Name: Rhea

Instrument: Vocals, keyboards, guitar

Musical Background: A lifetime of singing, a number of years playing the guitar as a hobby, piano lessons once upon a time (picked up again in 2011), virtually incapable without living without something always playing in the background ;-)
Bands I play in or have played in: Silent Wings ;-) a number of garage bands back in theday

Favorite Music: I have a pretty eclectic taste. Includes dark ambient, Irish folk, my all-time favorite singer-songwriter Vienna Teng, Apocalyptica, Nightwish, Within Temptation and a bunch of similar gothic-flavored bands, progressive stuff along the lines of Dream Theater and more atmospheric Anathema, Riverside and such, all the way to Breaking Benjamin, In Flames and Children of Bodom. :D Like I said, eclectic.

Influences: Vienna Teng, Tarja Turunen, Sharon den Adel, Simone Simmons, Floor Jansen, and many others.

Things I love to love: Cats, good tea, good music, peace of mind.

Things I love to hate: I don't really hate anything, but if I had to name something, it would be ignorance in people, bad communication, talking without listening.

Books: Anything fantasy—reading and writing. :) Most notably Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion, but anything by David Gemmell or Jim Butcher will also be an automatic favorite. :)

Movies: The Matrix, LotR, Inception, Star Wars, The Shawshank Redemption, City of Angels, and many others I can't remember off the top of my head :)

Gear: Whatever mics I can get my hands on, Midi keyboard+True Pianos and Garritan Cello VSTs , Ibanez RG570Rg570
