Rosie Frater-Taylor

Rosie Frater-Taylor is one of the most electrifying forces in contemporary crossover music: virtuoso guitarist, compelling vocalist and songwriter of striking emotional depth. Recently celebrated by Gilles Peterson (6music), Led Zepplin’s Jimmy Page following her standout performance at the opening of London’s flagship Gibson Garage and SEAL, who called her “the most exciting and original artist since Amy Winehouse”. Blending jazz guitar roots with rock, alt-pop, neo-soul, folk and new-school jazz, Rosie crafts a sound entirely her own. Her current release, ‘Featherweight’ draws inspiration from icons Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny and Steely Dan alongside modern influences like John Mayer and Emily King achieving track of the week on US KCRW radio, BBC Radio 1 and Jazz FM, also featuring on Quincy Jones Qwest TV and Spotify’s Best of Jazz UK 2025. Her debut album Bloom garnered over 5 million streams and a Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards nomination. Rosie has regularly shared stages with the likes of John Scofield, Michael League & Madisun Cunningham with her one-of-a-kind sound gracing Love Supreme Festival, We Out Here and International festivals. Her online reinterpretations have also earned viral attention including millions of streams on Fleetwood Mac classic ‘Dreams’ and pulsating jazz-fusion re-working of Kate Bush’s iconic ‘Running Up That Hill’. Rosie Frater-Taylor stands firmly at the forefront of genre-blurring contemporary music. "“the most exciting and original artist since Amy Winehouse” " - SEAL
