on the radio and you hear an infectious song. The vocals are sultry; the soul is reminiscent of your favorite Motown artist.  The song ends, but you keep singing the chorus. The melody won’t escape your head. You are inquisitive so you seek out who that artist is. You get a website address and when the browser opens you find a stunning beauty on your screen. You take a closer look, but you can’t figure out what ethnicity this gorgeous female is. Is she of African descent? Is she part Spanish? Guess what… she is Rosette.

Growing up in Vancouver, Canada, Rosette has lived through her share of trials and tribulations, to which she accredits to her natural writing ability. Rosette explains, “I try and write about what is real. If I’m going through something, I tend to use songwriting as my therapy. If I’m feeling good and I wanna dance, then I express myself through my party side. It’s important for me to express all of my emotions.”  From the club banger, “Uh Oh”, the smooth R&B groove of “Crushed”, to the heart wrenching “I Owe”, Rosette takes you on a true musical & emotional voyage through her life.
