The daughter of two artists, Rose began writing songs and poems at age 13. In 2012, a 22-year-old Caroline Rose and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jer Coons launched a Kickstarter to fund the production of a Rose's first album, America Religious. The album, blending American folk music, country, and rockabilly styles was self-published later that year.Caroline Rose shared the stage with Shakey Graves at Love & Lightstream. The band continues across the United States with the last stop at the Skully's Music Diner in Columbus, Ohio on September 19, 2021.
Two years later, Rose released her first nationally distributed album, I Will Not Be Afraid on Little Hi! Records. Like the first album, it was produced with Jer Coons and featured music in a variety of Americana musical styles, including two songs previously released on America Religious.
Rose third album, Loner, was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler, and represented a radical shift away from the musical style of her previous work, blending pop and alternative rock elements, and incorporating prominent synthesizers throughout. Notably, this album also saw a change in lyrical tone, incorporating a number of overtly humorous, sarcastic, and satirical songs. Although Rose played most of the instruments on the album, she formed a new band to perform on tour.
Rose announced a new album called Superstar in 2020, releasing a single and a music video for the song "Feel The Way I Want." According to Rose, the album is a "cinematic pop album that tells a story of someone who leaves behind everything they (gen neutral) know and love in search for something bigger and more glamorous. It’s a story about losing yourself but also finding the brazen self-confidence to follow a dream."
