Podcast Overview: In this conversation, Will Clarke sits down with Eliza Rose as she talks through the 10 year journey that led to B.O.T.A, from working in a record shop at 15 to hearing the track everywhere at Glastonbury and watching it snowball. She explains why blowing up earlier would have been too much for her, what it felt like going Number One with no money in her account, and how touring became relentless after B.O.T.A. Eliza opens up about burnout, losing her sound, chasing what she thought people expected, and stepping back to figure out what actually feels right.

Who is Eliza Rose: Eliza Rose embodies the magic of UK underground club culture. The vocalist, producer, and DJ broke through globally with ‘B.O.T.A (Baddest Of Them All)’, reaching Number One and becoming the first female DJ to top the official charts in 20 years, after years spent building her reputation across London’s clubs, festivals, and record shops. Now with MOBO and Brit nominations, magazine covers, and a world tour, she moves seamlessly between the underground and global stage, collaborating with artists including Calvin Harris, Confidence Man, Carl Cox, The Trip, and Oppidan. Her DJ sets have reached major stages such as Glastonbury, Sonar, Love International, and Boiler Room, with upcoming appearances at Manchester’s Warehouse Project and Homobloc, while she continues to grow her label Rosebud Records and champion her crate-digging roots, bringing her UKG sound to audiences worldwide.
