Judy Rodman (born May 23, 1951 in Riverside, California) is an American Country Music Singer. In the mid-1980s, she was a successful country music singer, making all the way to number one on the country charts in 1986 with the song "Until I Met You." She also won the Academy of Country Music's "Top New Female Vocalist" award in 1985.
Today, Rodman is a singer, songwriter, producer and vocal instructor in Nashville, Tennessee. Her recorded songs include LeAnn Rimes's number-one hit "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)" (co-written with Keith Hinton). She has also developed Power, Path & Performance, a vocal technique she teaches and sells on CDs.
Rodman was born in Riverside, California, in 1951. When she was four years old, she began to sing. By the time she was eight, she was already playing the guitar. Because of this, she soon started singing with her father's band at a cruise ship party. While growing up, Rodman's family often moved from time to time. After living in so many places, Rodman's musical tastes varied from Cajun to Calypso. When Rodman was 17 years old, she began singing commercial jingles. Her voice was heard on one nationally for Jeno's Pizza. When she went to college at age 18, she studied music. Her roommate was Janie Fricke, also a future Country singer in the 1980s. The two soon became fast friends and became jingle singers for the Tanner Agency in Memphis, Tennessee. Rodman also sang with a local nightclub band called Phase II.
In the mid-1970s, Rodman worked as a background singer for Country-Soul singers. Soon Judy married drummer John Rodman and the couple decided to move to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1980. Here, Rodman sang jingles for national companies. Soon, Rodman would decide to change careers, and try to make it in the business of Country music.
