Rose Gray is a British dance-pop and electropop artist from East London whose debut album 'Louder, Please' (2025) turned a decade of grinding — losing 100 songs to a label deal, picking litter at Chelsea Flower Market, working the door at Fabric — into 79 shows, an NME cover, a BRIT Awards Critics' Choice shortlist, and collaborations with JADE, Shygirl, and Kesha. Built like a DJ set, her music pairs emotionally raw lyricism with rave-ready production, earning 4/5 reviews from the Guardian and NME alike.
