[1] Rose has been described by former Boston Globe music critic Steve Morse as "that rare artist who can bridge diverse styles such as soul, funk, rock, rap and jazz – and bring her unique stamp to each.

[3] In addition to her independent releases, Rose is a featured songwriter and performer on two Grammy award-winning jazz albums, The Mosaic Project (2011)[4] and Money Jungle: Provocative in Blue (2012),[5][6] both produced by drummer Terri Lyne Carrington and featuring a cast of musicians including Esperanza Spalding, Patrice Rushen, and Herbie Hancock.

[7] Rose has shared the stage with Gladys Knight, Macy Gray, Nneka, Alice Smith, and Talib Kweli, and she has performed internationally in Bucharest, Romania, Athens, Greece, Naples, Italy, St. Michaels, Barbados, Santiago/Havana, Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica.

[12] The album, which was released one track at a time with accompanying artwork and behind-the-scenes interviews, follows Rose's personal and creative evolution during this journey.

Both beautiful and painful at times, the process and Rose's personal experiences while creating this project became as important as the album itself and are now inseparable from the music.

[13] In the summer of 2016, Rose released a cover of Sinéad O’Connor's "Black Boys on Mopeds," available on iTunes,[14] Spotify,[15] and Bandcamp.

[16] Though the lyrics reference England in the 1990s, Rose felt that the song served as a universal statement on the social and political climate of the world in 2016.

But following the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, and with a Presidential election coming that year, Rose chose to use her platform to spark a conversation about the disquieting conditions across the world.

[31] She's been featured in brand campaigns for CoverGirl,[32] Tory Burch,[33] Puma,[31] Plndr and Converse,[8] and she made her international television debut hosting the "Boston Contemporary" episode of CNN's travel and lifestyle show, "CNNGo.”

[38] RISE features local, national, and international aspiring and established artists from the realms of pop, rock, and hip-hop.

[39] Since September 2015, Rose and Scazzocchio have brought artists including KING, Yuna, Will Dailey, and Goapele to the museum's performance space and sonic cube, Calderwood Hall.
