Biography
Rose Falcon is the daughter of singer-songwriter Billy Falcon and hairdresser Myla Falcon. Her early years were spent in a studio apartment in New York City, although the family moved to New Jersey when she was old enough to attend school. In 1987, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and died two years later (inspiring the song "Best Friend"), forcing her father to raise her himself as he traveled around the country for his music career. Falcon was ten years old when they moved to Nashville. Inspired by the loss of her mother and feeling out of place throughout her school years, she began writing poetry which eventually led to songwriting.
Falcon signed to Columbia Records at the age of fourteen and released her debut album, Rose Falcon, in 2003. In August 2011, she signed with Show Dog-Universal Music and began working on her first country pop album,{{cite web|title=Signings: Bobby Terry, Rose Falcon|url=http://www.musicrow.com/2011/08/signings-bobby-terry-rose-falcon/|website=Musicrow.com|date=August 29, 2011 }} which was later released in the form of two EP's entitled, "19th Avenue Volume 1" and "19th Avenue Volume 2 {{cite web|title= 19th Avenue EP|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/19th-avenue-ep-mw0002363987/releases|website=AllMusic|date=January 29, 2013 }} and received an endorsement from Jon Bon Jovi.{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi Backs Rose Falcon|url=http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/2012/05/rose-falcon-bon-jovi/1|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140424202919/http://www.keepinitcountryblog.com/2012/05/rose-falcon-bon-jovi/1/|archivedate=April 24, 2014}}
