“Shanleigh Rose” Is a grounded and intelligent young Singer-Songwriter from Maleny, Queensland who interweaves the sounds of folk, country and pop into her music. Her songs, drawing from both personal experiences and universal themes, are simultaneously an intimate, genuine, and memorable reflection of her soul.
She has certainly cemented a solid foundation at an early stage of her career, graduating the CMAA Junior Academy, as well as earning the title of NAB Gympie Muster Junior Talent Search Winner and releasing her hit single “Here We Go Again” that attained curated playlists and over 50,000 Spotify streams all in 2023.
Shanleigh began 2024 at the Tamworth CMF where she was awarded the Tamworth Songwriter's Association John P. Toomey Commemorative Award for youth Songwriting with her song "good Luck with your Love," as well as a Capitol Country Music Association Award for Junior Songwriter of the year with her song "Boy Next Door." Additionally, in September she was announced a top 5 finalist in the Groundwater CMF KIX-start competition.
She has also performed and shared the stage with artists such as Luke O'Shea, Col Finley, Kelly Cork and Will Day and has been invited to perform at events such as "Tamworth CMF", “Beat the Retreat” Veterans Concert, “Rangebow Festival," “Gympie Music Muster,” & "Maleny Music Festival."
This committed and passionate recording artist was inspired by a range of talented artists, including, Taylor Swift, Kasey Chambers, Zac Bown Band, Hozier, and so many more. From an early age their story telling, imagery and melodies, influenced Shanleigh to craft her own contemporary fusion of country, pop and folk that creates a vibrant tapestry of sound that is both pleasing to the ear and hard not to love.
Her latest single, Lost is a haunting track that blends the storytelling essence of country and folk. This song captures the unrelenting pull of mental health through a metaphor of the ocean. “Lost” tells the story of trying to find safety and stability on dry land, only to be drawn back into the crashing waves. With Rose’s vivid imagery, her lyrics create a profound sense of struggle and vulnerability.
