“I want to see more women and non-binary people in positions of direction, which would allow the femme narrative to be supported and widespread through music. It would also inspire more female artists to get behind the desk, take control and expand their careers in exciting ways. I am also passionate about being part of the driving force that enables equal opportunities across gender and through all sectors within the music industry. Lastly, encouraging gender diversity within the industry creates a safer space for female artists and this is something I want to be a part of creating.”

Rosa Cecilia

For Rosa Cecilia, lyrics are a lens into the angst of her generation. From judgmental stares on queer love to sociopolitical disparities, her writing aims to pacify the misunderstood tensions in each of us. Sonically soulful and jazz-inspired, her influences range from Erykah Badu and Solange to Nathy Peluso and Jeff Buckley. 

Rosa released her debut EP, Take None, in 2021. The project resonated with her growing audience, who showed their support, packing out Next Door Records to celebrate the launch of Take None. In 2022, Rosa’s plans are emblematic of an artist inspired and full of ambition, with collaborations planned with some of the UK’s most exciting producers, artists and collectives.
