Rod is an up and-coming, 21 year old, singer/songwriter/producer, who is currently finishing his first album, with his second single ‘Troubles’ due for release early 2008. Rod’s music, with its smooth acoustic tones and powerful vocals has captivated many people who have seen him perform "...Everyone listening was entranced and transfixed"(‘Coffee Revolution’). Rod writes and produces all of his own music and on many of his songs also plays all of the instruments as well as lead vocals.
Rod can regularly been seen headlining the UK's largest venues and indeed Rod has just returned from a UK tour in October 2007 to over 20,000 people having been asked to perform for the second year in a row for Rimmel London, the world’s largest make-up manufacturer, and Sugar Magazine, the UK’s biggest selling Teen Magazine, including dates in Glasgow, Cardiff, London, Sheffield, Manchester, Norwich, Basingstoke and Watford! Rod was the only unsigned artist on the tour - playing alongside Natalia(Upper 11 Records) and Minus IQ(Greengarden Records). The Tour was an incredible success, and Rod now has a loyal and rapidly growing fanbase in the UK. On the back of the success of the tour Rod was asked to perform at this years 'Mp3 Awards' in December 2007 to 1200 people, press and industry veterans in London, showcasing the best unsigned music of 2007, where he got a brilliant response. Rod also just last month performed to around a thousand people and 'MTV' in London at a very exclusive event “Capital VIP”, an event previously performed by the likes of Liberty X, So Solid Crew and Britney Spears. Following a great response at the previous event, Rod was asked to perform at the christmas Capital VIP event to 1000 people in London on 18th December 2007, playing alongside three Top 40 selling artists - including the lead singer from the famous girl group 'The 411'(Sony). Rod also recently headlined the Acoustic Stage at the University of Sheffield's Annual Music festival.
Rod signed a one-track deal with Universal(digital) and ‘Platinum’ records in November 2006 for a digital release of his single ‘A Forgotten World’ which is out now(Itunes, HMVdigital, Woolworths, Tescodownloads, Napster, 7digital, and many others.) The single received much critical acclaim, with BBC Radio giving the song a fantastic review live on air "The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up after listening to that…a very calming, warm sound"(‘The Breakfast Show’, BBC Radio). Rod also recently did an interview and had airplay of his new single 'Troubles(due for release April 2008) on Mercury 96.6 FM In November 2007, a very popular London/ based Radio station where the single got a "phenomenal response" from people texting in asking where they could buy it from. It also got a fantastic review from the DJ live on air "Rod Aaron Gammons what a voice, I just love that song"(DJ Heather Richardson). You can listen to the Mercury FM radio interview here
Rod has also just co-written the new album for French Rock Group 'W' who have just finished recording a €250,000 video to a song co-written with Rod 'Now That I'm Free' . He also co-wrote the first single 'Believe' which was released on April 3rd 2007 through Universal(digital) and Platinum Records across Europe. ‘W’ are currently making big headlines in France, and have just appeared in FHM magazine, Marie Claire Magazine and all over French national Radio. One of the song’s Rod co-wrote with W is also being used on a upcoming Channel 4 music documentary this year.
At the moment Rod is back in the studio recording several new songs, and has got together a fantastic group of musicians to play on the tracks. Rod has just finished his latest song ‘Troubles’ which is due to be his next single and is already causing quite a stir. The song features the fantastic Soul/RnB artist 'Joe Gee' who has performed with 'Gorrilaz', supported the likes of 'Akon' and 'Jagged Edge' and sang for many artists on numerous records including 'Simply Red' and 'Toni Braxton' amongst many others! The song also features and one the UK’s best Cello players who tours with Rod, 'Molly Carter'. Rod is also currently recording and producing a track he co-wrote, ‘Let you Go’ with Joe.
