According to longtime Boston Globe music critic Steve Morse, 2011 alumna Shea Rose is "that rare artist who can bridge diverse styles such as soul, funk, rock, rap, and jazz—and bring her unique stamp to each."

Rose has won awards ranging from R&B/Soul/Urban Contemporary Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards to the SESAC Performance Activity award, and was even featured on Terri Lyne Carrington's 2011 Grammy Award–winning jazz album The Mosaic Project. Rose was chosen by Queen Latifah to be the spokeswoman for CoverGirl's 2010 Ignite Your Persona campaign and in 2012 she won the Red Bull Soundstage fan-driven contest to perform as part of the Universal/Red Bull showcase at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

Shea Rose will be performing live at Berklee Summer in the City on Wednesday, July 18, at 5:45 p.m. on Children's Wharf, 308 Congress Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
