Roselyn Cloake Performing at the South Canterbury Sports Awards
You know that the right music makes every occasion more enjoyable and more memorable ...
So, when you've invested your valuable time and effort in planning a corporate function or special event, you want to make sure that your friends, family, clients, customers and/or colleagues enjoy every minute, and that means you want a professional musician to take care of the music for you. If you are looking for live backgournd music to entertain your guests, Roselyn Cloake is there to help you.
Roselyn Cloake is a passionate singer, with a voice that touches your soul, she sings jazz, roots, and rhythm. Inspired by Sarah McLauchlan, Madeleine Peyroux and Norah Jones, she is now working on her solo project singing her own music and the well known tracks of all those that have influenced her. Creating a sound that eases your mind she lays you back with her sombre tones, while you nod and smile softly | next
Roselyn’s fan base hears her music and describes it as cool, chilled and laid back. Her solo project is wide in range: '88 keys of happiness', carries not only her vocal talents but a mobile concert piano as well, allowing her to perform her own music and covers rearranged in her unique style for your listening pleasure.

Roselyn invested early on in the piece in 88 keys of glory from Kawai. A weighted keyboard with a DI for maximum sound quality through front of house.
Relying on the heritage of Kawai's highly acclaimed MP9000 and MP95000 stage pianos, this beast boasts high-quality instrument sounds. Including Kawai's famous Concert Grand piano sound. It incorporates the Advanced Hammer Action IV with AR technology, featuring a graded-hammer action, the AHA IV delivers uncompromising feel in a portable keyboard action.
It also features many of the powerful controller functions , including 4-zone control, real-time control knobs. A back light LCD, MIDI I/O, USB connectivity, reverb and effect types add to the power and convenience. Combined with the damper pedal. The Kawai is out to impress. I bought the keyboard of Mark Vanilau - who plays keys for Dave Dobbin. So it has to be good!

Extensive research went into my Personal Amplifier purchase. At the end of the day the extra investment meant that I could have the best of both worlds.
1. A PA system that was easy to use and maneuver and 2. The best on the market for acoustic 1 musician sound in my opinion. The system is in the same world but on a totally different planet to its competitors. The system boast 180 degree sound projection, meanings only one stick is required to power out the sound. Its lightweight and compact yet a grunty wee machine!
Bose is taking sound back to the roots. The system is set up behind or beside the musician. So the sound projection comes from the musician not from the left and right of a stage like it has been traditionally arranged. This adds effect to live performances - the sound is now coming from the musician.
More believable, more enjoyable, more intimate - the way live music should be!

Rose you are an exceptional young entertainer. Her laid back easy listening style of music presented with passion certainly turned heads and won the hearts of many at our 10th annual Wine and Food Festival. Rose you have an absolutely awesome voice and are a very talented pianist. Your presence and performance certainly enriched the festival and those attending.
Best Wishes for your musical career, your passion to sing and perform, talent and professionalism will open many doors and take you far.
