OF
( YOLI )Born Yolanda Rodrigo in the beautiful city of Newport Rhode Island, she was the second born of four girls. Raised around a music loving family, who love to sing and dance. Although most could sing fairly well, Yolanda and her sister Melinda were blessed with soulful voices that would out shine the rest. Singing around the house Yolanda and Melinda with no vocal training would write songs and perform them for the family. Unusually confident at an early age the two of them would stand in the hall of there development where they lived while their uncle and now manager, Jose Rivera Neilson video taped them singing and fighting over who missed a line or note. As they continued to sing they met a beautiful voiced gospel singer named Maria Sanders AKA Kenyatta.
