Her father, Alastair Dougall, is an singer-songwriter active on the Brighton acoustic scene1. She is the granddaughter of former BBC news broadcaster Robert Dougall 2, and attended Camberwell College of Arts as late as mid-2006, and as a student appeared uncredited on the BBC Two show James May's Top Toys in December 2005, drawing the presenter on an Etch A Sketch. 3 Her younger brother Thomas is guitarist with Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, and she is known to have dated Joe Lean of the same band.4
Rose joined The Pipettes in 2003 after being introduced to the initial line-up by Monster Bobby at The Basketmakers pub in Brighton. With The Pipettes, Rose took lead vocals on the singles "Judy" and "Dirty Mind". During her time with The Pipettes, she also provided guest vocals for The Young Playthings, Brakes and Dr Colossus. On April 18, 2008 it was announced in a blog post on the band's Myspace that Rose and bandmate RiotBecki had amicably left the band "to pursue other musical projects".
Rose created a MySpace profile for her solo work on May 14 2008 under the name of Rose Elinor Dougall5. As of May 21 2008, she had posted one song on there, titled Start/Stop/Synchro. On June 6, three more songs were posted - Another Version Of Pop Song, Hanging Around and May Holiday, with a further three posted almost a month later; To The Sea, Come Away With Me and I Know We'll Never.
Her first live performance was at Sing Ye From The Hillsides! at the Tan Hill Inn, Yorkshire, a festival curated by British Sea Power6, where she played a thirty-minute set accompanied only by a keyboard7.
Rose's first single will be a limited (to 500 copies8) edition 7" of Another Version Of Pop Song, backed with a remix by Chris Rotter and released through Scarlett Records on December 8 20089.
