Happy Rhodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Happy Rhodes (born August 9, 1965) is an American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and electronic musician. Born Kimberley Tyler Rhodes but called "Happy" since infancy, she legally changed her name to Happy Tyler Rhodes at the age of 16. The title of her 1987 album has provided a name to what some have begun to call "Ecto" music.

Her vocal range reaches highs in which she sounds very much like Kate Bush did in many of her early works, and lows in which she has been mistaken for Annie Lennox. Her songs "When the Rain Came Down" on the album "Ecto", and "Tragic" on "Many Worlds Are Born Tonight" exhibit this range.

The first 9 of Rhodes's albums were released under the Aural Gratification label. The 10th, "Many Worlds Are Born Tonight," was released by Samson Music. Rhodes is no longer affiliated with Samson.
