About

The long version

Riki Rose is a dynamic Yiddish singer, songwriter, musician, comedian, and entertainer with a growing social media following and a voice that stops people in their tracks. Born and raised in the Hasidic Satmar community of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, she grew up in a world where creative self-expression—especially for women—was deeply limited. Determined to share her talent, she left that world behind and began forging a path entirely her own.

With a voice that’s been described as powerful, soulful, and spine-tingling, Riki’s performances blend emotional depth with sharp humor, leaving audiences both moved and laughing out loud. She has performed throughout New York and Florida—including a featured appearance on SummerStage, New York City’s iconic outdoor concert series—and has released original Yiddish music that has reached listeners around the globe.

Her breakout single “Utem Arein Utem Arois” (“Breathe In, Breathe Out”) has become a fan favorite, resonating with audiences from all walks of Jewish life—Hasidic, secular, Yiddishist, Israeli—and even non-Jewish fans who connect with her universal message and vibrant style.

Whether through music, comedy, or storytelling, Riki Rose brings a fresh, fearless voice to the world of Yiddish entertainment. She is currently working on her debut album and planning a worldwide tour, continuing her mission to uplift, entertain, and inspire—one breath, and one beat at a time.
