Do not love the world or anything in the world.”

1 John 2:15

Zen Desire is a singer-songwriter & musician based in Memphis, TN. Her musical style is rooted in jazz with the spirit of hip hop, the smoothness of R&B & the sensibility of pop.

On her journey to becoming a professional music artist, she has blossomed into various roles including clerk & brand ambassador for Shangri-La Records, vinyl-only DJ at Central Station Hotel, assistant to Tommy Wright III, & receptionist at Ardent Recording Studios.

When she’s not writing songs or working on various projects, she’s chilling with her cat, Venus, reading Vogue and drinking hot tea.

Rose of Memphis is a line of poetry that turned into an instagram page (@roseofmemphis), and grew into the website you are presently experiencing. It is a canvas, an archive, & an emerging brand.

The intention here is to keep it authentic, be creative, and grow. We thank you for stopping by.
