Katy Rose (born January 27th, 1987, real name Kathryn Rosemary Bullard) is an American singer, songwriter, producer, musician and actress. Her music styles vary from indie rock, electro pop, grunge, pop, lounge music and even techno.

Starting at just sixteen, Katy Rose began work on her debut album, Because I Can for V2 Records. On January 27th, 2004, Because I Can was released along with her first single Overdrive. Her album was released to mixed critical reception, and had only two singles from the album, Overdrive and I Like. Rose also appeared on two successful movie soundtracks, Mean Girls and Thirteen.

After parting from V2 Records in 2005 her second album, Candy Eyed was released more than three years after her debut album, and on an independent record label River Jones Music. In late 2007, Katy parted ways with River Jones Music and is now searching for a record label to distribute her third album Tangled But True which is expected to be released sometime in 2008. Rose let fans know on her myspace that if she doesn't find a label soon, she will release the album online, like she did with Candy Eyed.
