Let\u2019s face it, female bassists are underrated the world over. Today, we are shedding light on a few (and there are many) of our favorites.<\/p>\n
Since childhood, Canadian Rhonda Smith honed her skills at playing baritone horn and guitar before ultimately learning how to play the electric bass. She attended McGill University in Montreal, where she studied jazz performance in an attempt to tighten her connection to music.<\/p>\n
After achieving local success, she attended a music convention in Germany where she met the legendary Prince and went on to work with him for almost a decade, blazing her way towards further success. And this was just the beginning. Her desire to extend her reach allowed her to perform with the likes of Chaka Khan, Beyonc\u00e9, Larry Graham and many others. In 2000, Smith\u2019s career catapulted with the release of her first solo album \u201cIntellipop\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
