She began her musical journey with classical piano before discovering the bass guitar, quickly establishing herself as one of Israel's first female freelance musicians. She performed extensively with leading artists, television house bands, stage productions, and touring ensembles before relocating to New York to study with legendary bassist Anthony Jackson at the Manhattan School of Music. She later expanded her studies to include Afro-Caribbean music, further shaping her distinctive musical voice.

Over the years, Rosenkrantz has performed with acclaimed artists including Debbie Friedman, Gabrielle Roth, Retumba, and many others. In addition to performing, she has worked as a music director and record producer on a wide range of projects.

As a bandleader and collaborator, Rosenkrantz has created and led numerous original projects, working with musicians across diverse genres and musical traditions. Since 2024, she has been releasing her own solo recordings, featuring original compositions built around her signature bass-driven sound.

Her original music has been licensed for film and television, and her classical compositions have been performed at venues throughout New York City.

Beyond her performing career, Rosenkrantz is deeply committed to building community through music. She is the co-founder of Artists4Peace, a global initiative that brings artists together through creative collaboration, and co-founder of the Beacon Flow Music & Wellness Festival, a free annual community festival in Beacon, New York.
