Although she was in an environment where zydeco was heard, she took little interest in the music at the time. It was when she was sixteen that she first got fascinated with zydeco music. She attended a zydeco dance at Richard's, a famous zydeco club in Lawtell, Louisiana, and saw Boozoo Chavis play which got her started to learning the music. At this dance, she also met Morris Ledet, her husband to be. She learned the accordion watching Morris play. When he heard her, he stepped aside allowing her the spotlight, and became her accompanist on the bass guitar. Morris, then brought rosie to his producer, Mike Lachney,a/k/a DJ BAD WEATHER (veteran zydeco producer). Mike was so impressed, that he quickly set up a recording session. Mike then took Rosie to Floyd Soileau, of Maison De Soul label. Floyd also was impressed and gave Mike a contract to produce five albums on Rosie. She started playing around Louisiana and Texas in 1994. The same year, she released her debut album Sweet Brown Sugar on Maison De Soul label. She is a young female zydeco accordion player famous in the genre for her sultry and suggestive lyrics. She continues to tour and record with her band the Zydeco Playboys. She resides with her husband in Iota, Louisiana
  • Mary Roszela Bellard, conocida como Rosie Ledet es una cantante y acordeonista criolla de zydeco, nacida en Church Point, Luisiana, el 25 de octubre de 1971. Nacida y crecida en un entorno rural, en el que el zydeco estaba presente con frecuencia, Rosie Ledet tomó contacto con el género a los dieciseis años, tras presenciar un concierto de Boozoo Chavis en uno de los clubs legendarios de zydeco, Richard's, en Lawtell. Su futuro marido, Morris Ledet, que tocaba el acordeón, fue quien le enseñó la técnica y, posteriormente, cambió al bajo para acompañar a Rosie, y la presentó a DJ Bad Weather, uno de los productores históricos de zydeco. Tanto DJ Bad como Floyd Soileau, de la discográfica Maison de Soul, quedaron impresionados por Rosie y firmaron un contrato por 5 discos, el primero de los cuales, "Sweet Brown Sugar", se publicó en 1994, tras un gira exitosa por Texas. Poseedora de un estilo muy personal y poderoso, algunos críticos la han comparado con la posición que grupos como The Allman Brothers Band tuvieron, en su momento, respecto del blues sureño.
  • ロージー・レデットは、米国ルイジアナ州チャーチポイント出身のクレオール系ザディコ・アコーディオン奏者、シンガー。出生時の名前は、メアリー・ロスゼラ・ベラール。 ルイジアナの田舎町で幼少期を過ごしたロージーは、当時は主にロックを聴いており、ザディコの聴ける環境にいたにも関わらず、興味を示すことはなかったという。しかし16歳のとき、ルイジアナ州ローテルの有名なザディコ・クラブ、リシャーズで開催されたザディコ・ダンス・パーティーでブーズー・チェイヴィスのライヴをみて、ザディコに興味を持つようになった。また、彼女はこのとき将来の夫となるモリス・レデットとも出会っている。 ロージーは、夫のモリスのプレイを見ながらアコーディオンを練習した。彼女のプレイを聴いたモリスは、バンドの主役を彼女に譲り、ベースに転向して彼女のサポート役にまわった。ロージーは、1994年からルイジアナ州とテキサス州で演奏活動を始め、同年メゾン・ド・ソウル・レーベルからアルバムSweet Brown Sugarでデビューを果たした。 男性が圧倒的に多いザディコ界の中で、若手女性のロージーは官能的な歌を押し出し、一躍有名になった。現在も、彼女は自身のバンド、ザディコ・プレイボーイズとツアー、レコーディングを続けている。
