About the Artist
A pianist since the age of 5, Rose Ann Dimalanta, alias rad. went
on to study music at Berkeley with Susan Muscarella while at the
same time learning and playing alongside Bay Area legends like Pete
Escovedo, Benny Velarde, David Garibaldi (ex-Tower of Power), Ray
Obiedo and such prominent players as multi-percussionist Michael
Spiro, Rebeca Mauleon (author of the Salsa bible "Salsa Guidebook
for Piano and Ensemble"), among many others.
Heavily influenced from those laid back R&B and latin jazz sounds
of the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area, the keyboardist, vocalist
and songwriter, began her solo project and career from the harbors
of Hamburg, Germany, performing in the clubs of the reeperbahn red
light district (as did a well known English band, originally from
Liverpool, starts with a B.....).
In 1992 her first solo album. "radified" took European dancefloor
charts by storm. The track "Wishy" became an underground club hit
in cities from London to Munich to Montpellier. Its successor
"Gotta Be," with the jazzy track "Venus Drops" helped make rad. a
repeatedly sold-out act at Paris' Hot Brass Club as well as
London's Jazz Cafe.
An exciting live performer and a perrenial concert tip in venues
all over Europe, rad. has consistently been on the road since the
release of "radified". FAQ: rad. stands for Rose Ann Dimalanta. She
acquired the name rad., when serving a term as president of the
U.C. Jazz Department of the University of California in Berkeley in
her own radical way in 1989.
