Driven by the music, never the spotlight.

Rodney’s path winds through bands like Raine, Moses Jones, and Charlotte-based psych rock outfit Roman Candles, alongside a wide range of original projects.

He continues to explore new musical territory through recording, engineering, and collaborations with fellow musicians, including longtime musical partner Kennon Knight. For Rodney, the best moments happen when the groove takes over and everything just falls into place.
