Kia Rose began playing piano at the age of 4, guitar at the age of 7 and singing/writing songs at the age of 9 years old as a result of her innate passion for music from a young age. Now, she’s a 21 year old composer, producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, completing a degree in jazz specialization. Her music has a contemporary R&B/Pop style combined with a solid jazz foundation.
