Billie Rose Prichard

Billie Rose Prichard is an Australian actress on stage and screen, and a hip-hop musician.

In 2006, Prichard appeared opposite Richard Roxburgh and Essie Davis in the made-for-television film The Silence. That same year, she had a role in TV film Small Claims: The Reunion, with Claudia Karvan and Rebecca Gibney.

In 2008, Prichard appeared as one of five friends who venture into the remote area of the Blue Mountains in the feature film Monkey Puzzle, alongside Ryan Johnson and Ella Scott Lynch. It was later released in the US as Enter the Wild (2018).

In 2011, Prichard played Rose in the thriller feature X: Night of Vengeance.

Theatre Prichard's stage roles have attracted critical acclaim. In 2006, she played the young daughter of a titled lady in pre-Federation northern Queensland in Constance Drinkwater. A reviewer wrote "Prichard [and the actor playing her sister] work with great rapport to create characters that defy easy description. Nine-year-olds who have glimpsed the 20th century and know how it ends, who commune with spirits and wrestle with men, are made coherent and nuanced by these talented young actors." "Billie Rose Prichard is superb as the bruised and troubled Grace: sullenly uncommunicative, aggressively defiant, but then suddenly sometimes heart-achingly vulnerable."

Music As Billie Rose, Prichard is the vocalist with hip-hop group The Daily Meds. The group released their debut album Happy Daze, followed in 2014 by an album titled Sour Milk. A reviewer said about Sour Milk: "Vocalist Billie Rose seamlessly complements the hard hitting nature of the record without coming across as passive. For Rose there is no hiding behind a big beat or wailing in the background, it’s her straight up, candid choruses that cut the album up and give it different dimensions".
