Rod Prince
Rod is a native of Corpus Christi, on the coast of Texas. He first picked up the guitar at thirteen, finding his true love early in life. Rod was influenced most deeply by the Ventures, Dick Dale, Lonnie Mack, Jeff Beck and, as we all were, Jimi.
He dropped out of school at sixteen to apprentice with the hottest
band
in town, the Velvederes. Under the wing of keyboardist Gary
Beck,
Rod began his lifelong learning.
Rod was a member of the infamous "Bad Seeds", his first recording
experience,
releasing four singles on the J-Beck label. (a video clip
of the
Seeds has been the scourge of record conventions for years).
Rod
would join with Roy Cox to form BubblePuppy after the Bad
Seeds
split. On, through Demian, Manbeast, Crosswhen, New World Symphony, the
Deadhorse Puppy, the Prince Trio, to the apex in Sirius. He has two only-children,
Brenna and Amy, both very beautiful, favoring their mothers.
Since the demise of Sirius, Rod's worked in the construction trade,
an electrician
for many years. Rod's ActualArtists label consumes his extra time, a labor
of love for the music that has been his true life's work.
