Harmony Rose
+ The Milk Blossoms
When did you first get into music? I’ve always loved to sing, and did so in different choirs growing up. I played in a few bands after high school and one project in particular called Moonlings introduced me to everything. I had to break out of my shell just to rehearse, but I was working with someone who treated me like I was right on his level, and taught me about nuance and experimenting. I didn’t start writing tenaciously until my longtime friend, Michelle Rocqet became a roommate in my house. Soon after, we started The Milk Blossoms together.
Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? That’s a good question, it’s probably a mix of records I heard, live shows I saw, the sheer, electric interest in the whole process. I love to write songs, I don’t know if the pursuing aspect was always there but more of a recent-within the last five years feeling. I credit any hope for anything I do in my family, friends and choir teachers. How would you describe the music that you create? I would say it’s some kind of pop music! How has your music evolved since you first began playing music? I used to experiment with what instrument I was playing a song on a lot more than I do now. Now I mostly stick to the ukulele, but I’m open to moving things around again. I think a certain sound has formed organically between the three of us once we settled in our roles of uke, beatboxing and keys. Coming into oneself more over a span of a decade lends to the evolution of the music too as its grown with us in a way.
