About Vesper:
"It's choas outside...Half past twelve in the full moonlight..."
Miss RodriQuez was born on a Friday the 13th in 1985, Lemoore, CA, and moved to South Lake Tahoe, CA in '89 where she graduated high school with honors in the top ten percent of her class in 2004.
Her orchestra experience of 5 year treble clef stopped when she dropped school ensemble to pursue electric bass on her own at age 16. She is a self taught bassist.
Through classes at Lake Tahoe Community College, RodriQuez learned music theory and basic piano skills as well as conga technique. She moved herself up to an intermediate drumset player and started playing bass for Eric Hellberg's Rock Ensemble class. Through Rock Ensemble, she met the people who would help shape her music experience and began participating in bands outside of class, eventually leading to her first gig with Phoenix 68 in May 2005.
The bands she's played with include: Phoenix 68 (bass), Chocolate Bunny Abyss (bass, vocals), Flav Engine (bass), Pavlov's Bender (drums), The Musical Abomination (random noises), and currrently, Bricklayer Bosh (bass, vocals) and Hocus (bass, vocals).
After taking 2 weeks to record the first session of "Oyuki," RodriQuez moved to San Diego, CA, in March 2007 to pursue music education and opportunities.
In January 2008, she enrolled at San Diego City College to work towards an Associate's in Digital Music and continued to finish the last recording touches on Oyuki. In December 2008, Bricklayer Bosh kicked off her first performance at South Park Bar and Grill, using just her bass, a mic, and a stereo.
In December of 2009, RodriQuez was awarded a degree of Associate in Visual and Performing Arts for Digital Music Technology from San Diego City College.
Currently, Vesper is performing around the San Diego, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas area and working on new music with Bricklayer Bosh Hocus,The Enlightened,and Adriana Smith/Ghost in the Graveyard.
