Chanda Rule

Chanda Rule

Electronic Press Kit

Her voice is sweet as a jazz bird, then bold like an R&B lioness in love. Her music is freeing and her performance passionate, moving, even purifying… washing her listeners with soul stirring lyrics, liberating melodies, and a velvet voice. Inspired to sing professionally with nothing but shower and school choir concerts to prepare, vocalist Chanda Rule embarked on a musical journey that has taken her from small towns in Illinois and Kentucky, to international venues in Milan, Moscow and Amsterdam. Whether she is on stage or in the studio, she is awed by the power of music. “There is something about rhythm and melody that can always find a smile, throw a head back with laughter, or even tears…it just transcends language and barriers.”
