Rosanna "Rosie" Bella Victoria Eriksdotter-Munter, Born 26 September 1987 in Stockholm
, is a Swedish recording artist and singer-songwriter. She says that the genre in which she operates is best described as “big emotional, chaotic, beautiful pop”.
Rosanna's first experience of pop-stardom was as an original member of the pop girl group Play. Tommy Mottola signed Rosanna to Columbia Records when she was thirteen years old. As a member of Play she toured with Destiny’s Child and lived in the US for four years. Play sold over a million records. After Play disbanded a 17-year-old Rosanna moved back to Sweden. Music college followed. She played in bands, toured Swedish festivals, did the whole growing up thing. “I knew then that the stage was the only place I wanted to be,” she remembers, “but next time with my own music.”
Rosanna has appeared on 2 of David Åström's (aka Kocky) albums, Kingdome Came (Released 2007) and Stadium Satus (2008). The songs she is featured in are Tricks (which she co-wrote with Kocky), My Grandma and Be Part Of It All in Kingdom Came. From "Stadium Status" she sung in and Oh!,Fast Car, We're Back and has a minor appearance in Promise 2 Call (she also co-wrote Oh We're Back and Promise 2 call with Kocky). Rosanna has also performed the song 4ever Juvenile live with Kocky. Before her days in PLAY, she achieved Scandinavian stardom by landing the role of Petra in the Swedish film Eva & Adam fyra födelsedagar och ett fiasko, based on a famous Swedish teen sitcom. Her character steals Adam away from Eva, and begins dating him after he and Eva break up.
Her group PLAY has also been performing in the Mary-Kate and Ashley movie, Holiday in the sun.
Rosanna is currently working on her solo career. She released her debut single, "Waterfall" in UK on the 22nd of August, 2010, via Popjustice Hi-Fi, the label venture of the highly influential music website Popjustice. "Waterfall", it's B-side "Runaway", and a number of solo tracks have been produced and co-written in London with Jim Eliot (who has previously worked with Kylie, Sunday Girl and Ladyhawke).
Rosanna enjoys cookery and cycling. Re: the former, risotto and cupcakes are a speciality, usually on separate plates. “People say bakery is a science,” she says, “but I just throw everything in and hope for the best. It works for cupcakes and it works for my songs, too.”
