Roze McQueen is an unlikely singer songwriter who meets the world head-on. She is blessed or possibly cursed with being able to see to the heart of things. Wrapped within her soft haunting vocals are hard truths mirroring the convoluted path she took to get here.
Growing up in California Roze discovered early that she was severely dyslexic. As a young person with a devastating sense of personal failure and lack of self-worth, Roze believed the naysayers who repeatedly made clear that her inability to read music would keep her from the music world.
Crushed, she found salvation in her love of animals and in time went on to study the visual arts instead. With college behind her, Roze began traveling and after several months in Nepal, Roze headed north to Rishikesh. It was there, walking the same streets where the Beatles and other great musicians had been inspired some 50 years earlier, that Roze realized music was her path. She packed up, headed home and took the first baby steps to here. We are all the better for her journey.

"Sooo stoked to have worked on some tracks with Roze this summer. Out now everywhere. #popmusic that speaks to the human condition - #soulmusic that talks to the craaaayziness going on out there.... Talent this good needs to be heard far and wide from her LA home."
