Ariel Rose Named July “Best Vocalist Of The Month” With Her Song "Many Miles Apart”

Ariel Rose

Ariel Rose, a promising, young pop singer & writer based in Miami, FL, has won the July SingerUniverse “Best Vocalist Of The Month” Competition, for her performance of her song “Many Miles Apart” (co-written by Juan Vicente Zambrano & Taura Lennox). "Many Miles Apart" is included on her debut CD Rhythms Of Life, which she released in June 2010.

“Many Miles Apart” is a very appealing, graceful pop/AC ballad, which sounds like it's ready for radio play. The song is well written, and features a pretty melody throughout the song (particularly in the chorus) and a lovely acoustic guitar-based arrangement. This song provides a fine showcase for Rose's expressive lead and background vocals. "Many Miles Apart" was expertly produced by Juan Vicente Zambrano, a prominent pop & Latin writer/producer who's worked with Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony.

Rose, who is 17, was born and raised in Miami, where she started to perform publicly at the age of six. She was inspired by listening to such favorite artists as Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion and Shakira. Rose has performed at many talent shows, and has appeared in several professional, music theatre productions such as Narnia, Madeline's Christmas, A Chorus Line and Pirates Of Penzance. She has also sung "The Star-Spangled Banner" and other patriotic songs at sporting events, including Miami Heat, Florida Marlins and Miami Dolphins games.

Rose collaborated on her Rhythms of Life album with Zambrano, whom she met via a studio owner friend, Steve Cuiffo. Interestingly, the album features songs sung in both English and Spanish. "Being from Miami, I've grown up loving Latin music," said Rose. "So I decided to record an album which included songs in Spanish. And on 'Many Miles Apart' (which is sung in English), I added some Spanish lyrics which I whisper." Another key song on her album is "My Perfect Day," an uptempo cut for which she has filmed a music video.

Zambrano spoke highly of Rose and her music: "Working with Ariel has been a great privilege," he said. "Her natural talent combined with her professional attitude and artistic maturity create the perfect combination that will make her one of the great young artists in the music industry."

Since the release of her CD in 2010, Rose has been promoting her album online, and she has performed many shows, including charity events and the Special Olympics. Rose also performed recently at a Miami Beach beauty show, and she has done some modeling. Notably, she has struck a relationship with clothing designer Ema Savahl, who designs all her dresses and gowns.

Currently, Rose is writing and recording songs for her next album. She has begun collaborating with producer Jorge Luis Piloto (a Latin Grammy award winner), and she will continue to write and record with Zambrano.
