Hello everyone!

In this past month I  entered my song “Broken”  into a songwriting contest hosted by “KAOS Music Centre” !! By some luck my song made it into the Top 5 in my age group! But that wasn’t the end of the competition, and last wednesday on the 23rd I, along with the other 4 members in my age group, performed our songs for the panel of judges! It was an amazing experience and something that I thoroughly enjoyed! The support from all the families who came out to listen and the talent that was there that night was fantastic! At the end of all the performances the judges announced the winners, and I am sooo pleased to say that I came in second!! In the end it must have been so hard for the judges to pick a winner because of how incredible the performances and songs were that night, so I definitely encourage you to go see the submissions at KAOS Music’s facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/kaosmusiccentre?sk=app_95936962634

Thank you so much to the other contestants, the judges, the owners of KAOS music, my dad, all my friends and family who came out to support and to Calvin and Olivia for the beautiful flowers! You are all amazing people and I feel so grateful to have you in my life <3

Love you all, Rowan

This is a song I wrote for my cousin John Bottomley, and it’s called “Honestly”. John passed away last April, yet to this day we still feel the pain of his passing. John was an incredible musician and poet. His music inspired so many people, including me. We’ll never forget you John, we love you.

Here is the video of me performing on “Breakfast Television”!!

Thank you for watching!

It was has been 3 months since I was on Breakfast Television and I still cannot believe it happened.. I’ve seen the proof that it happened, but still, how crazy was that?!

On Wednesday, July 13th I was woken up at 7:00 by my dad who was freaking out, and dragging me downstairs.. I had no idea what was going on and I was pretttty mad that I was being woken up so early. When I got down there, my mom and little sister were in front of the TV watching “Breakfast Television” and I had no idea what was going . All the sudden Kevin started talking about how a “father had sent in a video of his daughter singing the song she wrote for Taylor Swift” .. and they started to play my video! I was in shock! Turns out my dad sent the video in and had been emailing the producers of BT and Kevin and they got me on the show! A little bit later, I got a call from the producer of Breakfast Television asking me if I’d like to sing on the show! Then they called me back and I talked to Kevin and Dina on the air! It must have been one of the best mornings ever. I just couldn’t believe it!

The morning of the show was a disaster… We were supposed to be at the studio at quarter to six and we were going to leave at 5:15 to pick a friend up so we would all be early… Instead of waking up at 4:00 like we were supposed to though, I got a call at 5:15 from my friend, who was wondering where we all were, and that call woke us all up….. I think all of our hearts skipped a beat when we realized how late we were.

Somehow we managed to get there on time, and even though maybe my hair wasn’t quite done when it was time to go on, and maybe I messed up my own song, but I had an amazing time, and I’d like to thank every single person at Breakfast Television, all my family and friends that came to support me, everyone at home who woke up early to watch and especially my Dad. I had an amazing experience and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it!
