So, who is Firerose?

Firerose is a singer-songwriter; according to her official website, she was born and raised in Sydney, Australia to "a family of symphony musicians." Like most aspiring artists these days, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her music career.

She noted on her website that she's had a "lifelong passion for songwriting," adding, "I always believed that my purpose on earth was fulfilled by music. ... Helping people up with a song I wrote gives everything so much meaning. I write from a place in my soul that's unexplainable, and I'm incredibly grateful for this gift that allows me to touch people so profoundly."

Since she was a child, Firerose has been inspired by various artists; however, her biggest inspirations are Sia and Alanis Morisette, as well as Australian rock bands like Powderfinger, INXS, and Silverchair.

"I felt something cutting edge from the music of those artists that I listened to growing up that spoke to me deeply and cut through the noise of all the classical music I was surrounded with,” Firerose wrote on her website.

As of this writing, Firerose has five songs available to stream:

  • "Fragile Handling"
  • "Way Out"
  • "No Holding Fire"
  • "New Day" (with Billy Ray Cyrus)
  • "All Figured Out"

Regarding her chart-topping track with her collaborator-turned-lover, the Australian singer stated on her website that "New Day" came to her "a few years ago when I was going through some brutal personal stuff."

"I can honestly say that writing songs was the only thing that kept me breathing. As things got harder, I listened to it over and over and it gave me hope at the end of the tunnel," Firerose added. "Once I got through that period, I put it aside ... Then when the pandemic hit, I thought, if there was ever a time when a song of hope and rebirth was needed, this is it. Here we are with this promise of a new day we had all been praying for."

"I loved doing that show," he said. "There's a couple of old pine trees on the lot that look like Tennessee. Tex and I would go out there in the middle of the day and he'd take care of his business and we'd stretch and I'd think how much I missed Tennessee. On that given day, Firerose came out of the front door. There was almost a moment of, I don't know, recognition. I was like, 'This girl's a star.'"

It was 2010 on the Tribune Studios lot in Hollywood. Firerose, then 22 years old, went over to say hello to Billy Ray and his pup.

"She told me she'd had an audition and I said, 'Well, I'm sure you got the job,'" he told the outlet. Following their serendipitous meeting, Billy Ray explained the two remained friends, and eventually became songwriting partners, before becoming romantically involved.
