Shealagh Rose is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Hamilton, Ontario. Developing her voice and songwriting in Toronto at Humber College’s Bachelor of Music program, she worked with mentors like Rik Emmett (Triumph), and had the opportunity to record backup vocals with legendary producer Ken Scott. She was a regional finalist in CBC’s 2017 Searchlight competition with her song “Dream” off of her debut EP “Island”. Lush with soulful vocals, addicting progressions, and beautiful string sections, the record boasts the aesthetic of indie folk anthems.
Her sophomore release teases of earlier works, introducing grittier sounds, and blending the lines between folk music and contemporary pop. Singles ‘Radio Silence’ and ‘Tunnel Vision’ were released to critical acclaim. Matt Adams (Vocal Media, 2024) on ‘Tunnel Vision’ writes: “Her ability to blend vulnerability with social commentary sets her apart as a compelling voice in the indie folk genre. With a promising future ahead, she is poised to make an even greater impact on the music world, one heartfelt song at a time.”
The EP ‘Safe in our Silence’ is available on streaming platforms February 27, 2025.
