About Me

Welcome to Cyndi Rott's personal myspace page.
As with all areas of the SPiT LiKE THiS UNiVERSE, this is a 100% bullshit free zone. So leave your inhibitions and your pretensions at the door. Dive in and have fun. Have a look around and make yourself known.
How did I come to be in SPiT LiKE THiS? Having picked up the guitar at the age of four, i quickly found inspiration in the great bluesers and rock'n'rollers. Muddy Waters had more rock'n'roll in his pinky finger than the posers out there in the rock world. I found what it is that music means to me: it's meant to make you feel. And you don't get there by locking yourself in your bedroom. So I got out there, playing.
I've worked with some highly accomplished musicians and acts over the years. I traveled the globe with my guitar in hand, playing coast to coast USA. Eventually I ended up in London, where I decided I wanted to work as part of a band - to build something. As if by some cosmic force, at that point I encountered a gent named Lord Zion. We shared what seems to be a rare vision and attitude so within days I had become a member of SPiT LiKE THiS...
Now I spend all my time doing everything I can to help take what we do further - to make the SPiT LiKE THiS UNiVERSE bigger and stronger. On the main SLT page you'll find details of our international press coverage; somewhere on this page you'll find info on some of the bands we've had the pleasure of touring with; and our other achievements as a totally independant band include amassing a fan emailing list of 17K+, Myspace friends list of 22K+, 2.5K Street Squadron Members, and website hits in excess 50,000+ a month (spitlikethis.com). No band out there works harder. We do it because we stand for what we believe in. And we want you to be a part of it.
And in 2008? SPiT LiKE THiS will be signing a deal for the album. So expect things to become pretty radical. I look forward to sharing it all with you.
Beyond playing guitar? I keep healthy and strong, in body and mind. I do my best.
