Irene Rose is a singer-songwriter, producer and performer. She has been featured on 13 albums and has had 20 songs on the radio. She says, "Too often, in efforts to be accommodating we adjust who we are and what we really want to be agreeable. When we stay true to our purpose, we attract our ideal audience that promotes our message and subsequently yields more meaningful and authentic results. Walking away from record deal in Nashville to pursue her true passion of children's ministry, she encourages us not to change our message to appeal to everyone. She exhorts us to boldly proclaim your message and have the courage to be yourself.
