Rona Geffen

Bio:

Driven by an uncompromising approach towards music & sound, Rona Geffen is an all DIY musician & artist inspired by everyday city life. Her mastery over the production work as well as her warm & thick voice juxtaposed with an explicit sensual attitude, creates a booming lush rhythmic and musical world, where everything is allowed & probably distorted.

Geffen's debut album "Bilono" (2008) is a blend of extremes, surfing between hard electronica, sexy vocals &  pulling strings, creating a unique and pulsating tone. Her 2nd EP "The Emancipation of Mitzy" (2010) gathers 6 tracks, 5 of which are heavy dance floor oriented reminiscent of techno circa the early 2000's. Geffen states, matter-of-factly, "its all about heavy tribal beats, massive bass-drums and hectic percussion." This EP is more unified by its genre representing hard & pumping Techno for the chaotic crowd. Drugs, alcohol, politics and sex (as always) are the issues driving the music. Distortions, amplifiers & rhythm are really the means to make it come to life.

The pursuit for massive hypnotic sound scapes continues on stage where this one woman show comes alive - tweaking her machines, manipulating vocal & music in diverse and edgy ways, combining a whole lot of rhythm n' bass, singing & live sampling.

While today Ronna Geffen is collaborating with international artists including;  Mad Professor & Yasmeen Goder, her beginning has been compared to so many classic films, as she moved to the sin city of Tel Aviv at the age of 17 and discovered the epic rave scene back in '98. Her years of playing piano, guitar & clarinet resolved to the moment where heavy repetitive drums were revealed to her ears and the idea of anything else than producing and performing became the only thing that mattered. .

Geffen has performed regularly around the world, but mostly in New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, and of course London- she is currently releasing forthcoming album, 'Blood of My Blood' independently in spring 2013-  ..
