Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Drums

Born in San Diego October 4th 1983, Rhythm Turner always knew her mission as a musician and performer. She grew up in a musical family, and would play on buckets as her father played guitar. Music and art coursed through her viens and could be found everywhere in her invironment thanks to her loving and creative parents. She picked up a few chords on guitar, but was very much drawn to the percussive rhythm instruments. She began playing concert percussion at Spring Valley Middle School, as well as marching and concert drums for the lay-buddhist organization Soka Gakkai International. By the 8th grade she started playing drums for a punk band trio called Blind Turtle.

Shortly after she turned 16, she auditioned for several giging bands to no avail. She was too young to play the bar scene. Regardless, Rhythm pressed on, playing second bass drum for Mount Miguel High School, then center snare for Monte Vista High School's drumline. As she grew and progressed in both poetry and music, she began a progresive, experimental fusion band with her brother, Evan, and another high school mate, which they called Itai Doshin (many in body, one in mind).

Finally Rhythm found steady work playing and working for a southern-rock band called The Elijah Clark Band. It was then when she picked the guitar back up and began dicovering she could sing and write her own songs. Rhythm took the lead and began her own project, backed by her father, Papa Shawn, and Evan, Rhythm and the Method was born. After a slew of bass players, drummers, and accompianists, Rhythm and the Method finally found the perfect pieces to the puzzle, Lisa Viegas, Laura Payne, and Nick Chowda. Currently Rhythm and the Method is proving to be a fast growing, sucessfull, and passionate endeavor which Rhythm couldn't be more proud of. To this day she is expanding her knowledge and understanding by studying music theory, afro-cuban percussion, and piano at Grossmont College in San Diego. Rhythm Turner is forever dedicated to a life of creating music to affect change in the world.
