Who is Imogen Rose?

Imogen Rose is a New York City based singer-songwriter, whose music is grounded in the heartfelt folk of her Tucson, Arizona upbringing. Her style ranges from indie pop to jazz folk, mirroring the poetic language and succinct observational style of musicians such as Joni Mitchell, Adrianne Lenker, and Phoebe Bridgers. 

Imogen approaches her writing through the lens of honesty, constantly seeking to abandon righteousness for the pursuit of nuance. Her affinity for jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae presents itself through her emotional melodies and colorful harmonic progressions. 

Since embarking on her journey as a professional musician at fifteen, she has become a local figure in the Tucson music scene, performing at cafes, community gatherings, cherished venues, and music festivals alike. Her debut EP, Water for Blood, is a collection of original songs written and recorded at the age of fifteen, serving now as a time stamp of her initiation into the music industry, followed by the release of three singles, Blue Year, Red Flags, and Communion.

In May of 2026, Imogen will graduate from NYU, where she is currently an undergraduate, studying psychoanalysis and political theory at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
