-Born in Istanbul to a  Sephardic Jewish family. Her father Avraam or Abraham Skinazi, had a storage facility and was paid to store goods for people, most often for those leaving the country for a long period of time. Of Flora, Roza's mother, there are no documented facts. Roza had one sister (name unknown) and two brothers, Sami and Nisim. '''Roza Eskenazi''' came to [[Thessaloniki]], [[Greece]] as a young girl and made a name in rebetika music with her coquettish voice.  Roza's exact date of birth is not known. In her autobiography "Auta Pou Thimame" ("What I Remember") she states she was born in [[1910]]. The autobiography, published in [[1982]], is derived from interviews Roza gave in [[1972]]. By 1972, Roza had outlived all her siblings. Apart from being forgetful by then, Roza appears to have deliberately concealed her age (she probably had done so since the [[1920s]]). Some, like the musicologist [[Panayiotis Kounadis]], believe that Roza was born between [[1883]] - [[1887]], whilst others state she was born between [[1890]] - [[1900]].

 Roza's early years are documented very poorly. In her autobiography, Roza states that the family moved to [[Komotini]], but she could not remember how long she stayed there. It is interesting that her father Abraham stayed in [[Thessaloniki]] during this period, but it is unclear whether this was for economic or domestic reasons.

 In her autobiography, Roza states that she did not work in "Cafe-Amans" (a cafe where singers would improvise songs) or "Cafe-Satans" (cabarets). She infers that these places were disreputable. However, it is likely that Roza did indeed work in Cabarets, as, although there is little documented facts, a still of Roza from [[1915]] appears to be of a typical Cabaret singer (this may also be part of the explanation of what Roza was doing during the years that Roza tried to keep hidden by changing her age so drastically).
-She made her first record in [[1929]]. In the [[1950s]] she toured extensively the United States with much success becoming a favourite of many a [[Greek-American]] at that time. Roza died on [[December 2]], [[1980]] and lies in an unmarked grave at the village of Stomio on the [[Gulf of Corinth]].

Roza also returned to [[Athens]] and purchased a large house in Kipoupoli, Peristeri, where she lived for the remaining years of her life.
