"Growing Up"
Rhoda Morgan grew up in London, United Kingdom listening to everything from reggae to classical music. From a young age she developed a huge passion for music. She attended the renowned Sylvia Young Theatre School at 12 years old where she realized her ability to write and produce music. At just 14 years she made her first demo tape “On the air” recorded in her bedroom studio. The demo tape found its way into the hands of a small independent label Casa Records who immediately recognized Rhoda’s talent and approached her to record the dance track ‘Say you’ll come back to me’ which achieved some success in the dance charts. She began spending all her free time at her local recording studio, singing backing vocals for other artists and writing hooks in return for studio time. It was there that she met a producer from the show “Pop Idol” who invited her to audition for Simon Cowell. After a short stint on Pop Idol Rhoda was voice tested for both Universal Island records and Sony/Columbia but she wanted more than what the U.K. music scene could offer her.

"The Journey"
Aged 18, she packed her bags and relocated to New York City to live out her musical dreams. She quickly began writing and producing for other artists and within a year she emerged as a well respected songwriter and producer. It was not until January 2006 that she started working on her debut album. It took eight months to complete after a number of setbacks including days before its initial release her apartment being robbed with everything she had ever recorded being stolen on the mixers hard drive. However she went back to square one and re-recorded every track from scratch releasing “From Brixton to Brooklyn” in November 2006. It is available at HMV, Tower Records and Virgin Records retail stores as well as online at CD Baby, I tunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Best Buy, Amazon, Yahoo Music and Sony Connect. Twenty percent of every c.d. sale is donated to the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (www.cafod.org.uk)

"From Brixton to Brooklyn"

The remaining nine tracks she produced herself and feature some of New York's finest underground rappers; Seldom Seen, Jersey and Stelo and also reggae artist Loose. The single “He Say She say” is currently receiving airplay on college radio stations throughout North America is in its sixth month in the Top 20 on the Idol Underground Urban charts.
