about

During the D.T.M.A. (Dance This Mess Around) production, my heart shifted from outwardly chasing musical aspirations to the desire to uncover a more profound inner truth and creative purpose. The release stalled for a couple of years after I turned down the opportunity to sign a major record deal and move to Los Angeles. Eventually, with the help of a small innovative team, we published the EP in 2016. The EP release includes an interview series and photo essay. Visit shearose.com to view!
