Emily Rose

Based in Detroit, Emily Rose is a composer and lyricist who performs as a solo artist and collaborator with a dedicated following on stages across Southern Michigan and beyond. Her songs are featured in PlayStation Four’s Detroit Become Human, and the film Welcome to Happiness. She is currently working on her next album release.

Rose’s new single, Alma, is a story of love and dedication told as an elderly man reflects on his 60 years of companionship with Alma, the woman he is losing to Alzheimer’s.
