Someone said invent a name...so I did.

All material is studio based as I work as a songwriter rather than a performer - although I do perform, record and produce all the material I write.

It has created far more opportunities for independent musicians to be heard and to attract a wider audience. It has reduced the need to travel too, many musicians collaborate at an international level via the web.

I'm always in pursuit of publishing deals and licensing agreements, if the contract seems right.

"Rodrica Rudge" started out as a classical pianist, taking exams at the Royal College of Music, London, she also learned how to play cello and guitar. Later, she went on to become a published poet who then concentrated on writing lyrics and music. She worked for several years in the advertising industry, planning and negotiating publicity and advertising campaigns for many companies including music promoters and their acts. She currently writes specially commissioned songs for individuals or companies/organisations. Under her "artist" name she writes, performs, produces and engineers all the material herself.
