Milyssa Rose

Milyssa Rose is a passionate and multi-talented Pop Artist born in Detroit, Michigan. At age six, her family moved to Marietta, Georgia, where she resides. Since day one, she knew with every fiber of her being that entertainment was her ultimate aspiration. Growing up, the arts were always of primary focus. Milyssa participated in Community Theatre, modeling, various commercials, and numerous talent shows. To further perfect her musical craft, Milyssa also has been studying with a vocal coach for many years and recently started taking piano lessons.

Upon high school graduation, Milyssa delved into reality-based talent searches. However, her initial gut feeling led her to the conclusion that becoming an overnight celebrity was not the path to success she desired. She began writing lyrics and experimenting with various production teams in her late teens. Repeatedly, producers refused to take musical risks, which Milyssa yearned for. Her chief aim was and currently is to be a one-of-a-kind artist that challenges the status quo and deviates from the typical sound of mainstream artists. One-hundred percent determined to be a star, she signed to an indie label. Unfortunately, that label came across some hard times, and she was released from her contract. Not letting that get her down, she joined forces with Strong Foundation & Co., Papi Hey of 2 Gran Productions, Shazam X of Ugly Face Productions, Chethan Music, and Major Moves Recording Studios. Milyssa felt that being more involved in the creative process would expand her horizons and evolve her innate skills.

Milyssa gives a new spin to the title "Pop Artist." Her voice has a definite edge and is powerful and soulful with a dynamic range. Milyssa's CD has a song for anyone and everyone—from Pop to Rock, to Club Bangers, all the way to Hip Hop collaborations. Her approach continues to be versatile as she continues to expand her talents and think outside the box.

Milyssa is always open to performing at a variety of different venues. The venues she has performed at include Sweet Auburn Festival, the Rialto Theater, Athens Pride, South GA Pride, GA Equality, Under the Rainbow Athens, UGA, Piedmont Park, Smith's Olde Bar, Jungle, and Center Stage, and more. Her stage shows are widely known for consisting of vibrant energy and personality that you will remember.

Additionally, she has been featured on Keeping it 1K with Love and Hip Hop Atlanta's own Lil Scrappy. Her music has been played on R&B Divas and The Union of European Football Associations.
