If you’re looking for a straight line, you’re looking at the wrong person. Wonqi Rose is a connoisseur of sounds from every corner of the planet, whether it’s digging deep to shed light on the freshest tracks or creating a journey from the comfortable to the bazaar. Her audiences are engaged with bewitching performances, synonymous with enriched soundscapes. Influenced by hip hop, urban style and that underground flavour, Wonqi takes this and fuses it with a dash of the deep and dark, yet holds it all together with the most exquisite and hypnotic of sounds. The backbone of the Wonqi Rose experience always remains the bass. Delving through varied styles and genres, her eclectic taste will have you immersed in an array of tasteful sounds that resonate with her on a bass level.

This Australian born Rose spent her formative years in the South of England, where the music reverberating at the iconic festivals planted a seed and her love of bass music was born. However, it was Melbourne’s underground scene that took that seed, planted it firmly and allowed it to blossom in 2014, when her musical career began. Her passion for music guiding her, Wonqi Rose will search endlessly to find that particular sound, be it the tireless hours spent in the musical world online, or meeting just the right person to share or collaborate with. In just a short time, her journey of dedication and inspiration has proven Wonqi Rose to be one of the most driven acts in the scene. This drive has lead to her working with some of Australia’s most forward-thinking crews, including: The Operatives, Twisted Audio, Uncomfortable Beats,  Culture Jam, Street Level, Rubix Arthouse, The Brink, Whomp Music, Off the Record, Oscillate, Free Dope, The Global Hip Hop Collective, The MakeShift Collective and Signal.

It has been an explosive few years, seeing Wonqi Rose collaborate with other influential artists, including JPS, Dub Princess and Miss Money Toast, and has been invited to perform at many respected music festivals including Twisted Frequency (NZ), Splendour in the Grass, Falls, Wide Open Space, Earth Frequency, Rainbow Serpent, Let Them Eat Cake, The Town, Yemaya, Tanglewood, Manifest, Lucis Labyrinth, Pitch, Earthcore and more. Wonqi has also had the pleasure of supporting some of her own personal favourite artists including Eprom, Sam Binga, Rider Shafique, Om Unit, Arkaik, Chimpo, J:Kenzo, Spectrasoul, Compa, Stanton Warriors and A.Skillz.

Whether inspired by alternative culture, the simplicity of nature, captivating art or the movement of the crowd, Wonqi Rose is sure to bring her authentic brand of bass to flavour the silence in the most imaginative and enticing way…
