TJ Rosa grew up in the tiny town of Dayton, Indiana, but currently resides in West Lafayette, where she attends Purdue University studying Elementary Education. She is 22 years old and her instrumental skills include guitar and ukulele. She was recently gifted a banjo (thanks, Mom!) and loves getting to know it.

TJ develops her sound by combining her wide range of influences, including acoustic pop, folk, jazz, and show tunes. Her sound is unique, fresh, and always changing. She has won several awards for her songwriting, including first place in the Songwriters Association of Mid-North Indiana’s Shirley Martin Scholarship for Young Songwriters in 2016 with her song “Terrible Liar." The subject matter of TJ’s tunes ranges from love songs to lullabies, and most things in between, and she’s performed locally at farmers markets, festivals, gallery walks, and concerts.

TJ released her first EP entitled “Yellow” in 2016, which features five of her original songs, and released two singles in 2017.
