"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?

You work seamlessly with collaborators - you & Gene are an example of why a good professional rapport, each contributing different strengths, is such a joy to listen to. Perfectly balanced respect between the 2 of you, no upstaging or competition - a brilliant cohesive piece of work. Hats off to you both.Your writing is always spot on, use & sound of the words, meaning, metaphor, phrasing & execution all stellar, backed up by your mysterious atmospheric music which sells the theme perfectly. A multi-layered stunner - a keeper!as I see (hear) it, these 10 tracks you have on your site are sophisticated, excellently recorded, professionally performed and wonderful to listen to - if they had been (along with yourself) published and released as an album by a major label to the masses they'd have charted and you'd have been feted in similar way to that of the likes of a Sade or a Norah Jones. Just so good!This is such a strong track. Just like a good book can read it over and over but in this case listen
Thanks also for latest sound on my new ones. This song is genius.All comments (1,326)

Thanks Rodz, as I see it mixing ‘dance’ (industrial vrs) saved a ton of dough in therapy for sure, lol 😂 Cheers and have great week!
