Kia ora friends and enemies! I'm Rose, I'm from New Zealand, and I have been songwriting for... decades. When I first started FAWMing back in the day, I posted as Rose Deschamps, but these days I am more widely known by my musical comedy persona Troubadette, who is having a lovely time running around New Zealand singing silly songs and (kind of) making a living doing it!

I am 1000% sure I would not have the comedy career I do today without the songwriting skills I've gained from being part of the FAWM community. Whether you've been watching me do weird stuff from day dot or you're just recently on board, thank you - I'm stupidly, ridiculously grateful <3

Bisexual and tired, ADHD and wired. She/they. FAWMin' since 2007!

I love this place with all my heart. Thanks for changing my life, FAWM.
