In 1996, I founded the J.R. Rhodes Company (JRRC, formerly J.R. Recording Company). It’s a small business.

I am a dreamer who enjoys creating.

In high school, I created a chocolate chip cookie recipe, then baked and sold them weekly to the cafeteria.

JRRC is about creating music.

I work from home mostly, in a simple music and songwriting studio. What I love about simple is that simple travels well. So, JRRC is a small sole proprietorship in which I create works and collaborate via professional partnerships in various settings.

“J.R.’s smart and deeply soulful music creates a cosmos all its own. To hear it feels like being lifted off the ground and gently held aloft.”
- Cellist, Lori Goldston
“J.R. Rhodes has the badass, husky, musky voice with haunting, dense lyrics…great singer song writer.”
- Guitarist, Stone Gossard
"I have a physical response to the rich tones of J.R.'s voice. I immediately take a breath and pause because the unique sound and lyrics make me feel like I was invited to sit in on a very private, thought provoking journey."
- Listener, Lillian Aguilar
"What I heard knocked me out!"
- Jazz Double-Bassist for Charlie Parker, Ted Wald
“J.R. is amazing. I asked her to sing on a project — I gave her very little info, just lyric sheets and a few mp3s. I said ‘I trust you. Get inside the songs — do what you think is right.’ She came into the studio a few weeks later and knocked everybody over — soulful, understated, right on target with the melody and the lyric. First take. Whatever it is that she has access to — whatever informs her art — is worth every second of your time. “
- Folk Singer Songwriter, Jim Page
