e Rose is a multihyphenate. The rapper/singer/producer/engineer makes hiphop music that is intended to leave listeners more connected to oneself and inspires them to think about and experience life in a new light. His chill and melodic production and vocals are blended with introspective storytelling to help listeners connect on more than just a surface level. e Rose produces and engineers projects for other artists, but with his debut mixtape “e Rose by Any Other Name,” he has begun his journey as a solo artist. For the LA native, music has always been a big part of the rapper’s life. From playing in bands and orchestra to being educated by his father’s expansive knowledge and love for all kinds of music. Early on e Rose became fascinated with the storytelling and cadences associated with hiphop. Deep down, he always dreamed of being in the rap scene, whether or not he was aware of it at the time. His love for eclectic music and passion for hiphop are ever present in his production and shine through the intersection of rapping and singing in his music. After being hospitalized at his first semester at the University of Michigan, e Rose was inspired to focus on his passion and make music rather than continue on the more traditional path laid out for him. He dropped out and moved back to LA where he hasn’t looked back since.
