Career

Cunningham was born in Southend-on-Sea, and started her first commercial band Ipso Facto in 2007, releasing the singles "Harmonise" / "Balderdash" (Disc Error) in October 2007,[1] "Ears And Eyes" (PureGroove)[2] in August 2008,[3] "Six And Three Quarters" / "Circle Of Fifths" Mute Records[4] in October 2008.[5] These were followed by IF... a Vinyl Junkie release in February 2009. All their songs were written by Cunningham.

Ipso Facto broke up midway through 2009.[6] Since that time and up until early 2017, Cunningham has been touring, composing and recording material with Purson. In April 2017 the band broke up. "I feel strongly drawn to a more DIY approach to my career in music, and look forward to the freedom to explore many avenues as a solo artist," Cunningham explained.[7] Her debut solo album Rosalie Cunningham was released on 5 June 2019 by Esoteric Records, via Cherry Red.[8]

Cunningham has also been working with other bands such as Magazine[9] and The Last Shadow Puppets[10] (though referred to as Rosie Cunningham) as a backing vocalist, appearing on stage with them on their recent tours, at the BBC Electric Proms and on Later... with Jools Holland.[11] She also played keyboards from January to May 2010 with These New Puritans on their tours of the album, Hidden.

In 2012, Cunningham played guitar with Willy Moon, as the support act for Jack White's UK tour. She also contributed backing vocals to Cathedral's final album, The Last Spire, which was released in 2013.
