Rose is a singer, composer, performer and multi-instrumentalist. Her unique sound is an idiosyncratic combination of modernist/ contemporary music with inflections of Irish Traditional Music, Folk and Jazz. As an accomplished multi-instrumentalist in the Traditional, Classical and contemporary music fields , Rose graduated from Music Composition at The Royal Conservatory The Hague.


Rose released her first album, Uisce agues Bean in 2023:
