Live in Japan



Certainly the first ingredient to this Live CD is rhythm. The mean grooves and intricate interplay that rad. and her band weave through night after night lure listeners in effortlessly.

East Babe



Growing up in the East Bay city of Oakland's notorious Fruitvale District in the 1970's, both area and era shaped rad.'s musical taste and esthetic. rad. remains true to the art of the ALBUM, identifying roots of today's dance music and weaving them into her own trunk of funk. In this context rad. digs deeper, goes for essence - minimalist at times, orchestral when needed.

Higher Plane



A thoughtful

mixture of soul, latin and funk, rad. manages to mesh gut-wrenching groove

and intellect with her own musical signature.

Higher Plane will ease you from a loud Saturday night into a sunny Sunday

morning, and still allow you to be painfully hip.
