About Rose |
||
Singer/songwriter Rose Pawlowski has a mission. She is dedicated to
spiritually uplifting others through music.
Rose created a unique blend of musical styles, including pop, jazz, blues, gospel, folk and rock into her first album “Lift Me Up”, which was released in September of 2004. Instrumental in Rose’s eclectic style was her upbringing in Southern Indiana. As a child of Polish parents and sibling to 3 older brothers, Rose was exposed to a wide variety of musical styles from an early age. Her early musical influences include Arthur Brown, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Grace Slick, and Bonnie Raitt. Her second CD, “Hold Me Back” was released in February of 2005 and features more original rock and blues as well as a few covers like “Black Coffee” and “Crazy”. Rose began performing professionally while in college, where she earned a B.A. in Fine Arts from Indiana University. Her songwriting flowed naturally from a lifelong hobby of writing poetry and verse. This blossomed into more serious writing in the mid-1990’s when a friend asked her to write & perform original songs to open her comedy act. Singing has always been an important part of Rose’s life and became an important part of her spiritual practice in the late 1980’s when she began writing and performing her own music. With soaring vocals, interesting arrangements, and inspirational lyrics, Rose says that the main focus in her music and workshops is to assist people in the unfolding of their creative soul purpose with joy and humor. In 2000, Rose organized and served as the Coordinator for the Great Lakes Unity Regional Music Conference held in Bloomington, Indiana. In 2002, she starred in “If God Had A Face”, an original rock musical by the late Rev. Sam Windell, which included several of her original songs. Rose had the privilege of being the opening act for Oppie Anderestra, Indonesia’s #1 Queen of Pop and has shared the stage with jazz singer Janiece Jaffe, jazz icon Bob Dorough (composer of the Sesame Street “School House Rock” series), Janet Lawson, Grammy nominee, as well as two time Native American Music Award winner Douglas Blue Feather.
