She may be only 16, but you’ll hear a depth and intelligence in Rose’s music that’ll immediately remind you of the golden age of singer/songwriters. With starter material like that, how can you not put together a killer remix? Rose is offering her song “Another Sometime” for remixing.

About the Artist

Rose Walker reels in the love with her catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics. Her angelic voice delivered with youthful energy captures listeners with a personality that is truly authentic.

“I don’t want my music to try to be something that it’s not. I want my character to shine through on every song I write.”

Her self-titled debut EP available April 29th includes six songs from pop rock opener “Always For You” to “Voices,” a delicate piano ballad that closes the album. The songs tell stories about love, frustration, doubt, and longing.

The 16-year old Atlanta native seemed destined to write music, growing up with a dad who released several independent albums of his own and a brother who ran off to Nashville to become a producer. After writing her first single “Another Sometime”, a piano driven pop song, she came to Nashville to record with her older brother the six songs that would become her self-titled EP.

Rose's obvious intelligence and skill with the piano is well beyond her years; at a time when most high school sophomores and juniors are primarily concerned about who they're going to date, passing their driver's test, where the party is or what shade of lip gloss to wear, Miss Walker is on the cusp of singer/songwriter superstardom. She is a perfect hybrid of Tori Amos, Regina Spektor, Mindy Smith and Emmylou Harris, yet she is able to find a voice within herself that is wholly original and pure. She has depth; she has soul and it there for anyone to hear.~The Tripwire

This 16 year old truly has found her voice and the piano as an outlet to her soul~ Big Smile Magazine

Contest Content Help

No Links? If you do not see the "zip" links to the contest loops, it may be because you are running firewall or security software with Ad Blocking turned on. If so, please temporarily turn it off and the links should appear.

What is the .acd file in the sample remix? The .acd file is an ACID project file that contains a sample remix made from eight to ten of the contest loops. It can help you learn how to use ACID, or give you ideas about remixing the track. You don't need to use it, but you'll at least want to download the sample remix so that you get the loops.

Can't open the ACID project file? The ACID project file (.acd file) is in ACID 5.0 format. It can be opened in ACID 5.0, but not in previous versions of ACID. If you using a previous version of ACID and you wish to view this file, you can either upgrade or download the current version ACID XPress in the Tools area of this page. However, you do not need to view the .acd file to enter the contest. You can simply use the loops in any version of ACID or in any other software.
