Kathryn Rose is a busy artist and music industry multitasker, known for her artful brand of cinematic pop. With five solo albums, and multiple single releases, her most well known original songs include I Married Myself, Yellowknife, Jingle Queen, One Person, Cliffhanger… and, at the height of pandemic lockdowns, she wrote, recorded, and released Getting Along, a pandemic duet (featuring Julian Taylor). The poignant and innovative music video for Getting Along, directed by Scott Dobson and Michael Wojewoda continues to win top awards at film festivals all around the world.
As a typically hardworking single mom of two teens Kathryn spends a great deal of time making school lunches or thinking about making school lunches, even though by now they should be making their own damn lunch. She’s also a top voice in demand, working in voiceover / jingles / TV / film scores, and has sung on over 100 albums of many other artists, and toured live with many, including Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLachlan (Afterglow world tour), Patti Labelle, Sir Tom Jones, Anne Murray, Martin Fry (ABC), Ian Thomas, and many more. She sang backups in the house band on TV’s Canadian Idol for 2 seasons, and she once sang a duet with NHL star Claude Lemieux, for Battle of The Blades. He’s not bad!
Kathryn was also a teen actor in film, television, and stage into her late twenties, with a certain amount of embarrassing ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s-era acting footage to prove it… along with a few kinda cool things, like a Max Headroom Coke commercial, a lead role in National Lampoon’s Senior Trip also starring a young Jeremy Renner (and Tommy Chong!), a guest spot in a Don Adams TV show, another with onscreen kisses with Jerry O’Connell, and then there was the time she had her brains sucked out by aliens in War Of The Worlds… one could say KR’s done a little of everything.
In addition to being a long time core artist with symphonic rock touring company Jeans ‘n Classics, Kathryn’s organizational skill set is put to good use as office manager / administrator / tour coordinator for the company. www.kathrynrose.com
