How did you get into artist development and become a performance expert?

I began my career as a background singer for artists that include: Diddy, Heavy D., Carl Thomas, Mase, Kelly Price, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson and several others. This work was prevalent in helping me hone my craft as a solo artist and release my debut album “All Heart, No Regrets”. It took about 10 years to possess a sustainable confidence to create this album, and after touring for about a year, I was exhausted and felt I had completed the task. It was now time to explore some new ways of being an artist. The culmination of these experiences prepared me for my next assignment as an Artist Development and Performance Expert. It was Carolyn Williams from RCA Records who first hired me to work with talent at the label – while I simultaneously worked as Clive Davis’ assistant at J Records. This training was pivotal in providing me the armor necessary to pour into artists of all disciplines.

What do you hope each reader takes away from this book?

When the reader completes my book, my hope is that they are able to answer the following questions with a solid measure of certainty; Why You? Would you Choose You?
I want them to Identify and Abide in their Force!
I want them to Pre-Approve Themselves and never Outsource Their Win ever again!
Do you mind sharing why self-care is so important to you?

I am in the “Energy” business. My job is to infuse every artist with a level of kinetic energy until they are able to access their own. Self-care is imperative…and if I don’t pay attention, I will deplete my own resources and have nothing to give. It’s impossible to be effective as a coach without taking care of myself first.
What can we expect to see from KJ Rose in the future?

You can expect to see me jumping into unfamiliar waters, stretching comfort zones, and shocking the systems of performers every chance I get.
