TWANA RHODES
vocals | music+lyrics | tambourine | shaker eggs
I was born in Oklahoma and raised in El Paso, Texas. I studied musical theatre: dance - but my reflection in the mirror did not really please me :) and so I transferred my attention from Dance to Song. So here I am - in love with and still passionate about music.

Habe music theatre: tanz studiert, aber, mochte meine "reflection in den spiegen nicht so sher) ahlzoo, is meine kreative aufmerksamkeit vons Tanz im Song umgewandelt.
