"It’s pretty crazy how quickly all of this has happened. Four months ago I was delivering groceries and 'Villain' was just another song in my Google Drive. Now it’s headed to Country Radio and my dreams are coming true," shares Rose. "I seriously couldn’t be more excited and grateful."
Since signing her record deal in Jan., Lily has been gaining fast momentum. Last month, Lily sold out two shows in her hometown of Atlanta, Ga. and premiered acoustic performances of fan favorites “Better Than That” and “Green Light” exclusively with
People and YouTube Rodeo, respectively. On Friday, March 5, Lily was featured on Apple Music Radio’s Country Risers Radio with Ward Guenther as their
Country Riser of the week.

ABOUT LILY ROSE:
Touting an identifiable sound described as contemporary, vulnerable and raw, Lily Rose is breaking new ground in the Nashville music scene with her new single, “Villain." On Dec. 1, 2020, Rose posted a clip of “Villain,” a song she wrote with Mackenzie Carpenter and Kyle Clark (produced by Matt Morrisey) about a break-up she believed ended cordially, only to find out she’d been painted as the ‘bad guy’ through social media. The song connected significantly with fans, and two weeks later Rose independently released “Villain” on Dec. 15. The single immediately rocketed to the top of the iTunes all-genre chart, where it held steady at No.1 above Taylor Swift’s latest releases for several days and has remained in the Top 50 Country Digital Songs chart for ten weeks. Rose’s reactive single “Villain” caught the attention of Big Loud Records / Back Blocks Music and Republic Records who signed her to a joint-venture record deal in Jan. 2021.
Rose grew up in Atlanta as a self-taught drummer and guitarist, but it wasn’t until high school that she discovered her voice. As an athlete and distinguished singer, Rose had to decide which avenue to pursue. Bar sets and cover shows in her college town of Athens, GA led to headlining and sold out shows across Athens, Atlanta, Nashville and NYC, prompting her to make the move to Nashville in 2017.
Her musical influences range from Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and Bruce Springsteen to Katy Perry reflecting her innate ability to adopt a “futuristic” 21st century country sound. She currently resides in Nashville where she continues to write and record new music with a focus on melody and hook driven songwriting style, which has proven to resonate among country, pop and rock alike.
