About me:

werwer

"Rasheeda has given the flute an improvisational and melodic voice, reminiscent of America's classical music jazz, amongst the hip hop generation while nurturing a deeper appreciation for live music and true musicianship." - Karen Mason, Honor Music Group

'Gone are the days of the one-dimensional musician, a bright star professionally & under stage lights.'- Juanita Knight

'Rasheeda's talent goes beyond just the music she plays, which is fascinating..I’ve always recognized her having the 3 P’s that are important when in position of an artist/activist; Pure, Passionate and Progressive. Rasheeda has the energy that is ever flowing!'- Angel of Love Events

'Impressive in the early stages of her music career.' - Amber Rhen

'Gangbanging on flutes.' - malkovichmusic.com


LIVE FLUTE
As a classically trained, multi-genre instrumentalist- I am thankful for the ability to borrow the wind and add my signature. Fluent in flute, 'Black Diamond' simply personifies a powerhouse born lightyearz away, emerging to share my gifts with the world.

I have shared stages with Stacy Epps, CJ Reid, Jahi Kearse, Everett James, Mojo Swagger, Rehaset, Rita J, Clan Destined, Melaphyre, Dashill Smith, Eugene IV, Mausiki Scales & the Common Ground Collective, Catt, Grits & Jelly Butter, Kinah Boto, Kebbi Williams, Drumadict, Gil Scott Heron, Dres of Black Sheep, Jaspects, Days Ahead, Foreign Exchange, KRS ONE, Julie Dexter, Richelle Scales, Eddie Coldfingaz, Kelsy Davis, ABYSS, and many others.

The best is yet to come, stay tuned!

    Di Amon DCarbonado, commonly known as the 'Black Diamond,' is a natural polycrystalline diamond found in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and Brazil. Its natural colour is black or dark grey, and it is more porous than other diamonds.
