“Try and make Afro beat known all over the world and not just as a genre but also make it get airplay across the continents,” she told Desmond Okraku Danso on Wednesday, July 12, 2023.

The Austrian singer acknowledged Africans for the love, support, and encouragement they give her despite her roots while she represents her roots in a different continent and she is deeply touched.

She grew up in Vienna with her Philippino mother, Gina Alaba, Nigerian father, George Alaba, and her older brother David Alaba.

In 2015 she released her first single “If All Of This is You” as a solo artist. She had a rocky start, nevertheless, she took the time to figure out what kind of style she wants to have for her second single.

One year later, she released her new single “Love Me Right” which was a different sound as she worked with another producer, Rodney Hunter, and it was a huge success – the fresh sound she brought to the table made it to #1 on the Austrian iTunes Charts for almost 4 Weeks.

After this successful project, other projects started to roll in. The big firm Coca-Cola asked Rose May to write the unified song “Can you feel it” for the Special Olympics World Games 2017.

As months went by Rose May started working on a new project with a Songwriter from Germany, named Menno Reyntjes. They wrote a song titled “Take Your Time”, produced by Boris Fleck.

Working with different artists and producers she discovered her love for Afrobeat on one of her singles where she collides pop music &afro beats called “My Love (Sabi O)”, produced by Adrian Louis & Sovida Beatz and written by Rose May Alaba.

Meanwhile, Rose May worked on new songs and achieved her musical dream of collaborating with a Nigerian artist. She collaborated with Mayorkun and producer Kiddominant on her new single titled ’50/50″, which went on to top in Nigerian and on Nigerian Tunes Charts.

Now she is looking forward to facing the challenges that will bring her to the top.
