In a style reminiscent of George Winston and David Lanz, Seattle-based pianist/composer Rhonda Mackert draws in listeners with her evocative, heartfelt compositions, leading them to a place of peace and tranquility. As written by Gary Farr, Sky.fm Solo Piano Channel Creator, Programmer and Host and President of Secret Formula Records, Inc., "Rhonda’s (piano) expressions are spiritual, emotional and tender...I was delighted when Rhonda agreed to let me feature her and the music on Sky.fm’s Solo Piano Channel. My audience enjoyed her feature and we are still playing Rhonda’s tracks daily in our playlist. I look forward to the next release."
As a child, Rhonda studied piano for a few years before changing her musical focus to the flute. As an adult, she moved back to the piano where she found greater freedom of expression. Her piano compositions are largely a reflection of her personal journey, taking inspiration from her spiritual life, relationships and the beauty and mystery of nature. She has often been told her music “paints pictures” and “tells stories”.
In response to requests from friends and family, Rhonda recorded and released her debut CD, "When the Moon Cries" in the fall of 2007. It has been featured and receives ongoing airplay and recently placed fourth in the 2009 Just Plain Folks award for Best Album, Solo Piano category. Rhonda is planning to start recording her next CD in the fall of 2009.
Rhonda has performed at private residences, book stores and community events as well as having written and played original compositions for several weddings.
