Rosanne Baker Thornley (CA)
Rosanne Baker Thornley (RBT) is an internationally recognized, award-winning singer-songwriter. Based out of Toronto, Canada, Rosanne writes with an impressive and growing number of international emerging and established artists.
A prolific writer and born storyteller, Rosanne loves to step in behind the eyes of artists to write their heartfelt songs. Working with a diverse range of artists such as Justin Nozuka, Tyler Shaw, Ryland James, Julian Taylor, Andrew Allen, Ken Yates, Marshall Dane, Charlie Edward, Havelin, Robb Torres (Robbery Inc.), and Colin MacDonald (Trews), she smiles, "I create. I write songs for me and I write songs with and for other artists. I've received quite a few songwriting accolades along the way, which adds a nice bit of shine and visibility. I have the opportunity to work with awesomely talented people every day. People who inspire and motivate me to want more. Music is not an easy business to navigate, but it's certainly made for an interesting journey. I love what I do, and I've been doing this for a long time. And so it continues."
Rosanne writes with, produces, mentors, coaches and promotes artists with her That First Song team; she is Toronto curator for the global songwriting initiative The Acoustic Guitar Project; founder of The Collabor8tors, a group of eight prominent Canadian songwriters who shared their songs and the co-writing experience behind them; she is represented by Steam Music Group for publishing and sync placements and also writes songs for artist placement. September 2022 she released her Factor-supported sophomore album "Sorry I'm Late" to international acclaim.
There is always more to come from RBT.
