Jazz Night With Rhonda Thomas

Known for her signature style, sultry voice, and compelling songwriting, Rhonda is coming to captivate the audience of Serenbe!

Music lovers who have followed her journey through acclaimed albums such as Guess Who I Saw Today, Breathe New Life, Listen, Little Drummer Girl, and her live DVD Rhonda Thomas: Live at Centennial Park were thrilled when she teamed up with super-producers Khari Cabral, Daz-i-Kue, and Julius Speed to create her 2015 album Vinyl Daze. The project soared to #12 on the Billboard Jazz Charts, solidifying her place in the jazz world. Today, Rhonda continues to evolve as an artist, crafting new music that pushes creative boundaries.

For 11 years, Rhonda was a featured soloist and background vocalist for the legendary Isaac Hayes until his passing. Even while supporting Hayes, she remained dedicated to her solo career, earning his unwavering support. Speaking of her immense talent, Hayes once said, “Her voice has a wide range. She has the quality, vocal timbre, and vibrato of Deniece Williams when she goes high. There are a lot of vocal sounds in this young woman. Jazz-wise, she can scat too!”

A New York City native and Atlanta, GA resident who performs nationally and internationally, Rhonda’s natural talent, professional drive, and amazing charisma have landed her in the presence of greatness many times and has opened numerous doors for her.

Rhonda’s talents were also experienced by listeners on the other side of the globe. Her 2007 UK “Breathe New Life” Tour was met with glowing reviews.
