Melly Rose happy to be back home

International vocalist Melly Rose is opening up about her life-changing decision to leave the US and move back to Trinidad and Tobago. For Rose, the move was more than a change of scenery, it was a return to peace, purpose and natural beauty.

“People always ask me, why would you leave America to come back here? And my answer is simple: in TT, you get to live more,” says Rose. “Living in America felt like being stuck in a constant rat race. Here, I have peace. I can pick up any day and go to the river or the beach. TT is so naturally beautiful, and that beauty grounds me.”

Rose, who was born at Mt Hope Hospital before growing up in the United States, shared that her return to TT has been the best decision she has ever made. She encourages others in the diaspora to consider moving back home, said a media release.
