Frank Sinatra’s "New York, New York" 45 was the first record Arrica Rose stole from her parents at the age of 4. Later she found out her great uncle Lou Monte best known for his Italian-themed novelty records was one of the first artists signed by Sinatra to Reprise Records long ago. Growing up in a New York household transplanted to the San Fernando Valley, Rose's father was a working actor that mostly played gangsters that met tragic ends (notoriously in The Godfather) and her mother was an educator and a writer in her spare time.
