Anastasia Rose

Neurodivergent Musician, Poet, Model, Artist, & Mental Health Advocate

Originally hailing from Texas, Anastasia Rose has found a new home in the greater Denver metropolitan area. Her music performance career has spanned 25 years as a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist. Anastasia has released numerous songs as a featured artist and as a collaborator for projects like Occam's Rose, Addie Tonic, Linger, Appetite For Destruction, Pretty In Punk, Total Request Live, Then I Fly, and Tony Meade. She has written and produced music for independent filmmaker, Rudy Ruiz, with IMDb credits for her work on "Cease" (featured in the Austin Spotlight Film Festival), "Vengeance Is Mine", and "Drive By Memories" (a documentary about the life of actor, Daniel Villarreal). In May of 2024, for Mental Health Awareness Month, her original song "An Evening In Spring" was featured by the Colorado Music Hall of Fame for its message about her late friend's suicide and calling for more discussion of this epidemic. 

From a young age, Anastasia took to music performance, composition, and education in a virtuosically natural fashion. She was singing before she was talking and playing the piano before she knew how to make friends. Music was always there for her and thus it was bound to become her passion and career as an adult. 

Anastasia's music career is eclectic. She has performed with ensembles such as the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps and Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps which showcased and competed in front of upwards of 20,000 people at venues like the Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the Indianapolis Colts), Sports Authority Field (home of the Denver Broncos), and MetLife Stadium (home of the New York Giants and New York Jets). Anastasia has also performed for various venues and festivals around the Denver metro area such as The Federal Theater, The Aggie Theater, The Oriental Theater, Moxi Theater, the People's Fair, and Punk In The Park. She has toured with several bands including Occam's Rose in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and Then I Fly to perform at Ska By Ska West in 2022. She has recently been invited to be the Mental Health Advisor for the Keep The Beat initiative founded by the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. 

Anastasia has studied under impressive music educators, performers, and pedagogues such as Dr. Angela Winter, Leslie Boerger, Chad Pence, Dr. Alie Farley, Aaron Goldberg, Dr. Janet Landreth and Dr. Richard Shuster.  As a multi-instrumentalist, Anastasia enjoys utilizing her graduate-level music education to compose and produce original scores such as those used in short films like the Austin Spotlight Film Festival finalist, Cease. She also arranges and builds upon others' songwriting such as with her band, Occam's Rose. Anastasia also performs for humanitarian events such as Sensory Friendly Concerts at Swallow Hill Music and the grand opening of the Rehabilitative Rhythms clinic space. 

As of late, in addition to her music, Anastasia has been engaging in several different creative projects such as releasing her first two poetry collections, Poems for An Uncluttered Mind and Poems for An Open Heart and expanding her art portfolio as well as working on music videos for her current music with established artists, videographers, and directors such as Jessica Leza, Maricela Lazcano, Cassandra Flatt, Carissa Rhea Tajudeen, and Rudy Ruiz.
