Bio / Background
"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 old 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.
↓ more ↓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"
On her debut album Rhoda collaborated with one of Chicago's hottest new R&B producers Daniel'Burger Beatz' Szura on the tracks 'Shoulda Woulda Coulda' and 'Me against the World.' 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. It is also one of the highest ranked tracks on MTV's Best Music on Campus.
"Music is therapy"
What separates her from the crowded pack of divas is her songwriting and producing abilities. "Music is therapy for me I have kept a music diary since I was ten years old. I basically fill it with dreams, feelings, emotions and experiences and when I go to make a track I formulate the lyrics from this." Her producing influences lay with The Neptunes, Rodney Jerkins, Scott Storch, L.A. Reid and Her vocals bring to mind such artists as Alicia Keys, Ashanti, Christina Aguilera amongst others.
"The Future"
When asked what her resolutions for 2007 are Rhoda replied "Selling 100, 000 copies of my album would be nice" With over 100,000 plays on her Myspace and 20,000 fans worldwide she intends to do just that. Rhoda Morgan is the next big R&B star ready to take the Urban music scene by storm. Rhoda is currently working on material for her second album as well as writing and producing for other artists. She has performances scheduled at high schools, Colleges, clubs, lounges and radio shows in the Tri-State Area over the next few months.

not bad if you like commercial top 40 pop/R&BBig EC wrote on June 21, 2007
I saw her on the Manhattan Network T.V. show The block party and decided to check her out. This was the cheapest site for mp3 download of her album. It's pretty good, I enjoyed He Say She Say, it's commercial but at the same time it's a little different from everything else out there. If I had heard the whole album first, I probably would have only downloaded He say she say, Crazy (love it), so complete and no cure for love. I didn't really like the ballads, but I don't like slow songs so there you go. Overall worth checking out!
