Let's do the best we can 2 B the best version of ourselves.
Rudee started dancing at 10 years old after having seen the movie Fame which was a true revelation for him. He starts with school representations encouraged by Catherine Seigneur, his gym teacher who knew how to target and improve her pupils' talent. He joins the « Black Tiger », a StreetDance band and becomes with his friend Sabrina, the official dancer of the singer « Henri Debs ». He performs on severalTV shows alongside Zouk Machine, Joëlle Ursull, Sadi Lancreot, Eric Brouta, and his dearly missed friend Gilles Floro. During several performances he becomes his favourite singer « Prince » by playing the lookalike.
His mother lets him do as he wishes and when his passion becomes his one and only goal, his Godmother Radiah Frye (Singer, Model, Dancer) guides him in the show business world. He does appearances for TV shows like « Les enfants du rock », « Sex Machine », «Star 90 », and numerous galas with Radiah Frye in France, « Le Palace », « l’Aquarium », «Keur Samba »…in Portugal, Italy, Switzerland and in the US. He works in production and musical promotion with Cédric Naimi (Joker Music), and helps him organize several shows like « les platines d’Or » in Tunisia. In 1991, he leaves for Oakland to meet with his friend Tori Fixx (Prince's DJ) and they perform live on some underground stages (Oakland, San Francisco). They later release an EP under the name « Janiah », reference to Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey. Rudee then leaves for Los Angeles to meet one of his best friend and starts some casting process. The bar is set really high and thanks to his daring attitude he ends up singing on some french titles. An artist agency spots him and he is invited for numerous conventions and meetings. In 1992 - during the L.A. riots, one of his friends from the Forces is killed. Rudee stays and often comes back to France.
In the years 2000, Rudee breaks his shoulder and has to give up dancing.
Begins a heavy and low period where he questions himself and his goals. He starts composing and producing titles for Radiah Frye - Vibeflower - Ryan - Apache Jay 7 - Christophe Mallory.
After having been a dancer and a back-up singer, he decides to go deeper and try his luck singing.
He starts doing private evenings and joins his friends Léa, Orlando, Rachel and Eric in the Soul Funk band the « Brown Sugar » and performs with them around the world (Japan, Italy, Russia…)
He meets Gibs, a guitarist / Producer and records 5 songs influenced by the Californian Pop Rock wave : « U & Me » - « 9.1.1» - « Falling » - « Gone Away » - « I Feel » - « Nervous Breakdown » - « U Can’t Stop Me » and the glamorous « Touch U (All Over) ».
In 2011 : Rudee joins the rock band « Damaged Brain ». Thanks to his live performances, his voice and some original titles (« Back 4 Good », « Rock & Lover », Hope 4 2morow », « Touch U (All Over), « U & Me »), he seduces rock fans.
Rudee has acquired a solid reputation among critics and fans. The band split in 2015, but Rudee keeps recording rock songs under the name "R&O", by co-writing and co-composing songs with his friend Olivier P (drummer and since then guitar and bass) and Max Zik Zak (Guitar) both from « Damaged Brain ».
Rudee helped by Radiah Frye also goes back to his first love. He is today produced by Yoswing, Ox Sten, Steeve Gad, Chris Anderson, Christian Labbé, Soulhill and many others, in a frenzy of Electro, Funk, Rhythm and blues, Soul, Disco songs... Real "Oldies But Goodies ».
