Ro is the moniker of Rowena Ethelwyn Wise. She grew up in Margaret River, Western Australia. Her father is a luthier who built her custom electric guitar. Her mother is a musician from Chicago, USA. Music surrounded Ro’s entire childhood. She travelled and performed from a young age in a family band, then moved to Melbourne to play her own music. While writing her first songs for Ro, she worked in a denim alteration store and graduated from Melbourne University with a Bachelor of Arts, double majoring in Literature and Creative Writing. She now studies sound production, combining her love of words with a technical approach to creativity.
Ro brings palatable and powerful wordplay to the world. As a performer she is an uncaged charismatic introvert. She delivers anthemic self-empowered love songs with clever melancholic witticisms. Her sound is characterised by “poetic lyricism, bursting with melancholic charm and a myriad of other emotions, amongst a background of hazy garage-pop” - Good Intent. It is important to Ro to inspire her listeners to be confident and self-assured. She wakes up each morning and knows exactly what she wants. She invites her people to observe truths of the human condition, through the relatability of punchy indie pop.
Ro launched onto the scene in 2018 with the release of ‘Diary’ and of ‘F**ked Up Over You’, which had full Triple J rotation. She has supported G Flip, Didirri, Harts, Kira Puru, Ceres, Little May, Paul Dempsey, Slum Sociable and Woodes. She has played festivals including Grampians Music Festival and BIGSOUND. In 2019 she completed her first headline East Coast Tour and sold out her Melbourne show. Earlier in the year she also released a collaboration single with fellow Australian artist Didirri, ‘Tea Stains’. Ro is currently writing and recording her debut EP.

Ro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Move it like a rock like its nobodies business
Setting up shop like its nobodies business
And I work like that
Taken by the waves and I surf right back
Why they call 'em joints, cause Im bent like that
Open up a window, let it vent like that
When Im putting out a vibe and it get sent right back
Pulling out the stops like its nobodies business
Move it like a rock like its nobodies business
Setting up shop like its nobodies business
And I work like that
Taken by the waves and I surf right back
Why they call 'em joints, cause Im bent like that
Open up a window, let it vent like that
When Im putting out a vibe and it get sent right back
Dont even bother me with twisted up psychology
Im through and past apologies
Im sorry if this bothers you
I gotta let it out
Im tryna zero in and get my circle thinner now
And get myself a bigger crowd
And I showed up like a soldier
With a chip up on my shoulder
And I sorta, gotta let it out
Momma never told me there'd be days like this
But she also had it figured out
I figure science and philosophy's
Like tryna see what god can see
And that's nobodies business
Do you follow me
Pulling out the stops like its nobodies business
Move it like a rock like its nobodies business
Setting up shop like its nobodies business
And I work like that
Taken by the waves and I surf right back
Why they call 'em joints, cause Im bent like that
Open up a window, let it vent like that
When Im putting out a vibe and it get sent right back
Pulling out the stops like its nobodies business
Move it like a rock like its nobodies business
Setting up shop like its nobodies business
And I work like that
Taken by the waves and I surf right back
Why they call 'em joints, cause Im bent like that
Open up a window, let it vent like that
When Im putting out a vibe and it get sent right back
No introduction will be needed cause there's no discussion
No interruptions will be had, cause there'll be repercussions
I lit it up and then passed, the torch is no one's own
Nobodies business, nobodies thrown or nobodies home
The game is played out in different ways, so I turn the page
I started out with a message and so I found away
I was tired of excuses
Tired of feeling used and useless
So I hopped up in the booth and started using it
A hundred proof all on the page
now the whole entire room is lit just so I can flex a bit
Pulling out the stops like its nobodies business
Move it like a rock like its nobodies business
Setting up shop like its nobodies business
And I work like that
Taken by the waves and I surf right back
Why they call 'em joints, cause Im bent like that
Open up a window, let it vent like that
When Im putting out a vibe and it get sent right back
Pulling out the stops like its nobodies business
Move it like a rock like its nobodies business
Setting up shop like its nobodies business
And I work like that
Taken by the waves and I surf right back
Why they call 'em joints, cause Im bent like that
Open up a window, let it vent like that
When Im putting out a vibe and it get sent right back
The lyrics of "Nobody" by Ro are expressive of the singer's intent to do things her way and disregard what others may think. The song emphasizes her rebellious nature and persistence as she pulls out all the stops like it’s nobody’s business. Ro is unapologetically herself and she's not interested in pleasing anyone.
The first verse of the lyrics talks about Ro's ability to take on any challenge that comes her way. She is like a rock, immovable and steady, and she sets up shop to work. When she puts out a vibe, she gets it back. The second verse portrays Ro as someone who doesn't care about anyone's opinions. She is focused on narrowing down her social circle and expanding her fan base. She is driven to let out her feelings and emotions, and she shows up as a soldier, ready to fight for what she believes in.
Ro is using her music to express her views without censorship. The song's catchy rhythm and powerful lyrics showcase her talent as an artist who creates music for people to dance to and relate to. She is a symbol of positivity, strength, and determination - someone who inspires others to be fearless in their lives.

So I hopped up in the booth and started using it
Turning to music as a way to express oneself and find fulfillment
A hundred proof all on the page
Being authentic and truthful in one's music and art
now the whole entire room is lit just so I can flex a bit
Inspiring and impressing others with one's talent and hard work
