Rosie has recently signed with a London management company and is currently in talks with major labels across London.

Company Background

Angelic Music was founded by Janis Haves, a working singer/songwriter. The company's mission is to foster female talent in all forms, rather than search out those who fit the build of a stereotypical pop princess. Angelic Music values talent, passion and individuality rather than age or waist size and believes that real music fans first and foremost want great music and are less interested in image than the mainstream music industry claims.

Support Network for Female Artists

Angelic Music runs a free ''not for profit'' artist development, networking and support organization called ''Angels Out There'' that runs alongside the main label. Here female artists from across the UK, Europe, USA and even Australia make contact with each other. If an artist has a question or needs advice or support on anything to do with music or the music industry, Angelic Music staff answer it or find someone who can. Angels Out There can be contacted

By associating themselves with Angelic, singer-songwriters will become part of the ever-increasing network of music professionals already associated with the label. They will also be helping the industry to get one step closer to removing the constraints of the pop mould.
