Who is Rosie Trentham? Where are you from, how long have you been playing music?

Hi, I’m a singer- songwriter and pianist. I’ve been performing since I was really small.

 

If you had to describe your sound using just five words, what would they be?

Bond Girl meets John Lewis!

 

Who are your biggest influences musically?

Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, Nora Jones

 

What’s your song writing process?
The hook and the lyrics always come first. Sometimes they are phrases that stick out to me in a conversation
or come from personal experiences. I always write at the piano as the relationship between the vocals and
keyboard part is what makes my songs.

 

When you were younger, what was the first album that blew you away and you remember putting on
repeat non-stop?

I had some Simon and Garfunkel songs on my ipod shuffle when I was a little girl, and I loved them. I also thought it paired well with Ariana Grande’s ‘Dangerous Woman’ album. How sad is that?

 

As a performer, what’s your biggest claim to fame so far?

Performing in front of Prince Edward in a concert. He was late and walked in halfway through my first song. His
tweed jacket flashed past.

 

If you could go on tour with any current band or artist, who would it be and why?

Freya Ridings: we could share a saxophonist and cellist but they might feel a bit overworked

 

How would you describe your live show to someone who has never seen you perform before?

I’ve managed to collaborate with some amazing musicians in the past year. My show includes a virtuosic jazz
saxophonist and classical cellist, who pair very well together.

 

Do any of you have any pre-gig or post gig rituals? If so, what and why?

I write death threats to any of my friends who didn’t turn up.

 

What would your ultimate rider be if you could have anything without being accused of being a diva?

The last time I was asked this question, I didn’t even know what I rider was, so I’m definitely not a diva. A banana and some liquorice all sorts will keep me happy.

 

If we were to browse your music library what is the most embarrassing song we might find? Or who is your guilty pleasure artist?

Hamilton. Not so secret fan of musical theatre here.

This is my second identity after fleeing organised crime in central Europe.

Finally, What does the future hold for you as an artist?
As well as continuing my singer- pianist act, I am also in an electric dance music duo called ‘Sonic Daze’ with
rapper Archie Elliot. The second we turn aged 18 we are going to hit the club scene.
