Rheya is the sound of something familiar sprinkled with a uniquely fresh and exceptional twist of brilliance! They present sing-a-longable pop pieces, edgy rock anthems and singer-songwriter poetry, all spun together by the distinctive sound of Rheya.
Swedish-born Charlotta Larsen and London guitarist Robert Dodds met in music school. Together their influences range from Aerosmith, Jeff Buckley and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Whitney Houston, Dixie Chicks and Ella Fitzgerald. They found that these influences laid an interesting foundation in their prolific songwriting together. Rheya define their sound as pop extended into rock, soul, blues, country, jazz and anything else that can be musically inspiring. Therefore, when experiencing Rheya live or on a recording you'll find a bunch of songs which appeal to most people. There is something in Rheya for everyone.
Rheya's live performance is always something different. Either way they're going to grab you by your wits and have you begging for more! They have played some of London's most famous venues, ranging from stripped down acoustic gigs at The Troubadour to playing with a full band at the world renowned Shepherd's Bush Empire.
Rheya are currently working on their debut album, which will be released sometime in the very very near future. Check back for updates, or better yet sign the mailing list!

Hello Lovelies - I really like your new song that I just popped over to have a sneaky listen to. I hope life is good and to hear more soon. Love, Juliet xx
Thanks Lotta, that's really kind. I've just checked out your page also... which I do from time to time but am usually too shy to write anything... most unlike me. Hadn't seen the "I'll Be Here" video though. Nice work! The whole package looks very professional. Always thought you really had your head screwed on.
When indeed am I playing in London again? When are YOU playing in london?! I'm just getting into a new area, as I moved to Thame (a town near oxford) a few month ago and have only just got out of the haze of renovating. Anywhere you could recommend I approach in London? I'm so out of touch after 2 years away down south. Or, do let me know if YOU need a support act. I'm very well behaved ;)
Hej Charlotta. Va kul att höra musiken! Jag älskar fotot på dig som du har som profil bild. Så härligt med allt hår och din sköna attityd i bilden. Ha en härlig sommar Kram kram Ida
sounding gorgeous Lotta!!! - all looks well and exciting for you!! Best wishes for the album - doing the same myself (AHHH editing editing editing - if I was tighter I wouldn't have to do it!). Keep on shining!! Kimwei x
I Have Two Of The Most Beautiful Ears In The World. They Don’t Hear Color, Hate, Or All Those Other Mean Things. They Hear You. Your Music. I Was Born With This.
