Born and raised in St. Louis, MO Rhoda G. was introduced to music early in life. Her father, Fred Graham, Jr.,  was a member of a local group by the name of "The Migrations".  They covered artist such as "The Temptations" and "The Whispers". Her mother's ,Viveca Graham, favorite artists included Anita Baker and Luther Vandross.  

     

Rhoda started her musical journey by singing in the children's choir at Saints Fellowship Mission. By the time she was 12, Rhoda decided she would teach herself to play the drums.

 

After 2 years, of repeatedly asking her father for a saxophone, Rhoda 's father would purchase her first horn. However, within the next few days her mother would lose her fight with cancer.  

The saxophone instantly became more than just an instrument for Rhoda, it was the core of her healing process.

 

Rhoda learned to play by taking her horn to church every Sunday. She would play off to the side, without a microphone, until she was ready to play up front. Today, Rhoda is a very well known Saxophonist in St. Louis, MO. She has been fortunate enough to perform in Dubai at the Dusit Thani Hotel, as well as in the  Bahamas. 

 

In 2017, Rhoda competed in the "Amateur Night At The Apollo" competition  at the world famous Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY. She made it to the final round by taking first place on the first and second round and second place the third round. Rhoda has performed with, and opened for artists such as: Donnie McClurkin, Daryl Coley, Vickie Winnans, Chante Moore, Donell Jones, Carl Thomas, Naughty By Nature, Freddie Jackson, After 7 and many many more.  

 

Rhoda's greatest joy's in life was holding her daughter London in her arms for the first time (after Godson, Josh, got her ready for motherhood)  and getting married.  Losing her mom at a very young age left her feeling alone until her little princess came into the world. She then was blessed with bonus daughter and son !  To her family is everything. Rhoda's goal is to become a household name around the world.  She currently has over 100k followers on TikTok, and still growing. Now sit back and watch her soar! Oh, and book her for your next event.
