Neo-Soul Jazz Stylist, Rhonda Ross began her music career during her final years of Brown University. Her uplifting and resonant voice immediately struck a chord with music lovers. Rhonda’s unique phrasing and authenticity to her art, sets her apart from other vocalists. As the only child of Diana Ross and Motown Founder, Berry Gordy, it has become evident that Rhonda not only has the talent, but the significance to carry on her parents’ legacy all the while establishing her own unique musical destination.

In 1994, Rhonda met, married, and began a 20-year musical collaboration with jazz pianist and composer, Rodney Kendrick. Through him, Rhonda commenced studying with the late jazz great, Abbey Lincoln. “It was Abbey and Rodney who convinced me to begin my journey as a singer-songwriter.” Rhonda says, “I primarily consider myself a story-teller and poet. I use my music to inspire and to uplift. To teach people – including myself.”

Rhonda Ross is a force on stage and her performances become inspirational events. She kicked off 2013 headlining President Obama’s 2nd Inaugural Ball and later, performed to rave reviews at The Hollywood Bowl. Now a mother to a preschool-age son, Rhonda’s music has taken on the more mature stance of a woman “with the understanding and wisdom of a 40 yr old, but the passion and dream-seeking of a 20 yr old!” And what a combination it is! Rhonda will quickly tell you that this is the most exciting time in her life and musical journey. New songs are emerging. Songs like: “Nobody’s Business” – a groovy, bass-led reminder that “your joy comes from the inside and that it’s nobody else’s job to make you happy” and “Summer Day” — an upbeat realization that even after the harshest winter, the sun will re-emerge and “the buds of hope can still bloom”.

Through Rhonda’s individual and creative expression, the legendary Ross sound continues to live on and expand. 2014 will find Rhonda traveling the country and the world with her exciting and encouraging musical message. Her live performance will give you goose bumps, move you to tears, and leave you believing that you can do or be anything! Make sure to catch Rhonda’s show when she appears on a stage near you.
