Who is RoseRed?
“I’m just someone who loves music. I live, breathe and give birth to it. I’ve been writing music since the age of 16. I’m a self taught guitarist and I’m still learning something new every single day I pick up the guitar.
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 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.”
