Singer Elena Rose Has 'Full Circle Moment' Performing In Smirnoff ICE Tour

Latin Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Elena Rose recently had an exciting "full circle moment" with Smirnoff ICE. As she performed during the Smirnoff ICE Relaunch Tour, the singer remembered the time she was caught drinking her first alcoholic drink.

She took some time from her busy scheduled to chat with The Blast about her music career and her part in the Smirnoff ICE Relaunch Tour.

Andrea Elena Mangiamarchi, better known as Elena Rose, performed during the Smirnoff ICE Relaunch Tour in Los Angeles last week.

"We performed live with my band in front of a Los Angeles audience for the first time and we had a lot of fun, it was beautiful," she told the Blast exclusively.

"We got to sing songs that are out, some that are not, and on top of that, I got to hang out with Steve [Aoki] who's a friend and someone I care about so it was a great night altogether."

The singer also said she felt the vibe at the show "was amazing," and that this show was sort of a "full circle moment" for her.

"I really loved it. We had a lot of fun and the vibe was amazing. I felt so loved and supported and welcomed. I'm hoping we can partner up again soon in any way possible," she said.

"Fun fact: Smirnoff was the first alcoholic drink I ever had and I remember getting grounded because I posted a photo on Facebook about it so this is sort of like a full circle moment for me. To be collaborating and creating more memories with the brand while making people happy with my music is a beautiful thing for me."

Elena got her start in the music industry after a producer saw her singing at a bar. Shortly after, he asked her to record demos for the songs he wrote for women to pitch to the labels.

"That was the first time I stepped into a studio," she told The Blast. "I was around 23-years-old and I remember loving the creative process of writing a song so much that I just wanted to be there all the time."

At that time, she had her own artist project in the works but still needed some time to develop so she decided to keep writing for other people until "Elena Rose was ready to be showcased."

According to her YouTube bio, "Her lyrical prowess is echoed in hits by performers like Becky G, Rauw Alejandro, Selena Gomez, Daddy Yankee, Christina Aguilera, and Jennifer Lopez."

While working as a successful songwriter, she decided to be the voice of her own lyrics in 2020 when she launched her solo singing career. It didn't take long before Elena was named "Artist on the Rise" by Billboard.

Since releasing her debut single, things have changed for Elena.

"My debut single helped me reach more people while allowing me to continue to discover myself and find my own voice and who I want to be in the industry," she told The Blast. "I feel very blessed to be able to connect with more people through my music."

Her first album is something she's really excited about. She said, "There's a lot of new music with amazing collaborations with artists I've worked with prior for their own projects and they're supporting me now in this new chapter in my life."

Elena's musical journey has brought her to meeting many new people and to work with artists and songwriters she admires. She's enjoyed every step of the way.

"Also, going to different sessions, traveling around, getting to appreciate different cultures and just seeing how the world becomes such a beautiful place when music is in it," she said. "It's a universal language, we can all understand each other through music and it's a blessing that music is such a big part of my everyday life."

The Smirnoff Ice Relaunch Tour will continue this summer with shows in Charlotte, Indianapolis, Lake of the Ozarks, and Atlanta. Ticket proceeds directly benefits Women In Music, a nonprofit benefitting women in the musical arts space all summer long.
