With a clear sense of purpose, 23-year-old singer, songwriter and guitarist Rosie Frater-Taylor blurs the lines between jazz, folk, pop and soul. Think Joni Mitchell meets George Benson, Lewis Taylor teams up with Emily King or a female version of John Mayer!
Rosie's critically acclaimed 2nd album 'Bloom' (2021) was nominated at Gilles Petersons WorldWide Awards, named Jazz FM 'Album Of The Week' and made KCRW's 'Albums Of The Year' list.
Bloom accumulated over 2m streams, catching the attention of the likes of Jamie Cullum, Gilles Peterson, Jordan Rakei, Nitin Sawhney, Snarky Puppy's Michael League, Blue Notes Don Was, with Complex Magazine, Bandcamp, Jazz re:freshed and global platform Pickup Music championing the young musician too.
In 2022, Rosie played over 60 shows across Europe, including opening for legendary singer Kurt Elling and playing Gilles Petersons WorldWide Awards and We Out Here on the main stage.
The native Londoner started playing drums at the age of 8, picking up the guitar and ukulele soon after. She spent her early teens discovering her musician parents record collection, an eclectic mix of artists: Zero 7, Tania Maria, Seal, Pat Metheny and more. She began exploring her own love of songwriting, jazz and alternative harmony studying at both the Roundhouse and Royal Academy Of Music.
Partial to a DIY-slant, Rosie set off laying out multi-layered guitar-based demos on Cubase at the age of 16. These would eventually become her self-produced debut album 'On My Mind' (2018), a unique collection of songs which garnered praise from BBC 6 Musics Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 1s Abbie McCarthy, Becca Stevens badass, with Jazzwise Magazine hailing her one to watch.
