- YEAH, IT JUST BECAME A THING WHERE I JUST REALIZED, LIKE, "OH, THIS IS FREEDOM!

THIS IS TRUE FREEDOM."

I COULD BE DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

I COULD BE BACK WORKING AT THE SMOOTHIE SHOP, AT THE END OF MY SHIFT, BUT I'M ACTUALLY HERE, ABOUT TO GO ON STAGE AND PERFORM, AND THIS IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO.

(UPBEAT MUSIC) - I THINK THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT MUSIC IS THAT IT'S ABOUT THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

- STING STANDS UP, AND I'M JUST LIKE, "THIS IS NOT HAPPENING."

- THERE'S BEEN SO MANY AMAZING SONGWRITERS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF THE ATLANTA SCENE.

- I SAY ATLANTA ARTISTICALLY RAISED ME.

- WE GREW UP IN THE APPALACHIAN FOLK TRADITION IN ATLANTA'S NINETIES HIP HOP REVOLUTION.

- THIS IS SOUNDS LIKE ATL AND EVERYTHING IS ATLANTA.

- ATLANTA, GEORGIA, HOW ARE YOU?!

(CROWD CHEERS) WE'RE ABOUT TO HAVE SOME FUN TONIGHT, YEAH?!

(CROWD CHEERS) I AM YOUR HOST, ATLANTA, OKAY?

MY NAME IS ALGEBRA BLESSED, AND I AM VERY, VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE WITH YOU TO CELEBRATE SOME OF THE MOST ICONIC MUSIC, RIGHT HERE IN MY HOMETOWN, ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

GIVE IT UP!

(CROWD APPLAUDS) SO THE NEXT PERSON COMING TO THE STAGE, I JUST MET HER FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND I'M EXCITED TO BE THE PERSON TO INTRODUCE HER TO YOU.

SHE'S A GRAMMY NOMINATED SINGER, SONGWRITER, AND PRODUCER.

WHEN YOU HEAR HER VOICE, IT'S SO DISTINCTIVE.

YOU'RE GONNA KNOW WHO SHE IS, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, I KNOW YOU HEARD HER BEFORE, RIGHT?

I GUARANTEE YOU, I BET YOU $5.

(CROWD LAUGHS) LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE STAGE MY NEW FRIEND AND YOURS, MISS BABY ROSE!

(CROWD CHEERS) - I CAME UP WITH THE NAME "BABY ROSE" IN ORDER TO HONOR MY GRANDMA ROSE.

SO I NEVER MET HER, BUT GROWING UP I ALWAYS HEARD STORIES ABOUT HER PLAYING PIANO AND, UM, SINGING.

THIS ONE SONG IN PARTICULAR, "GOD BLESS THE CHILD" BY BILLIE HOLIDAY.

AND EVERYONE KIND OF, UM, WOULD TELL ME ABOUT HER VOICE AND HER, HER LOVE OF MUSIC AND EVERYTHING.

AND YEAH, BEFORE SHE BECAME THE GRANDMA, YOU KNOW, OR MAMA OR WHATEVER, SHE REALLY, I GUESS, PURSUED MUSIC.

AND SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE I REALLY GOT MY LOVE FOR MUSIC AS FAR AS SINGING OR MY VOICE FROM AND ALL THAT, BUT I ALWAYS FEEL KIND OF LED AND I, AND I, AND I ATTRIBUTE ALL OF THAT TO HER.

♪ BIBLE SAYS ♪ ♪ AND IT STILL IS NEWS ♪ ♪ MAMA MAY HAVE ♪ ♪ PAPA MAY HAVE ♪ ♪ BUT GOD BLESS THE CHILD ♪ ♪ THAT'S GOT HIS OWN ♪ ♪ THAT'S GOT HIS OWN ♪ (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) - THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE, AS WELL, BUT WHEN I THINK OF, LIKE, THAT INNATE DRAW TO THE PIANO AS A KID, AS A BABY, AND STUFF LIKE THAT, I, I LOOK AT HER AND NOT FOR NOTHING.

ALL OF THE GIRLS ON MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY FOR THE MOST PART HAVE THE MIDDLE NAME ROSE, ME INCLUDED.

SO...

I JUST CHOSE "BABY ROSE" TO JUST START OUT.

MY UNCLE GOT ME A PIANO WHEN I WAS NINE, UM, AND THAT REALLY PUT ME INTO A HEAD SPACE OF, LIKE, "OKAY, THESE POEMS THAT I'M WRITING, I'M GONNA TURN INTO SONGS.

THIS WEAKNESS THAT I WAS ALWAYS TEASED ABOUT IN MY, THE WAY I TALK, MY VOICE, AND STUFF.

I'M GONNA USE THAT AS A STRENGTH."

I MEAN, I LOOK AT MY VOICE AS A GIFT FROM GOD.

TRULY.

YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I TRU-, I, I REALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

SO THIS INSTRUMENT THAT I HAVE TO USE DRAWS PEOPLE IN JUST OFF OF THE LISTEN.

YOU KNOW, IT GETS POLARIZING REACTIONS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART IT'S, LIKE, LOVE, LIKE, OH MY GOD!

BECAUSE I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

I HAVE SOMETHING ON MY HEART TO SAY WHEN I, WHEN I DO SING OUT AND WHEN I WRITE.

IT CAN FEEL SO HEAVY SOMETIMES.

I JUST HOPE WHEN THAT PRESSURE BUILDS UP YOU DON'T LET IT BREAK YOU.

- WHEN I'M ABOUT TO GO ON STAGE, YOU KNOW, IT'S USUALLY MADNESS BEHIND STAGE THAT'S OUTTA MY CONTROL.

LIKE, EVERYBODY'S RUNNING AROUND, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TOO GOOD FOR VIP, SO THEY GOTTA BE BACKSTAGE WITH ME!

FOR SOME REASON, WHICH IS LIKE, OKAY... WHATEVER.

BUT I DO NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF QUIET TIME, LIKE, JUST MOMENTS BEFORE.

LIKE, IF IT'S, LIKE, FIVE MINUTES BEFORE OR SOMETHING, I'LL SEPARATE MYSELF FROM ALL OF THE ENERGY, 'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S OUTTA GOOD INTENTION, LIKE, PEOPLE THINK I'M HYPING UP FOR, LIKE, A FOOTBALL GAME OR SOMETHING, LIKE, AND IT'S, LIKE, YEAH, NO, THIS IS, LIKE, ME GOING ON STAGE.

I NEED A MOMENT.

I USED TO, BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT, LIKE, HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO PROTECT YOUR VOICE AND STUFF?

IT WAS, LIKE, MY FIRST TOUR?

(LAUGHS) OH, WOO!

IT WAS NOT, (CHUCKLES) IT WAS NOT THE VIBE.

WE WOULD BE, LIKE, "LET'S GET LIT, AND THEN WE'LL PRAY, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GO ON STAGE."

NO, THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO ATTAIN THAT.

LET ME JUST GET A MOMENT, BREATHE... COAX MYSELF, TALK TO GOD, LIKE, "GOD, THIS IS FOR YOU."

AND IT WILL TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF OF ME FEELING LIKE I NEED TO DELIVER SO MUCH AS POURING THIS SENSE OF GRATITUDE OVER ME.

LIKE, THANK YOU THAT I'M EVEN ABLE TO HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE TO DO THIS.

LIKE, I COULD BE DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

I COULD BE BACK WORKING AT THE SMOOTHIE SHOP, AT THE END OF MY SHIFT, BUT I'M ACTUALLY HERE, ABOUT TO GO ON STAGE AND PERFORM.

AND...

THIS IS WHAT I LOVE TO DO.

IF I HAD TO GO FOR THE ONES THAT TRULY MADE ME FEEL LIKE I COULD DO THIS?

IT WOULD BE ELTON JOHN.

LIKE, WHEN I WAS A KID I PAINTED MY PIANO RED BECAUSE I WAS JUST LIKE, "THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN TO GO OUT ON STAGE AND SING THESE BEAUTIFUL SONGS IN THESE CRAZY FITS!"

AND LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, THE SINGER-SONGWRITER ENERGY I REALLY GET FROM HIM.

UM... AMY WINEHOUSE.

OH MY GOD.

I WAS SO YOUNG WHEN I HEARD HER FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND, LIKE, WHAT SHE WAS GOING THROUGH A LITTLE BIT AND SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN REAL TIME.

HOW HONEST SHE WAS IN WRITING HER TRUTH.

"BACK TO BLACK" AND "FRANK" WERE SO INFLUENTIAL TO ME.

TO BE BE ABLE TO FEEL LIKE I COULD DO IT AS WELL.

NINA SIMONE.

UM... JANICE JOPLIN.

YEAH, JUST... WOMEN AND MEN WITH A VERY... STRONG SENSE OF SELF THAT COULD NOT BE FABRICATED.

IT, IT, YOU KNOW, IT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED.

IT FELT, LIKE, ALL RIGHT... THAT'S SO, YOU KNOW, WHERE, "IF I'M GONNA DO THIS, I HAVE TO GO, I HAVE TO GO THERE."

LIKE, IT CAN'T BE, LIKE, TRYING TO JUST, YOU KNOW... EASE IN.

BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS VOICE THAT USED TO BE A CURSE TO ME IN A LOT OF WAYS GROWING UP, BEFORE I UNDERSTOOD, AND, AND REALLY ENCOUNTERED THESE MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS YOU LIKE.

YEAH.

IT JUST BECAME A THING WHERE I JUST REALIZED LIKE, "OH, THIS IS FREEDOM.

THIS IS TRUE FREEDOM.

TO BE ABLE TO USE YOUR INSTRUMENT AND GO...

COMPLETELY CRAZY WITH IT."

LIKE, WHETHER THAT MEANS GETTING THROUGH SOMETHING AND SHINING A LIGHT ON IT SO THAT IT'S NO LONGER A DEEP-SET FEAR IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT'S, LIKE, KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT OR, LIKE, YOU KNOW, JUST SHINING A LIGHT ON IT LIKE, "HEY, I SEE YOU."

I DON'T CARE HOW VULNERABLE I HAVE TO LOOK, OR HOW MUCH OF A FOOL I HAVE TO LOOK LIKE BEING VULNERABLE.

BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE FEELS LIKE THIS, TOO, AND WE 'GON GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.

LIKE, THIS CAN'T WIN.

I LIKE TO GO FOR THINGS THAT EXCITE ME AND THAT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M PUSHING PAST A COMFORT ZONE OR WIDENING A SPACE WHERE, MAYBE, PEOPLE HAVE MET ME AT.

I THINK IT ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME, IF I FEEL THAT URGE, IT'S AN HONEST URGE TO GO FOR THAT.

PUSH THE LIMIT.

BECAUSE AS A BLACK WOMAN IN THIS INDUSTRY, WE'RE OFTEN BOXED IN BEFORE WE EVEN GET A CHANCE TO SAY WHAT WE'RE DOING.

LIKE, MY NAME IS BABY ROSE, I'M, I'M, I LIVE IN ATLANTA.

LIKE, I'M AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMED TO BE A RAPPER OR WHATEVER?

OR LIKE A SINGER?

I DON'T KNOW.

(LAUGHS) IF YOU DON'T PRESS PLAY, YOU WON'T KNOW THAT IT'S A WHOLE WELL.

LIKE, IT'S DEEP, YOU KNOW?

AND SO YEAH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME, ESPECIALLY, TO PUSH FURTHER AND FURTHER AND FURTHER 'CAUSE IT ONLY WIDENS OPEN THAT BOX, THAT NARROW KIND OF SPACE THAT UM, BLACK WOMEN, ESPECIALLY, ARE PLACED IN, IN THIS INDUSTRY.

I DON'T FEEL PRESSURED TO, LIKE, UM, CHANGE MY CREATIVE OR BEND OR, LIKE, FLOW INTO WHATEVER IS "HOT" OR WHATEVER IS BEING, LIKE, PROMOTED THE MOST.

AND I HOPE THAT THOSE WOMEN OR MEN THAT ARE AT THE TOP THAT'S WHAT, EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANNA DO!

I JUST THINK THAT, THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A MORE DIVERSE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A BLACK ARTIST IN THIS INDUSTRY AT THE TOP OF YOUR STUFF.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO ALL BE ONE, NOT THAT IT'S ONE TYPE, BUT GIVE SHINE TO THOSE THAT ALSO PUSH PAST THAT NARRATIVE, AS WELL, OR GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, OR LEFT OF CENTER, OR WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT.

I DON'T KNOW, I SEE IT HAPPENING LEFT AND RIGHT, THIS KIND OF RENAISSANCE THAT IS HAPPENING FOR ARTISTS THAT ARE TRULY TAKING CONTROL OF THEIR SOUND AND THEIR NARRATIVE, THEIR DESTINIES.

NOT WHAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.

HOW BEAUTIFUL AND SPECIAL YOU ARE.

Y'ALL ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.

AND BEFORE WE MOVE ON, I WOULD JUST LOVE IF YOU WOULD SING THIS LAST HOOK WITH ME.

ATLANTA'S JUST ORIGINAL, IN THOUGHT AND THEORY.

AND, I THINK THAT'S WHY SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, IN WHATEVER GENRE, OR WHATEVER.

FASHION, MUSIC, CULTURE, I MEAN, ACROSS THE BOARD ARE INFLUENCED BY ATLANTA, YOU KNOW.

AND SO, WHEN I THINK ABOUT ATLANTA.

I THINK ABOUT THIS DEEPLY ROOTED SENSE OF SELF, AND THAT'S THE SOUTH.

ALL OF THAT IS THE SOUTH.

AND, THE SOUTH HAS THIS VERY DISTINCT URGENCY AND ORIGINALITY AND FREEDOM AND THOUGHT AND THEORY IN WHATEVER REALM.

WHETHER IT BE TRAP, WHETHER IT BE SOUL, WHETHER IT BE ALTERNATIVE.

THERE'S JUST THIS DISTINCTION THAT IS VERY LIKE VISCERAL AND IS COMING FROM A PLACE THAT FEELS DIVINE.

LIKE, IT FEELS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.

I FEEL ENCOURAGEMENT FROM MY ANCESTORS BEING OUT HERE.

I FEEL THE DISSONANCE.

AND YA' KNOW WHEN YOU IN ATLANTA IT'S THE CELEBRATION IT'S THIS BLACK MECCA.

IT'S SO MUCH GOING ON.

BUT THEN YOU STEP OUTSIDE OF IT AND YOU SEE AHMAUD AUBREY.

AND YOU SEE LIKE THE, THE CONTENTION, THE RACISM.

THIS LIKE UNSETTLING FEELING KNOWING THE HISTORY OF ALL OF IT.

IT'S JUST LIKE, IT GIVES A FIRE LIKE AS FAR AS ME BEING A CREATOR.

TO EVEN HAVE MORE OF AN AUDACITY TO CREATE.

AND THEN I SEE PEOPLE LIKE ANDRE 3000, AND BIG BOI, OUTKAST, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

YOUNG THUG, YSL, UM, MY FRIENDS, CHELSEA SHAG, LIKE.

I'M ALWAYS JUST GRATEFUL... TO BE, YA' KNOW.

FOR MY MUSIC TO BE USED IN THOSE WAYS.
