Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Rodrigo found out that he could sing when he was 17 yrs old which was pretty late considering most singers have sang for as long as they can remember. He sang after listening to singers such as Mariah Carey,Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklyn, Whitney Houston, Tony Braxton, Lauryn Hill& Tanya Blaunt (On sister Act2). After that he engaged on dancing, acting, and songwriting. Rodrigo then moved to NYC for the third time and studied music at the City University of NY. He has performed both as a dancer and a singer in many venues throughout Brazil and the USA. Now, after yrs of perfecting his craft he is ready to break into the music business. He wants to get signed to a major label.
