In the ever-evolving world of electronic music, where innovation often overshadows emotion, Rose Ringed emerges as an artist who bridges both worlds with grace, authenticity, and purpose. Hailing from Amsterdam, Netherlands, he is not just a DJ, producer, live performer, drummer, and jazz pianist, but a storyteller whose sound transcends the dance floor to touch the deepest layers of the human soul. His journey, like his music, is rooted in profound emotion and personal transformation, a life shaped by tragedy, rebuilt through art, and defined by the courage to feel. Rose Ringed’s relationship with music began early, born from both parental influence and personal loss. His parents were ardent music lovers, and his mother, an accomplished jazz ballerina, filled his early years with rhythm, melody, and movement. But when Rose lost her at the tender age of eleven, his world shifted forever. What could have become silence turned instead into symphony. In grief, he discovered sound as a form of healing. Listening to his father’s trance CDs from Ibiza, featuring the euphoric soundscapes of Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, and Paul Kalkbrenner, Rose found emotional release in music’s ability to transform pain into beauty.
These early experiences formed the foundation of his artistic philosophy: that music is not just entertainment, it’s emotion in motion, a universal language for healing and connection. Determined to give sound to feeling, Rose honed his craft through drumming and jazz piano, disciplines that taught him the art of rhythm, harmony, and improvisation. His command of both live instrumentation and electronic production allowed him to develop a style uniquely his own, a signature blend of melodic euphoria, emotional depth, and cinematic resonance. His productions are known for their lush chord progressions, heartfelt melodies, and euphoric builds that linger long after the final note fades. By 2018, Rose’s talent began attracting global attention. His breakout moment came with the “Spring Memories” EP, where his track “In Your Arms Again” caught the ear of Kölsch, who featured it on BBC Radio 1, signaling the arrival of a new melodic visionary. From that moment, Rose Ringed’s trajectory was unstoppable. He founded his own imprint, Closed Eyes Recordings, built as a home for music that prioritizes emotion over trend.
With over two dozen releases and collaborations on respected labels like Diynamic and Spectrum, he has earned support from luminaries including Solomun, Joris Voorn, Michael Bibi, Tiesto, and David Guetta. From the underground clubs of Amsterdam to global festival stages such as Tomorrowland, Loveland, Lief Festival, and Val de Bagnes (Verbier), Rose Ringed’s performances have become immersive experiences, not just DJ sets, but journeys through human emotion. With a background as a live artist since 2023, he incorporates real-time instrumentation, piano, and percussion into his shows, creating moments that blur the line between the studio and the stage. Having shared the decks with electronic heavyweights like Sven Väth, Mano Le Tough, Mind Against, Booka Shade, and Âme, he now stands poised to become one of the defining melodic artists of his generation. But for Rose Ringed, success is not measured in fame or festivals, it’s in connection. “As an artist,” he once said, “I want to create openness and inspire people to connect to their emotions and deeper feelings again. I have to give the world more than I’ve been given.” It is this philosophy that underpins every note he plays and every song he releases, none more so than his most personal project to date: his album “Mylène”.
On October 17, 2025, Rose Ringed released his long-awaited album “Mylène”, a deeply personal, 17-track journey through memory, loss, and emotional rebirth, released on his own Closed Eyes Recordings label. More than an album, “Mylène” is a memoir in sound, a loving tribute to his late mother, whose name it bears. Through it, Rose transforms grief into melody and heartbreak into hope, crafting a work that speaks to the universal process of healing. “Mylène” is not only an artistic milestone but also the culmination of a lifelong emotional arc, a sonic narrative that traces Rose’s evolution from a grieving child to an adult who has found peace and meaning in remembrance. Every sound, from the warm piano chords to the euphoric synth rises, reflects his mother’s influence, her grace as a ballerina, her love for music, and her enduring spirit that continues to guide him.
In Rose’s words, “The album has the timeline of me as a young boy losing her, then a man still mourning as if I was 11, now after healing myself becoming an adult who sees her loss in a new way.” Every lyric, melody, and harmony in “Mylène” is his; written, sung, produced, and mixed entirely by him, after five years of vocal training and countless nights of introspection. The album features standout tracks like “So Much Love To Give” and “Gotta Let You Go”, alongside exclusive pieces that blend euphoric energy with intimate reflection. Through these songs, Rose paints his emotional landscape, from heartbreak to healing, from sorrow to serenity. “Mylène” is, at its core, an act of love. It celebrates a life lost too soon, but more importantly, it celebrates the light that remains. With its soaring melodies, soulful vocals, and cathartic rhythms, the album stands as both a tribute and a testament, proof that even in grief, there can be beauty; even in farewell, there can be music. Rose Ringed doesn’t just produce songs, he tells stories through sound. And with “Mylène”, he invites the world to listen, feel, and heal alongside him.
