Immersed in the West Coast music scene for nearly two decades, Alicia J. Rose has played a key role in branding such successful Northwest bands as the Decemberists and Menomena through her uniquely-stylized photography and narrative-based music videos.
Rose studied at San Francisco State, steeped in video production and photojournalism. At the same time, she embarked on a career in the music industry that ultimately led her into almost every aspect of artist development—from A&R and management to marketing and promotion.
In time, she began photographing the bands, out of which emerged a style of personality-driven conceptual portraiture that has been featured on album covers and in such prominent publications as Rolling Stone, Spin, PDN, V, Elle and Vanity Fair Italia.

Since crossing over into moving images, Rose has emerged as a director of music videos driven by riveting narrative structures and a compelling visual aesthetic. MTV Hive reports on her recent Talkdemonic video, “As a director, Rose has summoned up spooky scenarios for the likes of Loch Lomond, Mastodon and Viva Voce, but her gleefully goofy clips for Menomena and Golden Bloom offer empirical evidence of her sense of humor, which surely also underlies more ostensibly “serious” clips like this one.”

In 2012 she has released music videos for alt-rock legends Cake ("Mustache Man") which met with a successful MTV2 premiere, and Portland rising star Laura Gibson ("La Grande"). NPR premiered the Gibson video via First Watch, with a rave review, "Director Alicia J. Rose cuts a strong slice of classic American Gothic to tell the dark tale of a woman (played by Gibson) who's either going mad or seeing ghosts. It feels strongly like the Coen brothers' version of True Grit — elegant, well-structured, and replete in Western imagery. Like the song itself, Gibson stands as the warmth in the video's cold world — her red dress brightening up the blacks and greys around her. It's a treat for the eyes even as the images send a slight chill climb up your spine." - Dan Raby, NPR

She is currently finishing up 2 mini-doc music videos for Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer, and developing new narrative based music videos for select artists. Portland creative collective Mmmmm Society recently added Rose to their roster of commercial directors.

She lives the freelance life in city of roses - Portland, Oregon and is allergic to caffeine. True irony.
