Rodd P. started young as a self-motivated entertainer, singing and dancing at community centers, after acknowledging later that his true heart was not only singing and dancing but the gift of having the ear for the drum and music as a whole. Rodd P. set off to sit in with various blues, rock, country, Latin, jazz, R & B, and dj acts around his native city. After noticing that his feel for music was much higher in spirit, he decided to put together something that everyone, young and old, of all nationalities, could feel and through this "Deep" has surfaced. After acknowlegements of greats like Tito Puente, Sheila E., and Jerome of the former band "The Time," it sparked Rodd P.'s interest in percussion and anything that came close to percussion, electronic or acoustic. Rodd P. dominated it. As for music in genral, Rodd P. has always had the ear and the feel since day one so this has led to a self-taught, goal-oriented writing and production career.

RODD P.'s MUSIC WORTHY OF BIG SCREEN!
"Rodd P. has been the most persistently polite recording artist I have ever run into. A press packet arrives with a bio and a four-song demo. A little while later the follow-up phone call comes wondering if I received the kit. I don't return the call because I'm swamped under CDs.
About another two weeks later another call comes in.
Mr. Fineran, this is Rodd P. I was just wondering if you had a chance to listen to the CD I sent you yet.
Hey, this guy deserves an honest listen. "Deep" is Mr. P.'s debut demo. Rodd calls his music "electronic/new age." That's a little too broad. I would say his music best falls under a "trance-groove" sort of heading. Yeah, I know what you're
thinking. That music director wouldn't like it because it doesn't fit into her neat little pre-packaged categories.
You know what though? I like it and it should be heard. "Deep" is not boy band/pop princess fluff. Rodd P.'s music flows, gyrates and seeps into your subconscious. It plants a seed. When harvest time comes, look out. Although Rodd P. resides in Racine, Wisconsin, this is music of L.A., N.Y. and
any other big-time initials you can find.
You know when you're watching that slightly disturbing movie and the music just pulls you in with its sonic otherworldliness? You can't help but lean forward and get sucked into the ambience. That is what Rodd P.'s "Deep" is about.
My advice to Rodd? Don't bother with clubs, at least not yet. There is a burgeoning movie scene in Milwaukee right now with Mark Borchardt's success. Get in touch with as many movie people as you can, and we'll look forward to hearing your underscore for a number of motion pictures. Remember to invite me to the premiere!"

DJ Rodd P.'s "Deeper Than Deep" CD Should Stand The Test Of Time!
Rodd P. is one of those artist trying to bust out. A while back I did a short review on a teaser EP Rodd sent me. I just recieved a firecat of a CD by Rodd entitled "Deeper Than Deep/Time Capsule."
On the DJ scene, there are a number of sub-genres, some of which include jungle, techno and drum and bass. Rodd P.'s style falls more into the trance category. On "Deeper," the Capricorn Entertainment artist has produced, arranged, composed and performed all 14 tracks.
That means no samples, which is copying snippets of other people's material and rearranging it with your own stuff. His music is awash in keyboards and drum loops and carries its laid-back vibe unfalteringly throughout the disc.
The CD IS Deeper Than Deep and should stand the test of time. -- Patrick Fineran-The Racine Journal Times-Sounding Board Rodd P. says, "Music has always been a part of my life and my life's dream. Making music to me is a natural gift that God has blessed me with and I strongly feel that this is my mission in life."
