BIOGRAPHY
Rosabella Gregory is an award winning singer-songwriter, composer and arranger. She has released three albums and performed her work throughout the UK and internationally, as a solo artist at venues such as The Royal Festival Hall, Pizza Express Jazz Club, Joe’s Pub (NYC) and 606 as well as in support of Jools Holland on his Country House tour. Other Career highlights include a live Radio 2 session with ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris and winning the International Prize in the New York Songwriters Circle Song Contest, which gained her the support of Grammy winning producer Russ Titelman who compared her to "a young Joni Mitchell".
Her musicianship has also led to wide ranging collaborations with such luminaries as Bob James, Anoushka Shankar and Soumik Datta.
Rosabella is convinced that honing her skills as a writer and understanding the craft of ‘the song’ has informed all facets of her creativity thus affording her opportunities in Theatre, Opera , musicals and Film/TV Examples of this include City Stories (numerous venues including a London residency at St James Theatre and 59E59 Theatre New York). ‘My Marcello’, a musical comedy and BEAM selection, ‘Where No Bell Tolls’ an aria commissioned by the National Opera Studio (Hoxton Hall/ Grimeborn), Composing Opera Up Close’s online opera for children ‘Sammy and the Beanstalk’ and bespoke music for Channel 4’s The Last Leg. Rosabella was also nominated to create an original song for The Canales Project ‘Hear Her Song’ initiative.
Collaborating with her twin Dina has given Rosabella some of her most rewarding writing experiences, from in their early years writing a rock opera for the ENO Lillian Bayliss programme to winning the Vivian Ellis prize together at the age of 21, right up to the present day and their collaboration on a wonderful new adaptation of The Wind in the Willows starring Jennifer Saunders and Harriet Walter for Audible.
