Rosie Miles

Rosie Miles is an alt-folk singer songwriter and storyteller, who's soaring melodies and poetic lyrics serve as her ink and pen. Living among the bustling DIY scene in Leeds, her music moves effortlessly between the world of Folk & Jazz, evoking a welcome nostalgia of the 70s songwriter movement.

Inspired by the great writers Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling, her confessional lyricism exposes and explores familiar narratives with a shrewd vulnerability that is both comforting and deeply moving. Rosie’s band add a warmth and depth to her tunes, weaving lush guitars and jazz-inspired rhythms beneath her powerful voice and lilting refrains. Set for release in early 2023, her debut EP offers an original take on classic songwriting for a new generation.

Rosie’s performances are quickly gaining recognition for their captivating blend of anthemic songs, acoustic lullabies and light-hearted atmosphere. This has led to her performing sold out shows at Brudenell Social Club, Hyde Park Book Club and support slots for Rosie Frater-Taylor & LADY (Leeds). She has gained support from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Robinson following her full band set at Launchpad Festival 2022 and was subsequently booked for one night on his 2022 ‘Up Close & Personal’ International Tour. Since moving north four years ago, she has worked with many familiar faces in the Leeds scene, singing lead vocals in art rock crossover group Yaatri and touring with nu-soul project B-Ahwe.
