WHAT IT IS: Grammy-nominated Baby Rose, née Jasmine Rose Wilson, grew up with a mix of genres in her ears. The D.C.-born, Atlanta-based singer/songwriter/producer immersed herself in traditional gospel hymns, hip-hop, R&B, psychedelic, funk, alt, soul, jazz and folk music while growing up. Her debut EP, From Dusk Til Dawn, produced by Casey Graham, quickly generated a buzz, as artists like SZA, Kehlani and J. Cole acknowledged her talent. After inking a distro deal with Human Re Sources, Rose provided vocals on Dreamville’s Revenge of the Dreamers III and had released a series of singles and projects on SoundCloud prior to dropping her debut album, To Myself. Since then, she’s toured with Ari Lennox, Snoh Aalegra and toured the U.S and European tour before inking with Island.
