It was very difficult on Ms. Rose as she ended up living in Trench Town (Jungle) in the early 1990's. As a child Kamarla attended various schools and never graduated or even achieved a high school diploma. As a result of poverty she had to leave high school after grade nine. However, during those years that were spent in school she participated in various school talent shows and soon realized music was her calling. The encouragement she received from her peers was enough motivation for her to pursue her dream. Many artists spanning different genres inspired Queen Kamarla. From the greatest pop artist, Michael Jackson, to the greatest reggae artist, Bob Marley, however, the respect and adoration she has for Garnet Silk, makes her esteem him above others and as such, she holds him as her musical mentor. Kamarla got pregnant at age 15 with her first child Octavia and this lead her to take a break from the music fraternity to build her craft and to put record label together. She had to work hard to gain finance while building her style and distinctive sound in reggae music. Queen Kamarla has done recordings for the great Sugar Minott as well as Horace Andy.
