Indie Pop Artist Overcomes Adversity, Builds Successful Career
29 Aug
Summary
- Indie artist Rose overcame industry challenges to release two albums independently
- Embracing her queer identity helped her artistry blossom during the pandemic
- Rose aims to sell out Madison Square Garden and headline Coachella in 5 years
In the past two-and-a-half years, independent pop artist Rose has achieved remarkable success, defying the odds of the music industry. The 29-year-old, who hails from Cincinnati, has released two albums completely on her own, without the backing of a major record label.
Rose's journey has not been an easy one. She faced numerous obstacles, including bait-and-switch moments with executives who wanted to change her artistic direction. However, she remained determined to stay true to her vision, trusting her own instincts and refusing to compromise.
It was during the pandemic that Rose's artistry truly blossomed. Embracing her queer identity helped her become the "fully realized person" she is today. This self-discovery has been a central theme in her latest album, "MONOCHROME: The White Album," which explores her experience with bipolar disorder.
Despite the challenges, Rose has found immense success. She has performed at venues across New York City, opened for the likes of Aqua, and even headlined a show overseas – a "pinch-me moment" for the rising star. Looking ahead, Rose has set her sights high, predicting that she will sell out Madison Square Garden and headline Coachella within the next five years.
