Gifted with a uniquely rich and resonant voice, Cora Rose
has captivated audiences around the world. From tender and intimate to full and
powerful, the spellbinding tone and vibrancy of Cora’s vocal performances have
won her fans, young and old, throughout the United States. Cora grew up in rural Wisconsin where she began writing at a young age and recording
in her mid-teens. After developing a strong following in her community, she
moved to Nashville in 2005 where she crossed paths with such notable
songwriters as Michael Peterson (“Drink, Swear, Steal & Lie”) and Jill King
(“98.6 Degrees and Falling”).
In 2006 Cora moved to Maine to pursue studies at College of the Atlantic, and in
the next four years she simultaneously earned her Bachelor’s degree and made
significant strides with her music. While conducting academic research in Africa
and Mexico, Cora began songwriting in Spanish as well as English. While
visiting NYC to serve as a delegate to the United Nations in 2009, she recorded
“Roll With Me”, which was later used in a Ford National Ad Campaign and aired
during the World Series. In 2011, she co-wrote and performed a song clip for
NBC's Parks & Recreation, which aired under the guise of "Nefertiti's
Fjord". She has received mentorship from Grammy-nominated and former
RCA artist, Marilyn Maye, and she has conducted songwriting workshops with schools
around the country. She now lives in New York City.
