"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 licenses music and/or lyrics to companies/organizations, she also writes promotional pieces for small businesses and commissioned songs for individuals/special occasions. Under her "artist" name she writes, performs, produces and engineers all her material herself. For special projects, she also occasionally collaborates with other writers and composers.Have you performed in front of an audience?Occasionally. But now I am studio based as I work as a songwriter rather than a performer - although I do perform, record and produce all the material I write.

All kinds of equipment: Electric and acoustic instruments, recording hardware - digital recorders, computers, even occasionally tape recorders & DAT machines. Outboard units (effects/reverb, compressors, EQ units, mixers, pre-amps etc). Different kinds of software. Some very old gear, some very new stuff, ranging across most manufacturers....it depends on what type of music I'm working on.Anything else?

Thanks much Rodz! Givin another spin of 1 of my ATfavs of yours!
No matter what its been, what it is, I still luv this place!!
AGot that whole lush late sixties early seventies vibe like the standout song on a soundtrack to cool art movie. Vocals are exemplary as are the lyrics and the music itself is hauntingly beautiful.Hey Rodz, dropped in to say thanks for your wonderful comments on 'try' - made my day re; Bolan/T Rex, thanks so much for that - just had to listen again to this brilliant piece of sophisticated pop, wonderful music and so radio friendly in every way! Also, very cool re; Steve Harley who I admire much, not surprising you moved in his circles, your work's top notch, ace!Hmmm... Giving Sade some competition Rodz! :)) Love the enticing feel in this Pop Rocker! Very smooth and ear candy for sure :))All comments (1,330)
