__________________________________________________________________
Vanessa is a big, funky black man with a huge afro, trapped in the body of a petite brunette woman.
She doesn't really sing much, because when she opens her mouth, she longs to unleash the deep earthy voices of Ray Charles, Larry Graham, Barry White . sadly this is not physically possible.
Therefore, she speaks through her greasy, growly, thunderous Hammond B-3 organ; only then can she fully become the black man she really is.
She also plays piano . but only in very groovy situations, usually salsa-related.
If you want to know about her musical past and present, upcoming shows, recording projects, press releases and all that jazz, check out her website -- vanessarodrigues-dot-com.
