Blending her New England heart with a Southern soul, Mariah Rose is a 33-year-old country singer-songwriter from Massachusetts whose path back to music shaped both her sound and identity as an artist. Having sung for most of her life, Mariah stepped away from music in her mid-20s to explore other paths, only to find her way back with renewed purpose.

​

“The five-year hiatus wasn’t something I planned,” she says, “but it brought me closer to music and more in tune with who I want to be as an artist.”

​

During that time, Mariah competed in bodybuilding competitions, gaining a deeper understanding of discipline, the human body, and overall health and wellness. The experience challenged her mentally and physically, reinforcing her belief in what she’s capable of beyond music. She also began documenting her journey through a personal blog, sharing insights, workouts, recipes, and reflections—eventually realizing that the voice she was meant to share was the one she had set aside years earlier.

​

That voice led her back to songwriting.

​

Mariah’s sound blends a pop and rock-and-roll edge with a country twang, drawing inspiration from contemporary country rock, classic rock and roll, and ’90s country. She made her mark with her debut single, “Young Girl,” released in 2022, and continues to release music rooted in honest storytelling, driving rhythm, and raw energy.

​

Her career highlights include performing the National Anthem for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, appearances at Boston’s Hard Rock Cafe, being featured as Country 102.5’s Local Catch of the Week, and a Rising Star of Massachusetts nomination from the New England Music Awards.

​

“Country music has always been a part of me,” Mariah says. “It’s what I was raised on—and the authenticity of it is what I hope listeners connect with as I continue releasing new music.”
