Born
and raised in Miami, Florida, Rita grew up and embraced the heartbeat
of the city’s music industry. After graduating with honors from
the University of Miami, School of Music, she started working
the club scene.
Her well-known and established local performances
would soon take a turn for “session time” at recording studios.
She has sung and arranged background vocals for Jennifer Lopez,
Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, Gloria Estefan, Ricky Martin, Celine Dion,
Frank Sinatra, and many others.
When approached to become a band member for notable
artists, she left the studio for a while and went on world tours
with Shakira and Gloria Estefan. Rita has also been on promotional
tours as a band member for said artists which included live performances
on The Late Show with David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, The
Jay Leno Show, MTV unplugged, VH1 by Request and The Grammys to
name a few.
Rita’s time “behind” the scenes has given her the
expertise to produce with a fresh new sound. She has found her musical
“home” in House Music for it allows her to fuse her love for moving
rhythms,
lush harmonies, and meaningful lyrics.
She is currently working on personal
projects, as well as projects for upcoming talent.
