Sounds Like
"Rosered is a pixie of perfection, writing silver-tongued melodies that you might dance to if you found yourself becharmed in a fairy ring. But listen to the lyrics and find yourself brought gently to earth by a healthy dose of realism. Just don't tell the pixies! Welcome to the world of Rosered."Claire Robson~Honeywitch
"A new age female Bob Dylan...." Clare Blackman.
Iv'e been told that i sound like a range of people...but i don't really see it at all myself. Iv'e had Alanis Morrisette, Sheryl Crow, Nirvana!! The Waifs!, Juliana Hatfield, Mary Lord and Lisa Loeb....I dont think i sound like any of them... What do you think?
Im often asked what type of music i play and this is how i describe my musical rantings...folky rocky music that pixies would dance to....I WRITE MIUSIC FOR THE PIXIES!!
Some think she is a pixie, some a singer songwriter, others say shes a strange quiet gal..a lost soul, a jumping bean, a silly dag, and some even say shes just a frog dressed in human skin!
The truth is Im all of the above haha!
Im just someone who LOVES music. I live, breathe and give birth to it. Ive been writing music since the age of 16, self taught guitarist and still learning more every single day. There are a thousand melodies running through my head and i use the guitar as my outlet, my release to get them out. All words and music come rolling out without a seconds thought, and most of the time what i say and write doesnt really make sense till some time has past. Other people seem to understand my music better than i do so that makes me happy. I could play guitar a whole day and not get bored.
I believe that music is GOOD FOR THE SOUL. Its all good no matter the form. Its in the air we breathe, and if you just listen you will hear it blowing in the wind. There is something so magical about playing in time and in pure synch with other people, this is a feeling i love and can do all day and for the rest of my life.
I try to do as many gigs as possible and you will often find me roaming around the streets of London with a guitar or bass on my back, Kazoo in my pocket and egg shaker in bag.
I have played to audiences ranging from 150 people, to just a cosy couple siting in the corner staring into eachothers eyes, to just some wooden bar stools and tables and bar staff.
After a few years of putting together a DIY home studio Im currently recording my first album and have just recently began working with a producer to add the final polish to my recordings. The songs on my player above are just rough and raw demos i have managed to record with the help of FANTASTIC friends. The album is coming along well, its proving to be harder than i thought to capture that sound that is in my head...tis a pesky sound and im chasing it all over the shop with my pixie net and i will get it ^_^.
Im also always looking for cello players/ violin players to gig with so if you know any let me know. Im also available to play at parties!, i love them and think its the perfect environment to play. I like relaxed places with an audience who just want to have a laugh. Good vibes, good energy all round!
Im also the bass player in a kick ass band called ON THE BORDERLINE. Together we play around London venues such as the Bull & Gate and Hope & Anchor. Check out our website sometime ON THE BORDERLINE .
Come inside and have a nice cup of tea ^_^ to those of you lovely pixies who keep popping back for listens THANKYOU i feel i should be leaving out trays of tea and biscuits so this is for you!Pop back anytime a fresh warm brew awaits.
*fairy hug* Aww,I can totally relate,this year really has been the most "eventful" year in an ironic way.I've missed you though! Me and my friend got locked inside a park after closing hours the other day and it made me think of you,when you told me the story of how it happened to you and your friends and you had to climb over the gates :p I finished my A Levels and awaiting the results :S Hopefully I'll be off to Leicester in September.How has your summer been so far? Anything planned? x x x
We hope you have a wonderful 4th, be safe! ---------------------------------------------------- May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam. May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!
