Rhoda Nkojo

About Me

A native of Uganda, Rhoda was raised in the Washington, D.C. area, where East and West African rhythms, pop, jazz, Broadway, R&B, and hip hop music imbued her childhood, creating a unique hybrid in her musical sensibilities. As a member of various choral groups, from school and church choirs to a female a capella group while attending the University of Virginia, Rhoda's musical instruction includes five-part harmony and piano. Her talent emerges from deeply within, guided by a natural force of love and passion for all things creative. Over the recent years, she has performed with bands, ranging in genre from rock, pop, and R&B, and studied acting at the HB Studio in New York. Rhoda’s theater work includes Cabaret (Understudy, Sally Bowles) and Once on This Island (Ti Moune) with the New York based Harmony Theater Company. Most recently, she has shared the the stage with J-Records recording star Gavin DeGraw and Blues Legend Moe Holmes. Currently, Rhoda can be seen performing her original music as well as performing with Funk Band Loose Booty in New York City. Her brand new self-titled album, produced by Kareem "Lil Maceo" Walkes, will be available in August 2008 on I-Tunes, CD Baby and Digstation. Rhoda's second album is a rich collection of Urban/Pop, soulful grooves with some jazz and blues highlights, nicely capped off with her signature powerful vocals and deeply emotive lyrical content.!!!

Sounds Like:“It'z 'bout Time” by Rhoda Nkojo is an excellent collection of R&B/pop songs. The tight band and excellent recording quality provide an effective backdrop for Rhoda's impressive vocal performances. Many tracks on this CD have a catchy upbeat groove that will have your body moving. "The Sweetest Taboo" is a memorable upbeat R&B tune with a catchy chorus and tight harmonies. Rhoda shows a more emotional side on "Brother," where her tender vocal performance and rich harmonies are nicely set above a beautiful acoustic guitar performance. The vocal talents of this lawyer shine through on this CD. If you're a fan of R&B or pop, we recommend that you give this a listen.-The RadioIndy Reviewer Team
