Turning passion into a career is something that happens every now and then, and many notable people have built names for themselves by turning their passion into profit and, ultimately, careers. Rosa Cesareo’s journey into music began at the age of four, as she would sing and dance to her favorite songs by Amy Winehouse, Brittney Spears and Gwen Stefani. From that point, she would eventually decide to take music up as a career.
The Las Vegas-based 21-year-old musician with an Italian father and Iranian mother has dazzled at different venues and convinced diverse groups of people of her talents and artistry. She had a rich and distinct tone at a very young age and was always eager to show off her skills at karaoke bars. Getting ingrained into music was largely influenced by her parents, who often played music from different cultures in the house. So, she developed a global taste in the craft and created her unique sound from the myriad of sounds she spent time listening to.
While it has been mostly self-developed, Rosa Cesareo’s career had the support of the important people in her life. In middle school, when she decided to learn the piano, her father bought her first piano from consignment as a gift, which went a long way in helping her become the artist she is today. So, from performing music from other artists she enjoyed as a child to self-learning how to play the piano through YouTube, Rosa has come full circle as an intentional artist passionate about the craft.
She wrote her first song at age 15 to express herself and tell stories about what she was going through at the time, a turbulent period in her life. After releasing her songs on SoundCloud for a while, she decided she wanted to study music for her higher education. She proceeded to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where she is studying Production & Sound Design in her final year.
Rosa Cesareo has fully immersed herself into her element as a musician and has been taking opportunities that allow her to perform her original songs. She has performed at solo, duo and band gigs in Boston and Las Vegas. Her latest single, “Pretty Eyes,” was released on September 7, 2022, alongside remixes by Grammy-nominated Producer StoneBridge, and mixes from MaxVangeli, The Fifth Guys, Going Deeper and Invisible.
With the new song streaming on all digital platforms, Rosa Cesareo has further enmeshed herself in the music industry as she pursues success and acceptance. She sees herself becoming a globally recognized artist over the next few years. “Music is my life, I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else” Rosa said, “This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
