Bio

Contemporary inspirational artist, Denise Rosier (pronounced Rosie-AY), delivers music with an inspiring mix of assuredness and tenderness. Through her uplifting lyrics, she engages your heart, and shares the insight drawn from everyday experiences. Born in Japan, and raised in California, Denise is an award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist. Her music has been released on 5 solo studio albums, and are featured on various compilation albums and television. Denise's first album Only A Whisper Away was released in 2001, and from there her music has taken her to audiences as far away as Osaka, Japan.  Her inspirational albums One Heart (2013), and EVERYDAY (2016) have garnered 6 Positive Music Award nominations, and 4 wins. One Heart yielded award-winning congregational favorite "Spirit Is In This Place".   EVERYDAY was also awarded a nomination for “Best Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album” in the 2016 Independent Music Awards. Her latest album is Heart of Praise Vol. 1, was released in Jan 2019 creating waves as the sound of contemporary New Thought praise.  "Heart Of Praise Vol. 1" has been nominated for the 2019 Independent Music Award in the Best Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album category.  Denise is the only New Thought artist to have been nominated in this category, and hopes it will create a shift in music to recognize that "Inspirational" music includes all faith paths, and not focus the label on Christian/Gospel music.

Denise plays guitar and piano and had a short affiliation with Florida-Band guitar maker, Luna Guitars

Giving Back

Writing, and performing, aren't the only places where Denise invests her creative energy. In 2006, she became a staff writer for the Songs Of Love Foundation. The Songs of Love Foundation is an organization of songwriters who write original songs for children who are terminally ill, or have specials needs. Denise has written songs for over 300 children through this amazing organization, and performed her songs of love in English, Hindi, and Chuukese (Micronesian). Professional instrument giant, Yamaha, profiled her for her use of their keyboards in doing good in the world.

HGTV & House Hunters

In 2017, Denise's move from Orange County, California to Colorado Springs, CO was featured on HGTV's show "House Hunters". Soon after their move, Colorado Springs newspaper, The Gazette, published a story on Denise and, her partner, Christy's, move crediting their choice of the Denver suburb as further defeating the city's conservative and gay-unfriendly reputation.

Denise’s musical expression takes many avenues, but the common denominator is her ability to deliver a song with honesty and refreshing authenticity. Audiences are drawn to her warmth and accessibility, and they see themselves in the stories she tells.

Denise's message is to live with your heart, mind, and life wide open. Open to all that you're becoming .. open to endless possibility .. open to every opportunity to do, and embody, good. Sign up for her newsletter and keep in touch!
