The 116 Life Ep. 104: V. Rose- God Gives You Everything You Need & More
The vibrant sounds of Christian music have an unsung hero, and her name is V Rose. With deep roots in the church and a breeding ground rich in music, she has cultivated a sound and journey that have resonated with many. As a guest on the 116 Life show on Holy Culture Radio, V Rose recently shared her incredible story, unveiling the layers of her life, creative process, and the path that has brought her where she is today.
A Musical Beginning
From an early age, V Rose, born Vienna, was immersed in a world of music and ministry. Growing up in Sacramento, California, as the only girl among six brothers, she learned resilience and adaptability. Her mother, a country singer, and a pastor’s wife instilled in her a deep sense of discipline and confidence. The roots of V Rose’s musical journey were sown early, as she began singing in the church choir at the tender age of four. Her mother played a significant role in developing her talent and ensuring she was never afraid to let her voice be heard.
A Prophetic Calling
A defining moment came when V Rose was just six years old. She recalls God speaking to her, telling her she would be a singer traveling the world, sharing the message of Jesus. Unwavering in her faith and belief in this prophetic calling, she set out on her musical journey. Her early years were filled with home-grown entrepreneurial spirit as she raised money for studio time by selling candy after church services.
Finding Her Faith and Voice
Despite growing up as a pastor’s kid with a profound understanding of God, a pivotal moment at 16 solidified V Rose’s personal relationship with Jesus. Performing in a church service, she realized that her gift of music was not merely for her own expression but for a higher purpose. This understanding reshaped her approach to music, blending her creativity with divine inspiration, marking the beginning of her ministry through music.
The Leap to Professional Music
V Rose’s professional journey took a significant turn when she met Christian rapper Flame, who noticed her talent and offered collaboration opportunities. This collaboration led to signing with Flame’s label, propelling her from local performances to international tours. Her first major performance with Flame was an eye-opener, playing in front of 13,000 people, an experience that equipped her with invaluable lessons in performance and ministry.
Mentorship: A Full Circle
Reflecting on her experiences, V Rose emphasizes the importance of mentorship. Inspired by her time with Flame, she has embraced the role of mentoring new artists, including her own protege, Lyric the Genius. Drawing from her journey, she seeks to inspire young talents, sharing the wisdom gained not just through words but by example.
The Creation of ‘Fourth’
One of the most pivotal projects in V Rose’s career is her album “Fourth”, created during a transitional phase as she left behind traditional record deals to embark on her independent path. Despite the challenges and doubts, her faith led her to not only produce the album but also find immense success as “I Surrender” went viral. Creating “Fourth” was a testament to her ability to innovate and thrive on independence.
Looking Ahead
As V Rose continues to evolve as an artist, producer, and mentor, she remains committed to using her platform to inspire and nurture the next generation of artists. Her journey is far from over, with plans to release more music and visual content. Engaging with her audience and sharing authentic stories are central to her mission as she encourages budding artists to trust in their God-given talents.
Conclusion
V Rose’s story is a powerful testament to faith, perseverance, and the transformative power of mentorship. From her early foundation in the church to her current role as a mentor, she embodies the spirit of an artist dedicated to her craft and purpose. For anyone seeking to follow in her footsteps, she stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration, proving that with faith and determination, one can indeed go forth and conquer.
