Life and career

Born in Frimley, Surrey, England, Rose's musical origins began with her playing drums in her school orchestra, her songwriting started writing tunes on her family home's piano, she later bought a guitar from a shop she passed on the way to school, taught herself and began writing material at around the age of sixteen. Rose never played her material for anyone until she left home after completing her A-levels. At eighteen, she moved to London; but instead of taking her place at University College London to study geography, she began experimenting and performing with other musicians. It was at this time when she met Jack Steadman, the frontman of Bombay Bicycle Club. After becoming friends Steadman asked if she would like to perform vocals on a song he had written and was recording. The acoustic album Flaws came out with Steadman on lead vocals, and Rose performing backing vocals most notably on the title track "Flaws", as well as others on the album. She also performs some backing vocal duties on Bombay Bicycle Club's third album, A Different Kind of Fix, and features in their fourth, So Long, See You Tomorrow. Rose also performs some backing vocal duties on the track This Sullen Welsh Heart by the Manic Street Preachers on their album Rewind the Film.

A fan of tea, Rose began selling her own blend named 'Builder Grey' (two part English Breakfast and one part Earl Grey) at her shows as a substitute for merchandise or CDs.

Vogue magazine has stated that she is "one of indie music's breakout stars for 2012".

Her song, "Don't You Worry" appeared on the TV show Skins on the second episode of the sixth season.

"Be Alright" was one of her songs featured in the twenty second, and last, episode in series five of The Vampire Diaries.

"Night Bus" appeared on the TV show Catfish: The TV Show on the tenth episode of the first season.

In December 2013, Rose confirmed via Twitter that she had begun recording her second studio album, Work It Out, that was released on 13 July 2015.

In 2014, "Shiver" was used as the opening theme for the second season of the anime series Mushishi. In February 2015, Shiver was used as the closing of Girls season 4 episode 5 starring Lena Dunham.

Since 2015, the publishing interest of Lucy Rose’s catalog has been represented by Reverb Music/Reservoir Media Management.
