Rodd P.'s a artist/producer/composer/arranger/performer/percussionist from Racine, Wisconsin, that does a solo thing, making it sound bigger live, by incorporating electric/acoustic percussion, backed by sequencers and drum machine. His music best falls under a "trance-groove" sort of heading. Rodd P.'s music carries a unfalteringly laid-back vibe. His music flows, gyrates, and seeps into your subconscious. It plants a seed. When harvest time comes, look out. Although Rodd P. resides in Wisconsin, this is music of LA, NY and any other big-time initials you can find.
