Growing up in the streets of Oakland and other major cities in the Bay Area, Lou Rose inherited a unique swag that is translated to his deep passion for music today. As a rap rookie in late 90's and early 2000's, he partnered up with friends in the neighborhood and showcased his rap skills through the hip hop/rap group, N.R.S. As Lou Rose's addiction for music spawned his creativity to numerous heights, he began to write, sing, rap, compose and engineer at intensifying levels. In 2006, he delivered his first local club hit track "Long Island Ice-T” and from that point, composed numerous mixtapes to make him one of the hardest working artists in the music industry. Never giving up on the American dream, Lou rose dropped his debut album "Evolution" late summer of 2009 and gained overwhelming underground success to help reach his first major music milestone. As CEO and founder of GLOBAL1MUSIC group, the young entrepreneur/artist successfully bridged an exclusive deal with Urban Life and JMD/Universal Music Group to deliver his music across the GLOBE. Lou Rose is currently in the studios finalizing and engineering the final pieces to his sophomore album "COLOR ME BAD" which will drop august 23, 2011.
