.:ROSE:.
Talented artist/songwriter turned producer,
Roosevelt Pristell, aka Rose, offers something universally
diverse and interesting to the public. Rose has always
had a heartfelt desire to create music. Growing up
in Seattle, Washington, listening to the sounds of
gospel through his aunt and R&B on the radio,
Rose quickly took to music, developing an appreciation
for its many different genres. One of his first introductions
to live music was watching a family friend named Benny
perform, singing and playing the piano on weekends
at his aunt’s house. Forced to write poetry in order
to graduate from high school, Rose began to see that
his writing skills could help him immensely with the
creation of his own music. He and his friends then
began to form small bands, mainly playing rock-n-roll
live in local garages. But Rose felt something wasn't
right; that rock-n-roll was not ready for him it lacked
a certain amount of soul, a certain amount of rhythm.
It was then that he began to develop the unique diversity
of his own music, which mixes his appreciation of
all music influences into a heavy, transporting beat
and sound that appeals to any type of music fan.
Rose continued to develop in every sense. With the
creation of his own label, RainyCity Records, he has
blossomed into a Renaissance musician/artist/songwriter/producer,
developing and collaborating with such artists as
O Gizzle, Ameerah The Songstress, Ray-Ski, Sandy,
Chucky C, and noted hip-hop artist, M.80. In 2007,
Rose plans to share his uniqueness worldwide, with
the planned release in February of his CD, Life of
a Rose, choosing to coincide it with Valentine's Day,
a sweet time of year. He will feature live musicians,
and is collaborating with Wednesday Moore and noted
producer Kevin Gardner. Rose counts as his current
influences hip-hop and rap artists Snoop Dogg, R.
Kelly, Master P and Mario and sees himself at the
Grammy’s as an award nominee in no more than three
years. What drives him and what wisdom does he impart
to his label artists and those who are looking to
break into the biz? Talent is present in every one
of us; sometime you must look very close to find it,
but at times, it finds you,.. Rose states. In parting,
he tells us that ..you should always create time for
your creative _expression... Let us heed the words
of this up and coming international superstar!
