Rodney Bishop biography

Born 19th December 1966 or 1965 in Lambeth (South of London), he started to learn classing dance, jazz, and african dance from a very young age, then started practicing break dance. When he was aged of 20, he went to London in order to become a professionnal dancer. Former member of Positive Gang (he played the guitar in the Sweet Freedom videoclip) he then started working for Media Records. He danced in the official video for Anticappella - 2√231 and even did a few TV appearances in the UK for the project. Then he became Cappella's rapper from 1993 to 1997. He was briefly replaced by Patric Osborne in 1995, then came back in the project. The same year, 2 eurodance songs were released on compilations under the stage name Bishop. It is not confirmed wether it's him or not.

Rodney used to live in London then in Kent. In the interviews, he presented himself as a funny and cool man, whose only weakness in to be always late. He loves eating quite every kind of food, particularly the Jamaican meals his mother is preparing. But he hates eggs. He has a huge CD collection, particularly thanks to Media Records that gave him all the new releases. He admires Bob Marley and Martin Luther King who gave his life for the Black's cause. He likes DJing and cooking. For him the worst thing is ignorance. He hates liars. What he appreciates most in a woman is her sense of humor. He loves koalas. His favourite song is Go And See The Doctor by Fresh Prince, his favourite movie is Oliver Twist. He likes watching boxe challenges on the TV but doesn't boxes himself. He prefers wearing large and comfortable clothes and has pantys from Marks & Spencer. His favourite colour is green. He drives a Renault 5 turbo and a Ford Popslar.

But Rod wanted to start his own carreer and to make his own productions. He released a solo single in 1999, Shine On You. That's why raps on the new album Cappella released in Japan were not done by Rodney, but by the producer/writer Pagani. Rodney co-wrote and co-produced a single for Perpetual Motion with Andy Manston and Julian Napolitano, Keep On Dancing (Let's Go), which hit the top 20 in the UK and went #1 in the Dutch clubs. This song used the same sample as the classic club anthem Watch Me Now by Grooveyard, as well as a sample from D.O.P. Here I Go.

Rodney nowadays lives in London.
