Ananda Rose

The name "Ananda" derives from Sanskrit, meaning eternal bliss—one of the highest states of being. The rose, a timeless symbol of love, transformation, and desire, complements this essence. Together, they define Ananda Rose, an artist who channels her name’s meaning into Hip Hop, using lyricism, performance, and production to breathe life and love into our collective reality.

Born and raised in New York City, Ananda began her journey with the indie arts collective Brooklyn Wildlife, gracing iconic Lower East Side venues such as Pianos and the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. Driven by a soul-deep urge to explore life beyond the city, she has shared her gifts on stages across California, Colorado, Puerto Rico, and Miami.

Now based in St. Petersburg, Florida, Ananda infuses her Hip Hop expression with a rich tapestry of influences, including Jazz, Motown, Country, Pop, Soul, Classic Rock, and Indie music. Known for her commanding stage presence and a voice as smooth as butter, Ananda captivates audiences with an ability to soothe, charm, and inspire all at once.
