Rose White is a London based singer songwriter who mixes playful pop/soul/funk grooves with infectious hooks and empowering energy. Wrapping her husky voice, that has drawn comparisons to Duffy, Amy Winehouse and Olivia Dean, around the full range of emotions, Rose wants to speak openly about the topics we all think about, but are afraid to say out loud.
Born and raised in Poland, she moved to London with only 2 suitcases, £300 and no connections. Working her way up the ladder on the open mic circuit, eventually headlining clubs with her band, she released her debut EP ‘One Fourth Mark’ in 2022. In 2024, Rose received a Next Level Award from Help Musicians organisation that will help her fund her future projects.
Raised in a musical household filled with Polish punk and international rock, teenage Rose listened a lot to The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Joy Division. Later musical discoveries included jazz greats like Nina Simone, soul legends James Brown and Stevie Wonder, as well as strong female voices of the early 2000s such as Christina Aquilera, Beyonce, Amy Winehouse and Annie Lennox. Remnants of all these influences, along with traces of RAYE, Jorja Smith and Joy Crookes, can still be found in Rose’s material, making it, as Rose puts it, sound a little bit like: “Imagine if Amy Winehouse and Olivia Dean had a baby.”
