I am a MARTYR! An INSULT to my INTELLECT....

About Me

RHONDA-GUITARIST/SONGWRITER ----- After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.... } RHONDA JUNE V Height: 5”7 ish. Hair colour – Chocolate. Eye colour – Emerald green. Remarkable traits: songwriter, social activist.Rhonda “JUNE” was bourne in Newport Beach, California 24 JUNE to her internationally renowned Thai (“fashion designer” / textile manufacturer) mother SUNANTA, once voted one of Thailand’s most beautiful women – and her part-time musician / entrepreneur (German/ Irish/ Spanish) father Manuel .Early on, Rhonda was “singled out” for her exotic looks and gemlike “green eyes” as she spent her formative years as a teen fashion model, who also enjoyed surfing, playing tennis, and exploring the “infinite” world of music, as a guitarist, pianist and percussionist.It is widely reported that during her high school days in Costa Mesa, California ,Rhonda spent most of her time being lured into a full-time music career by her early rock musical influences; Carlos Santana, Roger Waters, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler, Richie Blackmoor, Alex Lifeson, Robert Craye, and on the pop side according to those who knew her, claim that her tastes were a bit more eclectic as evidenced, in her obvious passion today, for the works of Michael Jackson, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Barry Manilow, Earth Wind & Fire and the legendary George Benson.According to a recent article in Buzz magazine, Rhonda has been named one of the world’s most “electric performer’s” ---often referred to by her peers as a “dreamy minimalist” for her “organic raw sound” and “sensuous” on- stage persona, she is a “raw” and “distinctive” talent poised to explode in a “revolutionary”, take no prisoners manner for all the world to see---live--and experience.A true non-conformist, Rhondas approach to sound borders on the evolutionary as she successfully fuses the coolest elements of jazz, blues, funk, rock, and pop styles together in her musical compositions which leave the inevitable, “indelible mark” on all who are prepared to leave caution to the wind ….Rhonda fans beware….groove with extreme caution, and be forewarned - it is wise to take a rattlesnakes approach to her music, for once the listener is ensnared the real games begin.Check out the TAMING INGRID band page: www.myspace/tamingingridGreat music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory. HERE IS WHAT INSPIRES ME...IM SO HAPPY! CHECK THIS OUT....THIS PHOTO is of an IMAGE that Appeared on my wall..and continues to Appear during later Summer near sundown. The glass in which the light shines through is NOT shaped like that...The MIRACLE about it..is if you look closely...you will see that the FIGURES are extremely smiliar to the WRITING on my WHITE TELECASTER....take a look...For those of you who KNOW me and KNOW what that writing Means.....YOU ARe most likely TRIPPIN OUT Right now......extremely wild. Perhaps this is Heavan saying Hello.....

I like GREAT Songs, Good Musicianship...but mainly I dig a GOOD Song! and MUSICIANSHIP..people that actually PLAY and KNOW their Instruments...I try not to get in the way of the music. Let it flow...

Influences: ONE SEES WELL ONLY WITH THE HEART. WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS INVISBLE TO THE EYES. "... everyone was using tiny brushes and doing watercolors, while Jimi Hendrix was painting galactic scenes in Cinemascope. We are working in a field of mystical resonance, sound and vibration... that's what makes people cry, laugh and feel their hair stand up ... " - Carlos Santana "There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself." -Johann Sebastian Bach "When Lonnie Mack came out with the guitar instrumental "Memphis" I thought, Oh God, finally somebody we guitar players can relate to !" - Dicky Betts / Allman Bros. Band "Without music, life would be a mistake." -Friedrich Nietzsche
