At four years old, my dad took me to the Bahamas for the first time. I saw a steel drum band and couldn't understand how music was coming from the cans. At that moment I was captivated and knew what I wanted to do...I wanted to make that sound.
After that, the discipline of learning how to play kept me focused and out of trouble. I grew up being influenced by the music of Ray Charles, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Journey and Rush.

Hello! My name is Bl4xk Rose and I'm a multidisciplinary artist living in Prince George's County, Maryland, and CEO of Chaos Theory LLC. My main modes of creativity are literary with song-writing, script-writing, and short stories as well as poetry. I also like to tell stories visually by way of drawing, painting, clothing design, and even branching my way out into set design and cinematography. I love art direction and getting to see my vision come to life but my heart truly lends itself to singing. It allows me to translate the soundtrack that is constantly playing in my head.
Emily Martin carries on a rich heritage of playing traditional Old Time and Irish music on the mandolin.
