Little Warrior by Shea Rose

“Little Warrior” was a tag used by Yael DrumAddict, a musician I met on Craigslist when searching for a female drummer. Through our brief email exchanges, we shared our love for rock music. Yael dropped pearls of wisdom about the music industry too. At the end of one of her emails, she signed off, “be strong, little warrior.” The moniker sparked the courage to embrace my fiery, fearless punk; my warrior was born!

The moniker resonated with me, inspiring song lyrics, concepts for music videos, album artwork, and artist persona, including wardrobe, hair, and makeup. My warrior emerged fierce, unapologetic, and outspoken energy. I was ready to be heard!

The “Little Warrior” mixtape ushered in a tremendous season of growth, both powerful and painful, as I gained critical success in Boston. At times I struggled to navigate career anxieties and the music industry’s ups and downs. Over time, my angsty warrior began to burn too hot. It became a matter of health that I learned to slow down, listen, and balance my fiery element. Through yoga and prayer, I have transformed into a wiser, grounded, and more evolved goddess.

I still deeply resonate with this project’s music, message, and attitude. It captures the raw and unfiltered hustle of trying to grow seeds in the wild music industry!
