Album Notes

A native of Uganda, Rhoda was raised in the Washington,
D.C. area, where East and West African rhythms, pop, jazz,
Broadway, R&B, and hip hop music imbued her childhood,
creating a unique hybrid in her musical sensibilities.
As a member of various choral groups, from school and church choirs to a female a cappella group while attending
the University of Virginia, Rhoda's musical instruction
includes five-part harmony and piano. Her talent emerges
from deeply within, guided by a natural force of love and
passion for all things creative. Over the recent years,
she has performed with bands, ranging in genre from rock, pop, and R&B, and studied acting at the HB Studio in New York.
Rhoda’s theater work includes Cabaret (Understudy, Sally Bowles) and Once on This Island (Ti Moune) with the New York based Harmony Theater Company. Most recently, she has performed with great New York based stars like J-Records recording star Gavin Degraw and Blues Legend
Moe "better" Holmes at various venues in and around New York.
Currently, Rhoda can be seen performing in New York City with the Funk Band Loose Booty and has written and recorded her first solo album in collaboration with premier saxophonist Kareem Walkes. Rhoda holds a J.D. from the George Washington University School of Law and is admitted to practice in New York and Washington, D.C.
