Rhythm Cafe MKE | Ila Rose | Meet The Artist
Meet a rising Wisconsin singer-songwriter whose sound blends folk, pop, and a touch of theater-inspired drama. Growing up in a musical family in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, she found her voice through songwriting during the pandemic—turning a difficult health crisis into a source of creativity and connection.
Influenced by artists like Adele, she taught herself guitar, began posting original songs online, and discovered the power of expressing emotion through music. Her song “Class Crush” captures that bittersweet feeling of young love, daydreams, and the vulnerability of growing up.
Through heartfelt lyrics, warm vocals, and folk-pop charm, she invites listeners to find their own reflections in her melodies—a reminder that music can heal, connect, and inspire.
