Tokyo-based Aboriginal Canadian artist Rose Beach announced that she
has been admitted as a member in the National Aboriginal Recording
Industry Association. NARIA is a national Aboriginal association of
professional Aboriginal music artists, associated music business
people, and service providers.
Rose Beach, whose blend of folk music tale spinning, hip hop energy
and pop sensibility she labels ?fusion pop," stands to set things to
right on her CD Family Love by showing love in it's true light, as a
force that is our life line.
Born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and raised primarily in
Saskatchewan by a strong, loving and musically inclined mother of
Canadian aboriginal ancestry and a farmer stepfather with a love of
country music, she had the dream of music early in life. "The world
view that pumps through her music comes from her family and her native
culture and is one where pain, abuse and oppression are countered by
kindness and integrity and positive use of the force," noted music
reviewer Mark Kirby.
When asked on how her mother's experiences influenced her music, sh
responded "My grandmother, my great-grandmother and their generation
suffered atrocities. My mother experienced racism. Their experiences
made me want the dream (of achievement) all the more. The native youth
are strong survivors and we are proud of our ancestry and our
ancestors' legacy. Always positivity through negativity, which is the
message of my CD, "Family Love."
Starting in the underground streets of Vancouver and Tokyo, Rose Beach
is rising into the musical mainstream in Japan where she has sold more
than 50,000 records and performs weekly at many of Tokyo's famous
clubs such as Club Asia, as well as corporate events for brand names
ranging from Lush and Diesel to Asahi and Mac. "It's not often that a
foreigner can rock the club scene in Japan, but that is what Canadian
singer-songwriter Rose Beach is doing," noted the Hiragana Times.
In addition to her heavy independent CD sales, Rose Beach has been
interviewed and received heavy airplay on Co-op Radio in her home base
of Vancouver. She has also been interviewed and played on Inter-FM
Radio in Tokyo.
