V.ROSE | SheHH PODCAST S2E5 - SINGER-SONGWRITER, INDIE WEST MG, MUSIC INDUSTRY AS A WOMAN, MENTORING

The SheHH podcast is a podcast series all about Christian women in the front and behind the scenes of Christian music all over the world. The name is a play on the phrase CHH, which stands for Christian Hip Hop, but SheHH is for all genres (and all women!) within Christian music.  

Welcome to Series two, which is themed the Gritty Truths. We're speaking to amazing women and learning more about the realities of being called into music ministry, especially as a woman.   

In this episode, we speak to the amazing V.Rose. She has been in the industry since her pre-teen days and has worn many hats along her journey. She is incredibly honest, warm and transparent with Paula about the Christian music industry, which is so refreshing to see.
