Anjali Rose is a multidisciplinary composer, vocalist, and performance artist whose work lives at the intersection of honesty, experimentation, and spiritual inquiry. Drawing from a lineage of Indian classical music, folk traditions, pop music, jazz, and ambient electronics, her performances blur the lines between concert, ritual, and installation.
Anjali’s most characteristic instrument, her voice, weaves acoustic intimacy with avant-garde exploration. She has performed at Basilica Hudson’s 24-Hour Drone Festival alongside Dragonchild (formerly of the Debo Band), and her compositions have appeared in award-winning independent films. One of her scores accompanied a project selected for the Netflix x LALIFF Indigenous Latino Fellowship and was later qualified for Academy Award consideration. More recently Anjali has sung on productions for The Black Key’s drummer Chris St. Hiliare and The Kronos Quartet.
Performing under both her name and the moniker Butterfly Alchemy, she integrates movement, voice, and video into site-responsive works. Her interdisciplinary practice spans theater, contemporary dance, and visual art — often inhabiting liminal, emotionally charged spaces of cultural hybridity and personal transformation.
Based in New York and working internationally, Anjali Rose brings a haunting, healing presence to sacred spaces, underground venues, and art institutions alike — dissolving genre boundaries and inviting audiences into an altered state of listening.
Anjali Rose is a bandleader, film score composer, producer, vocalist / multi instrumentalist based out of New York City. When not doing music Anjali is making films and freelancing her videography and photography skills through "Ananda Luna Productions".
Anjali's latest album "The Worlds That Disappear" came out Nov 18th 2022 with the help of the LA Based independent music label Soulful X Nature. This album was initially recorded in a church turned studio in August of 2019 and has since been over dubbed and sliced together to its completion. Anjali describes this piece as a homage to grief and home.
In the spring of 2022 Anjali contributed music to her second film score for the short film "Gabriela" which was sponsored by Netflix and the LA Latino Film Festival, the film has since been showcased in various festivals including the Cannes International Film Festival.
Anjali's debut album"Shadow Works" was independently written, recorded, produced, mastered, and released via cassette in 2021. Shadow Works centers the wistful grace of acoustic guitar and Anjali's chilling voice to craft honest songs of self exploration, longing, and growth.

Anjali has toured in over 15 different countries and states around mainland Europe, The USA, and parts of Canada.
