About Me
Savvy, strong, independent, full of life and inspiration, are the messages conveyed in the groove based, jazzy soul-folk music of Wendy De Rosa. She finds that catchy melody, creates that hook, and then you find your singing it all day long. Her songs are beat driven, and her timber voice soars melodies over her rhythmic guitar playing. She conveys an uplifting healing sound through her performance while taking a jazzier, fuller and funkier approach with her band. Her sound spans genres of jazz, pop, rock, folk and even elements of hip hop. Yet, she will hold her own as a soloist.As a former Colorado resident, Wendy co-female fronted her groove rock band, Mosaic.
