I'm lucky to have grown up in Vancouver, on the Canadian Westcoast. If you know Vancouver, then you know I would have been rather inexcusably odd if I grew up anywhere else.
Its people are from everywhere, and it is a colourful city with rich international influences. Although I don't currently live there, Vancouver was the best place for this odd duckling to have wet her feet. I sometimes long for its rainforests and food - and I enjoy visiting when I can.
I was always the short one. The one who wore glasses and spoke computer. The one who spent more time in an auditorium, lighting booth and green room than is considered healthy. The one who ate with chopsticks more than with forks. The one who would smile and say 'Good Morning' in one of 10 languages, scaring many-a-stranger along any given sidewalk on any given day.
Growing up next to a cemetery, funeral home, and dance hall didn't help things either -- my perspective on life, death and the universe was rather intense for a short kid with glasses. Think Tim Burton, but as a blonde little innocent looking girl who had a slight crook in her glasses. I had a Sound of Music image, but with a very dark and twisted underpinning. Still do. Just in case you ever meet me. Nothing is too twisted.

I've always been a creative performer. Dance, Music, Theatre, Writing. All of the above. My ancestry had the musical and performance gene -- so it was natural for me at the age of 3 to hop onto the piano and begin plunking away melodies that I'd heard elsewhere.
Piano teachers initially didn't take me on cause my fingers were too small, but eventually I did find teachers and mentors along the way that guided me through to where I am today. And just like any professional, I keep pushing myself to learn more, grow more, challenge myself more, and fulfill my role on this little blue planet as best I can.
I recently packed up my studio in a UHaul and drove across Canada and plunked myself down here in South West New Brunswick, near ST. George and St. Andrews. I think every Canuck should drive across this land at least once - ANd I haven't even made it as far as Newfoundland yet! Will get there, eventually. Stopping here for now.

"Rose is an audio enigma of stunning proportions."
United Global Artists, Los Angeles
"Her contemporary arrangements distinguish her from a swarm of up and comers who all sound like they were cut from the same cookie cutter. And people have noticed."
P. Andrew, Pique Magazine
****************************************************
"Her music is lavish and full of vibrant descriptions and imagery... Her lyrics are sensual and extremely well worded, with a magnificent flow. The song, 'Shakin' my head has strong Pop appeal that the listener won't be able to get enough of... The emotion poured into the song 'Let Go' is truly gripping. The overall impact is attributed to the soulful performance..." - Judges from Song of the Year
