Rosa Linn's tender adult pop comes with a warm, far-reaching voice and yearning character to her songs. After emerging from Armenia with her Stateside label debut, "KING," in 2021, she soon had an international hit with the campfire-folk-styled breakup song "SNAP," her entry in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest. "SNAP" could be found a year later on her Columbia-label debut, the Lay Your Hands Upon My Heart EP.

A native of Vanadzor, Armenia, Roza Kostandyan began playing piano at age six and writing songs as a preteen. At 13, she competed in Armenia's Junior Eurovision selection show with her song "Gitem." She reached another milestone in 2020, when she joined the U.S.-based Nvak Collective. Their label released her official debut single, "KING," the following year. In March 2022, Rosa Linn was selected to represent Armenia in that year's Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, Italy. She performed "SNAP" in the semifinals and finals in May, ultimately finishing in 20th place. "SNAP" was released as a single by Nvak/Columbia and, with help from its popularity on social media, charted around the world, including in Belgium, where it hit number one, and the U.S., where it rose to number 67 on the Hot 100. Before the end of the 2022, she'd signed with Columbia Records, released "WDIA (Would Do It Again)," a duet with Duncan Laurence, and made her U.S. television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

"SNAP" was included on Rosa's major-label debut EP, Lay Your Hands Upon My Heart, in June 2023. Recorded with Grammy-winning producer/songwriter Rick Nowels (Madonna, Lana Del Rey), the EP also featured a cover of Stevie Nicks' "If I Were You," a song Nicks wrote with Nowels. That same month, Linn joined Ed Sheeran as opener of the North American portion of his +–=÷x Tour. She also went on the road with Young the Giant and Milky Chance. ~ Marcy Donelson
