From the moment Summer Rose was born, she had music running through her veins.  Her Mom recalls Summer humming while just an infant in her arms.  For as long as Summer can remember, she has been drawn to music just as music has been drawn to her.

Growing up in Sacramento, Summer performed in local musicals starting at the age of seven and sang the National Anthem for the Sacramento Kings and the San Francisco Giants.  Summer missed a chance to audition for the musical “Annie” (her first musical influence, no kidding) and was so angry she didn’t come out of her room for a week.  This rebelliousness would be seen in Summer for years to come.

When Summer was 15 years old she took a job at a clothing store in the mall.  The store’s manager was so impressed with her singing that she recommended Summer audition to be the lead singer in her boyfriend’s band.  Summer auditioned in Tahoe by singing a blues song that she made up as she went along.  She was hired on the spot and then spent the next two years on the road in Nevada.  “Performing live six nights a week, four shows a night, really conditioned me for life on the road.  Everyone else was at home in high school worrying about homework, I was already a professional musician.”

Summer really wanted to start playing original music.  She began writing in San Francisco and ended up moving to Los Angeles.  Her band at the time, Snapdraggon, landed a record deal with an Atlantic subsidiary.  Summer worked with music producer Wes Arkeen (Guns N Roses) and the band toured some before the label ran out of money.  “The record business is one of the toughest in the world.  Even if you are talented and you work your ass off, things still have a way of not working out.  I sure learned that lesson the hard way.  But it just pushed me to work even harder.”

With that experience behind her, Summer decided to go for broke.  She maxed out her credit card, bought some equipment for a home studio and started recording some hardcore melodies and mixing in some rapping.  A new style was born. 

Summer caught the attention of music industry veteran David J. Holman when she came to his studio for help on her first song.  Holman has worked with the likes of No Doubt, Bush and Olivia Newton John.  David had no interest in working with another female artist at that point but was blown away by her talent and her raw appeal.  “I have worked with some of the biggest and brightest stars in the business throughout my career, but there is only one Summer Rose,” says Holman.

To write and record the album “Big Mouth”, Summer drew on her strongest musical influences, including Janis Joplin, Chaka Kahn, and Gladys Knight along with some more contemporary stuff from bands like Rage Against the Machine and Eminem..  “Basically, I like anything that kicks ass and is real.”  The resulting album is flush with hard rocking tracks with a few crazy party songs.

The album is very personal to Summer.  It was written to provide an uninhibited look inside of her.   “Music to me is something very real, it’s not just singing a song.”  Summer hopes her fans can draw from the experiences she sings about and use them in their own lives.

Summer, along with Ruckus Entertainment and working closely with seasoned music industry professional John Fagot, plans to use the Internet to spread her music in the beginning.  She wants to reach her fans across the globe and give them as much personal contact as possible.  “My fans are everything to me.   I want to give them every ounce of energy I have
