Background

About Rodney Edwards

As a child, I would frequently wake to the sounds of Anita Baker, Boyz II Men, and Brandy from the living room on Saturday mornings. My grandmother would share stories of her musical group (The Emmanuel Lott Singers) which continued in the family for generations and every Sunday, I would attend church and sing with the choir. In fact, I've been jokingly dubbed as "Diddy's son" by my mother due to my musical inclinations and my forward fashion sense. My early passion for music continued on through my undergraduate career at California University of Pennsylvania. There I sang with the University Choir, Vulcanize (all male acapella), Young and Gifted Gospel Choir, and completed an internship with Listen Local First, a non-profit organization in Washington D.C. dedicated bolstering the local music scene in our nation's capital. Since graduating Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology, my business-savvy nature drove me to obtain my MBA from California University of Pennsylvania. With a heavy academic focus in Marketing and Business Law. I completed a Social Media/Marketing and Promotions internship with UManagement, LLC where I increased the company's social media reach and engagement by record percentages and successfully led marketing campaigns for the company's clients. I currently provide managerial services to up and coming artists on a freelance basis. My ultimate goal is to continue my career in a direction that will allow me to combine both my passion for music and my background in business.
