Justin Rose is an American country singer from Milford, Michigan. At 20, he started a rock band called Frequency 54, which toured the USA and had several songs break into the top 100 on the Billboard Rock charts.

While touring, Rose felt a growing connection to his farm roots and the country lifestyle he was raised in. He decided to leave the band and start a solo career in country music. For nearly 30 years, he has been writing and performing country music, averaging about 130 shows a year across the country.
