RAD

Dear friends and listeners......

grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and began playing piano at the age of 4. In 1990 she completed her jazz studies at U.C. Berkeley. The West Coast music scene quickly got hip to rad.'s latin jazz chops and she was soon playing with legendary musicians like Pete Escovedo, Benny Velarde (Cal Tjader), Orestes Vilato (Santana), Ray Obiedo and David Garibaldi among others. Her move to Europe in 1991 marked the beginning of her solo career. With the encouragement of her husband and producer Michael Kirsch (co-founder of the Soulciety Record label), rad. became Rose Ann's solo project, a funk show spiced with latin flavors.

The debut LP "Radified" (1992) catapulted rad. into the spotlight. It's hit single "Wishy" featured on the now classic "Soulciety Funky Family Compilation I" stormed European dancefloor charts and received "Album of the Month" awards in many prominent music publications throughout Europe......enjoy.....zero
