Lloyd Moss
& The Rock Collective Singer Rita Shukla
Why is it that Brazil always lands on the top of the
“coolest countries to be from” list every year? Well, I guess the real question
should be: “Have you ever met a Brazilian who you didn’t like or who wasn’t
cool? The answer to that one is a resounding “NO!”
Brazilians seem to have something extra that other
people just don’t have. We think it’s an added sense of feeling or maybe they
have an additional chromosome that enables them to simply enjoy life to the
fullest – smiling all the way. Whatever it is, Rita Shukla has it. She’s that
Brazilian singer, who is also a musician, an actor, a writer and …well she
probably has so many other talents that we’ll just have to wait till she
decides to tell us about them.
Rita is currently singing with the Lloyd Moss &
The Rock Collective, the L.A. based rock & roll band. They will be
performing at Molly Malone’s Irish Pub in the middle of December. She has
worked with other bands and she has acted in numerous plays including several
musical theater pieces that got her some rave reviews. She is quite experienced
for her age, simply because she received so much excellent training. She has
studied music since the age of four, dance since she was twelve and acting from
age 16. Plus, she graduated from a very prestigious university in Brazil:
University PUC-SP, where she studied acting and theatre. She also immersed
herself in a two-year conservatory for musical theatre in Los Angeles at AMDA
(American Musical and Dramatic Academy).
Once she got into musical theatre it was all over.
Well, it actually was the beginning for her because she realized that singing
was her real passion and she dove in head first. Since graduating from AMDA
Rita has been sung with several bands and focusing on her musical life. She has
found many like minded people in Southern California who she can collaborate
with in songwriting and music. Her career encompasses all she has learned in
theatre, acting, dance, musical theatre, music and singing. Rita is a talented
person who has a passion for art and performing and for life itself. Maybe
that’s what Brazilians have that others don’t.
