Hello! I'm Holly Rose, a professional vocalist and pianist dedicated to making your wedding, event, or gig truly unforgettable with live music. Based in Derbyshire, I’m always happy to travel wherever the music takes me! Music has been a lifelong passion for me, and I’ve devoted years to perfecting my craft. I achieved a Grade 8 Distinction in Vocals and went on to earn a music degree from The University of Sheffield, where I honed my technical skills and deepened my understanding of performance artistry. These qualifications, combined with extensive live experience, have shaped me into the versatile and accomplished performer I am today. My performances range from soul and Motown to pop, rnb and ballads. Whether you're looking for a relaxed and intimate ambiance or an uplifting, energetic set to get your guests dancing, I tailor my repertoire to fit the mood perfectly. I work closely with my clients to curate a bespoke setlist that enhances the atmosphere of their event, ensuring each performance is unique and memorable. As a vocalist and pianist, I offer the flexibility of both live piano accompaniment and high-quality backing tracks, allowing me to adapt to various venues and musical preferences. Whether performing stripped-back acoustic ballads or delivering full-bodied renditions of classic anthems, my goal is to create an emotive and immersive musical experience that resonates with my audience. For me, music is more than just entertainment, it’s about creating lasting memories and elevating experiences through the power of song. If you're looking for a warm, engaging, and talented musician to bring your event to life, I would love to be a part of your special day!

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.”

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 30 minutes- 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find songs that will work for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! In an outside setting I will need access to a plug socket however I have a long extension cord. I may also need cover for my electrical equipment if it is forecast to rain.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes! 2-4 weeks notice would be preferable. During peak wedding season, a small fee of £10 may incur to cover rehearsal time and backing track costs. (not including first dance, aisle entrance and exit song).
