Rowan Desautels is an up and coming singer-songwriter from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Rowan discovered her love for music at the age of 11 when her mother rekindled her high school romance with Rowan’s now step-father, John Brittingham. Rowan and John performed a song together at Rowan’s great-grandfather’s funeral, and the two have been playing music together as Beautifully Human ever since. Rather than spending her time behind a screen during quarantine, Rowan took it upon herself to learn piano, and she recently acquired her very own baby grand, which now occupies the entire living room of her family home. Rowan started high school at Dartmouth High School this year, and starred as Sophie in the DHTC production of Mama Mia this past May. Rowan aspires to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston one day and currently gigs around the New Bedford area to earn money to apply towards tuition. She often says, “piano is my soul”, and she hopes to release her first album of original songs later this year. When not singing or playing piano (which is almost always), you can find Rowan drawing sketches, with her nose in a book, writing short stories, or playing Dungeons & Dragons.
