Rosie Frater-Taylor

A compelling live performer and one of the most electrifying forces in contemporary crossover music, Rosie Frater-Taylor is a virtuoso guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter of remarkable emotional depth.

Equal parts dedicated student of jazz guitar and admirer of iconic singer-songwriters, she seamlessly weaves rock, alt-pop, neo-soul, new-school jazz, and folk into her singular sound which draws on the legacy of luminaries such as Joni Mitchell, Pat Metheny, and Steely Dan, while incorporating modern, rock-tinged influences like John Mayer, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Madison Cunningham.

The Royal Academy of Music student is the daughter of jazz singer Josie Frater and drummer Steve Taylor.

She has earned widespread critical acclaim, with accolades from KCRW, BBC Radio 1, Jazz FM, MOJO, Hi-Fi, Guitar.com, and Guitar World.

Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page lauded her exceptional “connection with the guitar” following her performance at the Gibson Garage launch. Rosie has also been spotlighted on Quincy Jones’ Qwest TV, Spotify’s ‘Best of Jazz UK 2024’ playlist and has graced the stages of iconic festivals such as Love Supreme, British Summer Time, and the London Jazz Festival.
