 Biography: 6th Annual IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards) Finalist, Candy Rose is an unsigned, independent Singer/Songwriter based in London, U.K. She writes/co-writes almost all her material and has many influences, from the Late Great Michael Jackson to Madonna to Nirvana to Alicia Keys and Fall Out Boy to name a few. She is an avid fan of Patrick Stump - so much so, she wrote a song for him - and has been tipped as one of the new U.K indie Artists to watch and keep listening to. She is not restricted in her genre or style of music and her works features something for all.
Candy’s début single So You Know was released on the 10th of August, 2009 and went on to stay at the number 1 spot of Vox Africa’s Urban Fire show for 12 weeks – she stopped counting after the 12th week. Her début album, A Rollercoaster Love, was released on the 28th of September 2009. The album is a mixture of R&B, Dance, Commercial club, Modern Pop and rock; "and stands out in a world of manufactured pop as an original record".
With the music industry seeking new individual non-manufactured sounds, Candy is happy to try to supply them this. Candy Rose’s music impressed the head honcho’s at Superdrug – one of the oldest and largest retail chains in the U.K, that 3 of her songs (It's You That I Love, Tell The World & Hooked On You – taken from her album, A rollercoaster Love), were featured in 10 branches around the U.K on Wednesdays and Saturdays in a show created for the store titled, “Unsigned and On Air in Superdrug”.
Candy is on a mission to try to change the world one act at a time, through music. Because Candy herself was once homeless, she is giving 50% of all sales of her London single to Shelter – The Charity for the homeless. 50% forever!
Candy’s club popular song, Stop Talking, was selected by L.A Music Pipelines show and was featured as what’s hot in L.A by Big FM. And there has been some real interest in her music videos on YouTube, one of which was featured in London Fashion Week Edition of Afrobuzz in English by Vox Africa.
Candy was also featured as the Artist of the week by the international site, broadjam.com. Not an easy feat and one she was very proud of. She has since then been featured in indie soup runner’s very popular podcast twice – in the groovalicious mix and the year in review mix Vol1; and she gave an exclusive interview. She has also been featured in Niji Magazine and currently working on being featured in an international print magazine.
Candy rounded up 2010 with performances in the prestigious international Miami Music Festival where she was chosen to perform, and a final U.K gig in her hometown London. Candy’s music has featured in popular work out DVD, Physique 57, and you should listen out for it in various Reality TV shows.
2011 has seen Candy performing at more live gigs, some very private exclusive gigs, the odd Festival, running her own radio show, On Air With Candy Rose – where she featured unsigned UK Artists/Bands, becoming an official London 2012 Olympics ambassador and the release of her EP, Hooked On You – the last release from her album, A Rollercoaster Love which includes some taster from her new album that she is currently working on. One of the songs offered as a taster, Escapism, has already been featured on BBC Click’s webscape episode. Do sign up for her mailing list for up to date news and exclusives via her website.
2012 and Candy is taking her 2012 Olympics London Ambassador duties seriously, working in collaboration with Shelter – the Homeless charity with the re-release of London featuring some new mixes with Grammy nominated producers, Klubjumpers and also working on her next Album. Do check out London due for release on the 27 of July, 2012 and support this unsigned, independent artist.

London is the latest offering from London based singer/Songwriter, Candy Rose. Candy Rose is an unsigned signer songwriter who is well known for being an advocate for the homeless – having been homeless herself once upon a time.
Candy got her fans involved in deciding which extra tracks to remix for the re-release of London and they can back with 2 favourites from her debut album, A Rollercoaster Love. London is being released with the official Shelter Logos on the disks going out to the shops and 50% of all sales of the tracks in this release will be going to Shelter – the Homelessness Charity.
As one of the Ambassadors for the London 2012 Olympics Ambassadors, Candy is proud to have a song about her home city which she loves and hopes that many will come to love her home city as she does; and at the same time hopes to do good through her music for a cause that is very personal.
A Little Bit more about Candy: 6th Annual IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards) Finalist, Candy Rose writes/co-writes almost all her material and has many influences, from the Late Great Michael Jackson to Madonna to Nirvana to Alicia Keys and Fall Out Boy to name a few. She is an avid fan of Patrick Stump - so much so, she wrote a song for him - and has been tipped as one of the few U.K indie Artists to watch and keep listening to.
Notorious for being camera shy and uninterested in fame, her music and lyrics have been striking the right chords since she hit the airwaves in 2009 with her début single So You Know. It was released on the 10th of August, 2009 and went on to stay at the number 1 spot of Vox Africa’s Urban Fire show for 12 weeks – she stopped counting after the 12th week. Her début album, A Rollercoaster Love, was released on the 28th of September 2009. The album is a mixture of R&B, Dance, Commercial club, Modern Pop and rock; "and stands out in a world of manufactured pop as an original record".
You can read up on Candy from her various social sites - or even ask her directly on twitter @icandyrose.
All music by Candy Rose can be found on iTunes, Amazon, CD baby, Spotify and many more. CD versions are stocked in selected stores around the globe – she’s very green so these are limited.
