My name is Rhonda Burl. I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, known for its varied lifestyles and main tourist attraction-Golden Gate Bridge. I grew up listening to the radio stations KDIA and KSOL. Music became embedded in my spirit in an inexplicably way. Throughout the years, it became my catalyst for writing. I am inspired by all genre of music. While I can't classify myself as a singer or a musician, I can strongly classify myself as a great lyricist. In August 2004, I collaborated with a great keyboardist. I picked one of my songs from 1998. "I Threw Love Away". Recorded in an R&B flavor. It was performed locally November 2004, at Club Jazz Nouveau.
