Rosa Laricchiuta is a Canadian singer-songwriter born in Montreal. She started singing in a Karaoke bar in Montreal in 2000s. A music agent noticed Rosa's talent and hired her to sing in 5 Stars Hotels and Casinos in Asia including South Korea, Macau, Indonesia, Dubai, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong-Kong.
After 10 years of touring, she came back to Montreal and eventually moved to New Brunswick where she entered the 3rd season of the TV Show La Voix [1](2015), the French Canadian version of the popular American show The Voice. Her blind audition song was "Perfect" by Pink. All four coaches turned around for her. She eventually picked Quebec rocker Éric Lapointe as her coach. Singing "The Show Must Go On" from legendary rock band Queen in the semi finals,[2] Rosa displayed her strong stage presence, intensity and powerful voice to obtain her ticket to the big finale. In the finale Rosa[3] also had the opportunity to share the stage with Def Leppard, Kelly Clarkson, Jean Leloup and her idol Melissa Etheridge. Even if Rosa didn’t win the big prize, she left a strong impression as a new female rocker on the Quebec music scene.
After the show ended, her coach Eric Lapointe offered Rosa to be his backing vocalist for his tour.
She was also invited by Melissa Etheridge to perform "Bring me some water" in Moncton and Montreal in her Canadian tour.
Shortly after, she signed with S7 Productions[4] for a French Album directed by famous Quebec singer-songwriter Sylvain Cossette who won several awards and is well respected in the Quebec music industry. Her first album in French, Rosa, was launched in October 2015.[5] Three of its songs got airplay in French Canadian radios in Quebec and New Brunswick. Her song "Manquer de toi" was a charted hit.
In 2016, Rosa is touring with her show Bête de Scène all over Quebec and New Brunswick. She is also be part of «5X5» and «Glam rock» and working with Éric Lapointe. Rosa is currently working on her first English album.
Rosa will be touring with multi-platinum selling Rock Progessive band Trans-Siberian Orchestra on their USA West Coast tour starting in November 2016. She will be one of the vocalists of the band.
