Persistence and a work ethic that would intimidate most political leaders are just two of the many qualities that make Rose Cora Perry “a force to be reckoned with.” Her development of leadership skills and the ability to fight through the toughest of conditions are attributes that Perry fostered quickly and easily as a child prodigy from a long-line of entrepreneurs.
A performer at age four, songstress and model since age seven, in charge of managing the secretarial and promotional aspects of her mother’s health and fitness facility at 10, and finally, the CEO of her own record label at 15 years of age, Perry prides herself on her ability to accomplish anything to which she sets her mind.
In her academic career, Rose leaves a shadow that is almost impossible to live up to: boasting a near perfect G.P.A, and making more Honour role lists than some of the world’s most prestigious leaders. Rose has an insatiable appetite for success; always working to her full potential, even if the subject matter is not of her particular preference.
Trained in martial arts as a child, Perry learned the importance of honing one’s inner strength, and acquiring self-discipline. She actively contests that the only person that can hold oneself back in life is oneself, and thus, the importance of mastering intuitiveness and connectivity with one’s body and mind is paramount.
Never succumbing to negative temptation or peer pressure in her youth, Rose acts as a positive rolemodel by leading a substance-free healthy lifestyle.
As the former founding member and frontwoman for two popular independent Canadian rock quartets, Rose professed her strong moral principles through her socially-conscious and insightful lyrics and poetry.
Assuming the roles of Head of Promotions, Bookings, Publicity, Management, and Artist Development, Rose Cora Perry led her bands to national success securing them performance spots on world-renowned festivals: Warped Tour, CMW, The Pottahawk Pissup, & Meanyfest N.Y.C.
She single-handedly was responsible for arranging their North American tours, publicity opportunities, sponsorship deals, and licensing agreements, including a negotiation which made Anti-Hero the first-ever Canadian artist to have their material used in accordance with MTV’s hit tv show, Next.
Both HER's and Anti-Hero’s acclaim along with Perry’s management know-how continue to elect her as the perfect candidate to represent the perspective of independent Canadian artists in several notable media exposés. Additionally, her experiences in the music industry as both an artist, and a business professional acted as the ideal launching pad for her own hit column, “So You Wanna be in a Rock Band?”, a weekly advice series that offers aspiring independent musicians a realistic perspective of the Canadian music biz.
Originally published by her college’s newspaper, The Interrobang, Perry’s column was quickly syndicated worldwide and at the conclusion of its third year boasted a dedicated readership of over 100,000 per issue.
Rose Cora Perry’s intelligent, blatant, and well-researched style makes her writing widely enjoyable among varying demographics. Her witty acumen and sharp tongue make her an excellent interview subject, a champion of rhetorical debate, and a fascinating spokeswoman.
Since the inception of her column, Perry has gone on to complete writing assignments ranging anywhere from community updates to CD reviews to promotional biographies for various clientele. In conjunction with her print journalistic efforts, Rose was put in charge of several roles within her community’s local broadcast media including an Entertainment VJ position for Rogers Television’s, London Calling. More recently, her astonishing achievements and ongoing contributions to her hometown's music scene afforded her the great privilege of being hand-picked to act as a Honourary Voting Committee Member & Guest Seminar Speaker for the Jack Richardson Awards.
Since releasing her acclaimed debut solo album, Off Of the Pages, and founding her own non-for-profit foundation, MusicSaves, which aims to impart onto troubled youth the healing capacity of music, Rose has not only been asked to guest lecture for Fanshawe College, Rock Camp for Girls London & Metalworks Institute, but further had the distinguished honour of attending the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards as a special guest artist in recognition of her accomplishments within the Canadian music scene.
A Liberal Arts, Media and Public Relations Honours Post-Graduate from Fanshawe College, and a Bachelors with Honours alumnus, in the field of Social Psychology, from the prestigious University of Western Ontario, Rose Cora Perry is not afraid to take on a challenge. She welcomes the opportunity to learn new skills, and develop on both a personal and professional platform.
It is certainly clear that Rose Cora Perry loves to learn, but further, loves to succeed, and with an unquenchable thirst for greatness, there is no doubt in our minds that she will.
