Speakers
AMBER ROSE
Singer-Songwriter
Northern Beaches raised singer-songwriter, Amber Rose, has been performing as a solo project since late 2020. Her music can be described as synonymously uplifting and heart-wrenching as her haunting vocals paired with soft melodies weave the perfect heart-strung ballads. Her first release containing demos, recorded and performed entirely by herself during the COVID-19 lockdown, provide an intimate insight into the artists childhood reflections. After escaping the confines of her bedroom she has released the two swooning singles "Stain" and "In Time" with her five piece band that appear regularly on stage at live shows. Since her debut show in 2020 she has sold out multiple headline shows across Sydney and appeared on festival lineups in both New South Wales and Queensland with renowned acts such as Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins and Xavier Rudd.
