Rose Bonica is a live electronic act, music producer and visual artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. Rose’s production style is complex, self taught and unpredictable. Her work is a reflection of her perspective on everything from love and pain to the joys of domestic cats or the experience of navigating a world in crisis.
She shares about her latest release, “Life doesn’t stop—and that’s okay. Sometimes, it takes time to find your rhythm again. In the past three years, my world has flipped, flopped, broken, and rebuilt itself. I’ve been trampled and rebirthed, let go of my last name, and now I’m standing at the edge of a new chapter, awaiting the title of Mom.
Before she arrives, I feel the need to shed what was and honor what’s to come. This 2-track EP—QUICKSAND/FEAR ME—is a part of that process. The tracks were created in some of the most turbulent times of my life, when I believed music was all I had. It felt like I had to race to get the tracks out, as if I was desperate to hold onto something amidst the chaos.
Listening back now, with years of space and a different perspective, I hear the beauty in them—raw and unpolished, yet honest. They no longer feel like something I need to explain or defend. They simply exist as snapshots of who I was then, making room for who I am becoming now.”
