Intro

ROZES, the professional moniker of Elizabeth Mencel, emerged as a significant voice in the mid-2010s electropop explosion. Born into a jazz-centric household in Pennsylvania, her formal training as a multi-instrumentalist (piano, saxophone, guitar, and more) informs a sophisticated approach to pop structure.

Her career trajectory was permanently altered by her 2015 collaboration with The Chainsmokers on 'Roses,' a track that defined the 'future bass' pop crossover era. However, her solo work, beginning with the 'Fragile' EP, established a distinct identity characterized by 'emotional dance music.' Critically, she is noted for her ability to maintain a 'bedroom pop' intimacy despite high-gloss production values. Her evolution through projects like 'Famous' and 'Halfway There' shows a move toward more explicit themes of mental health and self-worth, aligning her with contemporaries like VÉRITÉ and Phoebe Ryan. She occupies a cultural space as a reliable hitmaker who refuses to sacrifice lyrical depth for chart viability, maintaining a loyal following within both the EDM and indie-pop spheres.
