6th Annual IAMA (International Acoustic Music Awards) Finalist, Candy Rose is a Nigerian born unsigned, independent Singer/Songwriter based in London, U.K. She writes/co-writes almost all her material and has many influences, from the Late Great Michael Jackson to Madonna to Nirvana to Alicia Keys and Fall Out Boy to name a few. She is an avid fan of Patrick Stump - so much so, she wrote a song for him - and has been tipped as one of the new U.K indie Artists to watch and keep listening to. Her music and lyrics have been striking the right chords since she hit the airwaves in 2009 with her début single So You Know. It was released on the 10th of August, 2009 and went on to stay at the number 1 spot of Vox Africa’s Urban Fire show for 12 weeks – she stopped counting after the 12th week. Her début album, A Rollercoaster Love, was released on the 28th of September 2009. The album is a mixture of R&B, Dance, Commercial club, Modern Pop and rock; "and stands out in a world of manufactured pop as an original record".
Candy’s club popular song, Stop Talking, was selected by L.A Music Pipelines show and was featured as what’s hot in L.A by Big FM. And there has been some real interest in her music videos on YouTube, one of which was featured in London Fashion Week’s Edition of Afrobuzz in English by Vox Africa.
Candy is on a mission to try to change the world one act at a time, through music. Because Candy herself was once homeless, she is giving 50% of all sales of her London single to Shelter – The Charity for the homeless. 50% forever! She’s been featured as the Artist of the week by the international site, broadjam.com, on indie soup runner’s very popular podcast twice – in the groovalicious mix and the year in review mix Vol1; and she has also been featured in Niiji Magazine and various other websites and podcasts.
