Eliza Rose

Eliza Rose (born 28 November 1991) is a British DJ, music producer and singer.

Born in the East End of London, Rose grew up in Dalston and began working at the Flashback Records shop when she was 14 years old. A fan of soul and jazz music, she sang from her youth, and began DJing in her late teens, once she had enough money to buy records, seeing it as a way to acquire more music. She attended college and university, and also took courses in music production. She presents a radio show for The Vinyl Factory, and recorded collaborations with a variety of other artists.

Interplanetary Criminal, a DJ and producer, sent Rose the song "B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)", and she wrote lyrics for it, inspired by Pam Grier in the film Coffy. The song proved a surprise success, played heavily on the London club scene and then at the Glastonbury Festival 2022. It entered the UK Singles Chart on 29 July 2022, and in September it peaked at the summit of the chart. She became the first female DJ to top the UK Singles Chart since Sonique in 2000, as well as being the artist with the number one single in the United Kingdom on the day of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and start of the reign of King Charles III. In December 2022, it was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

Rose has also written a novel, What Happens in Dreamland.
